Grab trucks

[Forestboy1978]

Guy I spoke to initially said £180 to grab. Not sure if that was inc or plus vat.

Anyway now he's saying £240 and its 12 1/2 ton max.

Ultimately that's marginally cheaper than a skip. Marginally. with the added hassle that I've got to remove all roots and turf.

What do you reckon. £180 plus VAT seemed good to me but I assumed that would be for an 8 wheeler which is 18 tons .

the above price... I may as well go with skip. I've still got to move the earth the same distance, barring up a ramp into the skip.

I've had some recently in crewe south cheshire. 190+vat. Straight 8 wheeler 160+vat.
Never heard turf being a problem

We use 2 grab firms here in Essex/ east end border .220 or 250 both pound notes for 16/17 tonne .20 pound for proper type 1 off them too

Around 200+vat round my way for 16t I'd ring around as that's dear for not being a full size grab.
Round here they don't mind turf too much but no roots they also get funny sometimes about scalpings even if it's just scalpings, although they have no problem selling it:rock:

Ta. Got it for £260 for 16 tons in the end. A little cheaper...

Main thing that ******* me off was the guy changed in prices the night before via text at 10pm.

[Forestboy1978]

In the end paid 950 something for 32 tons of disposal and 20 tons of type 1 CC.

Quite happy. Especially as I calculated disposal as 35 tons dry 45 wet and it's looking like gonna be 35 to the ton.

I pay £180 + vat for 8 wheelers that take 18 tons.
Turf and roots are a problem. Something to do with methane.

£250 here for the 8 wheeler no green waste whatsoever,and no rubbish ,just mud and hardcore

The money you guys are paying for muck away and transport..........I'm glad I run my own fleet of trucks! I call them "Mobile Skips" as that's what they basically are, plus they are mobile adverts for me going to and from jobs.

Even with your own wagons, you still need a licensed site on which you can tip, and that's when the tax comes in. How much is it now for, say, an 8-wheeler to tip?

[Dave_L]

Just to tip £40+VAT

[Forestboy1978]

Just to tip £40+VAT

OMG

I'm going to negotiate a better deal!

[Dave_L]

Obviously that rates will vary around the country but that's what I pay to tip sub-grade excavated material, no concrete tarmac or roots etc
