8 wheel, 32 tonne grab lorry fleet

We operate an extensive fleet of 8-wheel, 32-tonne grab lorries, capable of hauling up to 16 tonnes of waste. This equipment meets the needs of all commercial and trade clearance projects.

Domestic and commercial construction projects

We support construction projects of all sizes, from large-scale commercial developments and nationally significant infrastructure schemes through to smaller domestic and residential works.

Across Cambridgeshire, one of the UK’s fastest-growing counties, continued investment in transport, energy, housing and innovation is reshaping the built environment and creating long-term opportunities for the construction sector.

Cambridge Biomedical Campus Expansion

The Cambridge Biomedical Campus remains one of the most significant life sciences and healthcare developments in Europe. A major expansion programme is underway, unlocking additional research, clinical and commercial space to support global pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical technology organisations.

This growth is strengthening Cambridge’s position as a world-leading hub for science and innovation while driving demand for supporting infrastructure, construction and supply chain services.

Cambridge South Station – Transforming Rail Connectivity

The new Cambridge South Station is a major infrastructure project located adjacent to the Biomedical Campus. Once complete, it will significantly improve rail connectivity across the region, providing direct access to London, Stansted Airport and key national routes.

The station is expected to support millions of journeys annually, easing congestion and improving access to one of the UK’s most important employment centres.

East West Rail – National Connectivity Corridor

East West Rail is one of the most significant infrastructure projects in the UK, reconnecting Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Cambridge. The scheme forms a central part of the Oxford–Cambridge Growth Corridor strategy.

Once complete, it will dramatically improve east–west connectivity, unlock new housing developments, support commercial growth, and enhance access to employment hubs across the region.

Housing Growth & New Settlements

Cambridgeshire continues to experience significant housing-led growth, with major developments underway in areas including Waterbeach, Northstowe, Cambourne and Peterborough.

These new settlements include thousands of homes alongside schools, healthcare facilities, green spaces and transport infrastructure, forming part of long-term strategies to support population growth and economic expansion.

Energy Infrastructure & Net Zero Transition

Significant investment is being made in the region’s electricity network to support increased demand from new housing, electric vehicles and low-carbon heating systems such as heat pumps.

These upgrades, led by network operators including UK Power Networks, are essential to enabling Cambridgeshire’s transition to a low-carbon future while maintaining resilience for future growth.

Supporting Regional Growth

Together, these developments are transforming Cambridgeshire into one of the UK’s most important centres for science, innovation, housing delivery and infrastructure investment.

As these developments continue to shape the future of the region, we are proud to support the construction sector with reliable contractor services, comprehensive contractor services solutions and the supply of high-quality primary and secondary aggregates.

Grab Hire Waste in Cambridgeshire

The hydraulic arm distinguishes grab hire from other waste removal methods. This arm efficiently picks up the waste you want removed (hence the name ‘grab’ hire), instead of requiring you to shovel everything into the container.

We aim to recycle 99% of the waste collected. Through our cutting-edge recycling facility, we can sort, treat, and recycle all classifications of waste.
Our facilities, processes, and extensive experience enable us to deliver the most ethical solutions, ensuring a direct positive impact on your business and a sustainable future for the planet and generations to come.

For legal and safety reasons, certain materials cannot be collected by our grab services. These include:  

  • Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (such as fridges, microwaves, hairdryers, radios, TVs, computers, kettles, and toasters)

  • Batteries  
  • Clinical waste (including syringes, soiled dressings, and medicine bottles)
