Firstly, what exactly are grab lorries? Well, think of these a little like giant hybrids between a skip and a truck. They have an arm that does all the hard work, meaning you don’t have to. The material types grab lorries work best for include: muck, hardcore, mixed general waste, green waste, wood and more.
Not only are they ideal for taking away used waste from homes and commercial locations, they’re great for tarmac- and concrete-related work, for lifting things via a sling such as pallets, and also as haulage vehicles to transport aggregates, etc. At Acorn, we offer a variety of primary and recycled aggregates, such as quality screened topsoil, which we can deliver to your site or your property in Biggleswade and the surrounding areas.
The hydraulic arm on a grab lorry will load your materials into the large container bed, in order for the waste to be easily transported right back to our base in Bedfordshire in just a single trip.
Our entire range of modern and reliable grab lorries are safely driven and expertly operated by fully trained, skilled, experienced drivers—and they’re friendly too!
We can provide both day and night services for grab lorry hire. Whatever your requirements may be, we can assist, and we also offer emergency call-outs in a crisis.

Crucially, these lorries are large, meaning there’s huge capacity in them for however much waste you have. Each one in our range can hold the equivalent of two 8yd skips (16 tonnes).
Additionally, the ‘grab’ aspect of the lorries saves time and energy by avoiding multiple trips to a skip with a wheelbarrow for example, with the arm doing the back and forth for you. By delivering a faster process, waste removal, site clearances, construction projects, etc. can be completed more quickly and more efficiently, bringing the next stage of your plan closer.
Notably, not all places in Biggleswade are easy for humans to reach. Heavy machinery such as grab lorries aren’t as limited, making it an effective option for waste removal. For example, a heap of rubble can be accessed by the grab function from metres away, and from difficult angles by instead going over, not around.
And lastly, full grab lorries can leave as soon as possible, without the necessity to keep on your driveway, your road, or at your yard until collection. To maximise workload while out and about in our areas, we’re also able to collect waste from one place, to then deliver to another.
