Introducing Grab Hire at Getting Rid Rubbish Removals!

While our new Grab Hire service is an absolute powerhouse for soil and rubble, we know that many of our commercial, industrial, and agricultural clients face an even tougher challenge: dealing with mountains of heavy, awkward scrap metal and the logistics of unwanted vehicles or large machinery.

At Getting Rid Rubbish Removals, we are excited to showcase how our Grab Hire service is the fastest, most efficient, and most robust solution for managing large volumes of metal waste in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and Cheshire.


The Scrap Metal Challenge: Too Heavy for a Skip

Scrap metal is not like general waste. It’s dense, often sharp, and can quickly exceed the weight limits of even the largest skip. Traditional skip hire means you have to manually load every piece—a time-consuming and often dangerous task.

Our Grab Lorry eliminates this entire struggle.

Power & Capacity: The Grab Hire Advantage

Our state-of-the-art grab lorries are purpose-built for heavy lifting. They offer a game-changing combination of features perfect for metal and vehicle scrap:

  • Massive Payload: With a capacity of up to 16 tonnes in a single load, our grab truck can clear a massive pile of scrap metal—from structural steel beams and piping to engine blocks—in one fast trip.
  • The Hydraulic Arm: The powerful grab arm does all the heavy, dirty, and difficult lifting for you. It can reach over walls or fencing up to 7 metres away to collect materials directly from your yard, garage, or industrial site.
  • Rapid Clearance: Forget days of manual loading. Our trained operator can fill the entire lorry in typically under 30 minutes, getting off your site quickly so you can get back to work.

What We Clear: From Car Shells to Factory Waste

If it’s big, bulky, and metal, our grab lorry can handle it:

Scrap TypeExamples We Collect
End-of-Life VehiclesCar shells, large body panels, chassis, heavy vehicle parts, and engine blocks.
Industrial ScrapOld machinery, factory equipment, heavy plant parts, industrial pipework, and metal off-cuts.

Export to Sheets

Note on Vehicles: For whole end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), we ensure all legal requirements are met, working with licensed facilities to provide safe and responsible disposal and recycling, including proper handling of hazardous fluids and parts.

More Than Just Removal: Responsible Metal Recycling

When you use our Grab Hire for your scrap metal, you’re choosing the most efficient path to responsible recycling. Metal is one of the most valuable resources to recycle, and by using a single, high-capacity collection method, we minimise transport emissions and maximise the volume of material diverted from landfill.

Every piece of metal we collect is taken to a licensed waste facility where it is segregated, processed, and ultimately sent back into the manufacturing cycle.
