Grab Hire in Derby

Bailey Earthmoving provides grab hire across Derby – from the city centre and Pride Park to Allestree, Mickleover, Littleover, Chaddesden, Spondon, Alvaston and Chellaston. Our base at Lower Kilburn is just north of the city, so our grab lorries are never far from your site. Grab hire suits Derby's terraced streets and tight driveways: the crane loads over walls and fences straight from the road, so there's no skip left on the street and no barrowing waste through the house. We can take soil, rubble and hardcore away and deliver sharp sand, MOT Type 1, gravel or topsoil on the same visit.

Fast, Affordable Grab Lorry Hire by Bailey Earthmoving

What is Grab Hire?

Grab hire is a fast and efficient alternative to skip hire, particularly when access is tight or time is short. Using a hydraulic grab arm, our lorries can collect and remove waste directly from your site – meaning no need for manual loading or waiting for skip swaps.



Our grab lorries can carry up to 16 tonnes of material in a single load, helping you keep your site tidy, safe, and compliant.

What We Can Remove?

Our grab lorries are suitable for a wide range of materials, including:


  • Inert waste – soil, clay, sand, stone
  • Hardcore and rubble
  • Broken concrete and tarmac
  • Green waste – branches, grass, tree roots
  • General builder’s waste and muck away


Not sure if your waste is suitable for grab hire? Give us a call and we’ll advise you on the best solution.
