HIAB hire is the use of a lorry-mounted crane to both transport and lift heavy or bulky items, eliminating the need for separate vehicles like a crane and a flatbed truck. This service combines loading, transport, and unloading into a single operation.
It is a versatile solution for moving materials on and off site, such as construction supplies, bulk bags, machinery, and containers, which improves efficiency and can save costs on using separate vehicles.
The HIAB arm can extend as far as 20m and lift 1- 4 Tonne in one lift depending on the vehicle’s location to the item being placed or collected!
