What are the benefits of HIAB hire?

A HIAB crane is a crane-mounted vehicle that combines the best functions of a hydraulic loading crane and a flatbed lorry. The crane is mounted to the chassis of the truck and is great for self-loading and offloading.

These modern vehicles are specifically designed to lift and transport heavy objects and equipment with ease – hence why they are used by numerous industries, including (but not limited to) shipping and construction. They can load and unload almost anything without the need for a separate crane, saving time and money whilst allowing for a smoother operation.

Here are just some of the advantages of HIAB hire:

  • A versatile piece of machinery – employed for a range of tasks and delivery sites
  • Removes the need for forklifts and mobile cranes, saving you money
  • Ability to collect cargo from areas of restricted/awkward access
  • Deliver goods safely in hard-to-reach locations and confined spaces, thanks to the extendable boom (crane arm)
  • Easy loading and unloading
  • No compromise to load capacity
  • Suitable for palletised goods (i.e. generators, compressors, containers)

If requested, we can supply Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) trained staff to operate machinery and carry our risk assessments – giving you the peace of mind that your goods are in the safest hands.
