Overview

Groundworx Grabhire Ltd. supplies MOT Type 2 Aggregate, a versatile sub-base material known for its durability, this aggregate provides a stable foundation for construction and landscaping projects. Type 2 is a finer grade of sub base material than Type 1, and is typically used in applications where a more substantial base layer is required. Also referred to as Type 2 Sub Base, DOT Type 2, or simply Type 2, this material consists of crushed stone graded to a size range of 0-63mm. While similar to MOT Type 1, Type 2 has a higher proportion of fines, making it ideal for heavy duty construction and engineering projects where required.
