What Are Hiab Crane‑Mounted Lorries?
Hiab crane‑mounted lorries combine the practicality of a flatbed or rigid lorry with the power of an integrated hydraulic crane. This allows lifting, loading, and unloading to be carried out directly on site, removing the need for additional lifting equipment such as mobile cranes or forklifts.
As a result, projects benefit from faster operations, improved safety, and reduced overall costs. For clients requiring small crane hire, Hiab crane lorries offer an efficient, flexible alternative with excellent mobility.
Manufactured by the renowned Swedish brand Hiab, these cranes are known for innovative engineering and reliability. With configurations capable of handling lightweight loads through to multi‑tonne cargo, our Hiab fleet provides a specialist heavy lifting equipment hire service for demanding environments.
Loader Cranes
Hiab loader cranes are a versatile solution for businesses that require combined lifting and transport capabilities. Mounted directly onto the lorry, they offer flexibility for construction projects, manufacturing sites, and logistics operations.
- Weight Capacity: Payloads range from 3.5 tonnes up to 40 tonnes, covering light‑duty through to heavy‑duty lifting requirements.
- Lifting Capacity: Capable of lifting loads of 12 tonnes or more, making them ideal for plant, machinery, and construction materials.
- Outreach Length: With reaches exceeding 20 metres, these Hiab cranes can access restricted or confined spaces.
- Key Features: Advanced hydraulics, stabilisers, and compact designs ensure safe, precise operation even on tight sites.
These vehicles are commonly used where mobile crane hire would be impractical or cost‑inefficient.
HIAB Forestry Cranes
Our Hiab forestry crane lorries are purpose‑built for demanding timber and woodland operations. They provide a reliable solution for logging, timber handling, and forestry transportation in remote or uneven terrain.
- Weight Capacity: Up to 25 tonnes, ideal for logs and bulky timber loads.
- Lifting Capacity: Up to 10 tonnes, allowing safe handling of irregular and heavy materials.
- Outreach Length: Reaches up to 15 metres for efficient loading and unloading in restricted woodland environments.
- Key Features: Reinforced booms, heavy‑duty grapples, and high‑performance hydraulics designed specifically for forestry use.
These cranes eliminate the need for separate lifting machinery, streamlining forestry operations.
HIAB Recycling Cranes
Hiab recycling-crane-mounted lorries support efficient and sustainable waste-handling operations. They are designed for high‑volume material movement while maintaining control and precision.
- Weight Capacity: Supports payloads from 5 to 30 tonnes depending on configuration.
- Lifting Capacity: Lifting power between 8 and 10 tonnes, ideal for scrap metal and recyclable materials.
- Outreach Length: Outreach of up to 18 metres for accessing stockpiles and confined recycling sites.
