What are the dimensions and legal carrying capacity of the 8-wheel grab hire lorries we operate in Bermondsey?

8-Wheel Grab Lorry Dimensions:

The dimensions and legal carrying capacity of an 8-wheel grab lorry can vary slightly depending on the specific make and model, However, here are some general guidelines:

Grab Hire Lorry Length: Typically around 8 to 10 meters (26 to 33 feet)
Grab Hire Lorry Width: Usually around 2.5 to 3 meters (8 to 10 feet)
Grab Hire Lorry Height: Approximately 3 to 4 meters (10 to 13 feet)

8-Wheel Grab Lorry Legal Carrying Capacity:

The legal carrying capacity of an 8-wheel grab lorry is usually determined by weight rather than volume, as weight limits are enforced to ensure road safety.

In Bermondsey, for example, the legal gross vehicle weight (GVW) limit for a standard 8-wheel grab lorry is typically around 32 tonnes.
However, the actual payload capacity may vary depending on factors such as the weight of the vehicle itself (unladen weight) and any additional equipment installed.

An 8-wheel grab hire lorry typically has a carrying capacity of around 16 tonnes of waste rubble, soil, muck, or delivered aggregates, depending on factors such as the specific make and model of the grab lorry.

It's important to note that the actual capacity may vary slightly depending on the density and compaction of the material being transported. Soil, for example, may have a lower density compared to rubble, allowing for a larger volume to be carried within the weight limit.

It's important for Bermondsey grab lorry hire customers and operators to adhere to weight limits to avoid overloading, which can result in fines, vehicle damage, and potential safety hazards on the road.

What is the reach of the clamshell bucket on an 8-wheel grab lorry?

The reach of the clamshell bucket on an 8-wheel grab lorry can vary depending on the specific make and model of the vehicle, as well as the design of the grab arm or boom. However, a typical reach for a clamshell bucket on an 8-wheel grab lorry is around 6 to 8 meters (approximately 20 to 26 feet).

As long as the grab lorry has sufficient access this range allows the grab lorry to efficiently reach and collect and deliver materials from a variety of distances, making it well-suited for loading waste material and unloading aggregates in construction sites, gardens, over walls and hedges, and other industrial settings in the Bermondsey area.

All of our Bermondsey grab lorry operators are trained in the proper use of the clamshell bucket and follow safety protocols to prevent accidents and ensure efficient waste removal and aggregate deliveries. Regular maintenance and inspection of our grab arms and clamshell buckets are also essential to achieve optimal performance and safety.

How long does it take to load an 8-wheel grab hire lorry?

Grab hire lorry loading time very much depends on access to the waste material, can the grab arm extend safely whilst avoiding obstacles like overhead cables, buildings, garden walls, fences or hedges for example? to give you an example here is a short video of an 8-wheel grab hire lorry loading loose soil from a gardening company yard. As long as access is clear we estimate it takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes to load an 8-wheel grab lorry (16 tonnes), and a similar amout of time to unload aggregates or top soil using the clamshell bucket.

What's the best solution for disposing of soil, muck-away or rubble in Bermondsey, grab lorry hire or skip hire?

The choice between grab lorry hire and skip hire for disposing of soil or rubble from a garden or construction site depends on several factors, including the volume of waste, accessibility of the site, convenience, and cost. Here’s a comparison to help determine which might be the best solution for your needs in Bermondsey:

Grab Lorry Hire Advantages:

Large Volume Capacity: Grab lorries can handle large volumes of waste, often up to 16 tonnes, making them suitable for significant amounts of soil or rubble.
Efficiency: Grab lorries can load waste quickly using a hydraulic arm, which can be faster than manually filling a skip.
Accessibility: Ideal for sites with restricted access or where waste is spread over a larger area, as the grab arm can reach over walls and fences.
No Need for Permits: Generally, you don’t need a permit for a grab lorry as it typically parks on the street and collects waste quickly.

Grab Lorry Hire Disadvantages:

Cost: While cost-effective for large volumes, grab hire can be more expensive for smaller amounts of waste.
Scheduling: You need to schedule a specific time for the lorry to come, which might not be as flexible as having a skip on site for several days.

Skip Hire Advantages:

Flexibility: Skips come in various sizes, making them suitable for different volumes of waste. You can choose the size that best fits your needs.
Convenience: You can fill the skip at your own pace, and it can stay on site for a longer period, allowing for ongoing disposal as work progresses.
Cost: For smaller volumes of waste, hiring a skip can be more cost-effective.

Skip Hire Disadvantages:

Permit Requirement: If the skip is placed on a public road, you may need a permit, which can incur additional costs and require time to arrange.
Manual Labor: Filling the skip requires manual labor, which can be time-consuming and physically demanding.
Space Requirement: You need adequate space on your property or on the street to place the skip.

Recommendations:

Large Volume and Restricted Access: If you have a large volume of waste and need quick, efficient removal, grab lorry hire is likely the best option. It is particularly useful if the waste is spread over a wide area or if site access is difficult.
Small to Medium Volume and Extended Disposal Period: If you have a smaller volume of waste or prefer to fill the container over time, skip hire is more suitable. This option is also better if you have the space to accommodate a skip and do not mind the manual effort involved.

Cost Comparison:

Grab Lorry Hire: Grab hire is generally more cost-effective for large amounts of waste due to the higher capacity and quicker loading time.
Skip Hire: More economical for smaller loads and allows for gradual waste disposal.
