Tipper Hires in London

What Are Tippers & Grab Lorries?

• Tipper trucks are lorries with rear tipping bodies that unload by raising the bed and letting loose the load. They are ideal for moving bulk materials like aggregate, soil, hardcore, or waste from sites to disposal or recycling centres.
• Grab lorries (also called “grab trucks”) are tipper vehicles fitted with a hydraulic grab arm. This allows the lorry to reach over fences, walls or into stacks on the ground and load material directly into the back, without needing manual loading or skips.

The combination of tipper and grab lorry services gives flexibility: use standard tippers where manual loading is fine, or grab lorries when access is tight or manual loading is impractical.

Many waste & haulage companies advertise these combined services. For instance, Shorts Group promotes “Tippers and Grabs” as waste removal from sites, noting that their tippers can remove ~18 tonnes per load and grab lorries can reach ~7 metres from the curb to collect waste. Also, grab + tipper services in London and Home Counties are offered by businesses combining muck-away, aggregates delivery and clearance in a single fleet.

Why Choose JOD Group’s Tipper & Grab Service?

• Efficient & fast — eliminate double handling. The grab arm loads material directly; standard tippers can then transport large volumes in one trip.
• Better site coverage — no need to erect skips or apply for permits for public highway placement. Grab lorries can often reach over fences or walls.
• Scalable capacity — from smaller jobs (soil removal, garden clearances) to large construction projects (demolition waste, bulk excavation).
• Licensed, compliant operations — all waste movements are handled under our waste carrier licence, with waste transfer notes and regulated disposal.
• Transparent pricing — you receive quotes that include collection, haulage, drop fees, disposal or recycling, and no hidden extras.
• Flexible scheduling — same-day or next-day service where possible, and priority slots for urgent works.

How Our Tipper & Grab Service Works

1. Request a quote — tell us your postcode, type of waste or material, approximate volume, and access conditions.
2. Choose vehicle type — we’ll recommend whether a grab lorry, tipper truck, or combination suits your site best.
3. Book time slot — we provide a delivery/collection window.
4. Site access & preparation — we assess access routes, overhead obstacles, ground stability and safety.
5. Loading & transport — grab lorry picks up from ground or over barriers, then tipping trucks transport to licensed facilities.
