Hiab’s 80th Anniversary: The History of Hiab

Hiab’s journey began in 1944 when the company’s visionary founders introduced the first-ever loader crane. This groundbreaking innovation revolutionised load handling, setting new standards in efficiency and capability. Over the decades, Hiab has remained committed to pushing the boundaries of technology through a series of industry-firsts.

The 1950s saw the advent of the first fully hydraulic loader crane, further establishing Hiab as a pioneer. By the 1970s, Hiab had expanded its portfolio to include advanced models with increased lifting capacities and enhanced functionality. The 1980s and 1990s brought about the integration of electronic controls, improving precision and ease of use.

Entering the 2000s, Hiab embraced the digital age by introducing telematics and remote control systems, allowing for real-time monitoring. The most recent innovations focus on sustainability and smart technology. Ultimately, Hiab’s development of hybrid and electric-powered load handling solutions marked a significant progression towards greener operations.
