Frequently Asked Questions

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 the UK, 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 essential for 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.

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, 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.

All of our 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 crucial for achieving optimal performance and ensuring safety.

Grab Lorry Aggregate Deliveries

Grab lorries can also deliver a wide range of construction and landscaping materials, including:

  • Type 1 MOT
  • Type 3 Aggregate
  • Crushed concrete
  • Sharp sand
