Capabilities of Long Reach HIAB Hire
Engineered to transport and lift incredible heavy loads. Long reach HIABs are a remarkable, capable and versatile choice for lifting with precision.
Maximum Weights and Load Sizes
Our Long Reach HIABs can handle large loads, with lifting capacities ranging from up to 15 tonnes for short-range lifts to several tonnes even at extended distances. This makes them ideal for moving loads such as construction materials, heavy machinery, shipping containers, hot tubs and other bulky items safely and efficiently.
Extended Reach and Precision
The big draw of long reach HIABs is that they’re equipped with hydraulic extensions meaning they don’t just lift and drop but can extend and larger lorries have a horizontal reach of up to 30 meters and a vertical lift height exceeding 20 meters. This capability allows us to access hard-to-reach places such as rooftops, over fences or walls, roofs and into restricted or confined spaces, with accuracy.
Applications for Long Reach Cranes
Here are some of the key applications of HIAB trucks and instances where these vehicles excel, especially when access is limited or challenging:
- Lifting and placing heavy steel beams, scaffolding, site cabins, or concrete blocks on difficult-to-reach areas of a construction site.
- Lifting and positioning boats, jet skis, or marine equipment over obstacles like walls or into narrow docks.
- Transporting and installing large trees, sculptures, and landscaping materials into tight garden spaces.
- Moving heavy materials like track sections or railway sleepers to inaccessible rail sites.
- Delivering and positioning farming machinery, hay bales, or silos directly into barns and fields.
- Removing heavy debris, machinery, or large structures from awkward spaces during demolition projects or after storm damage.
- Lifting roofing materials, HVAC units, or solar panels onto rooftops.
- Lifting and moving modular buildings, cabins, garden outbuildings, summer houses and hot tubs into position in gardens or other areas.
Benefits of Long Reach HIAB Hire
When hiring our Long Reach HIABs here are some of the advantages you can benefit from:
- Seamless Lifting and Transport in One: Long Reach HIABs can transport heavy objects and lift them into place without the need for a separate crane, simplifying logistics, saving time and reducing overall costs compared to hiring separate vehicles.
- Extended Reach for Hard-to-Access Locations: With impressive horizontal and vertical reach capabilities, long reach HIABs are perfect for delivering materials to awkward spaces such as elevated, confined or walled-in areas. Standard equipment like forklifts wouldn’t be able to access these spaces.
- Safety and Security for Your Loads: Using the right type of vehicle and lifting method means safe and secure handling of your goods. Reducing the risk of damage during transport and placement.
- Versatility: Whether in construction, industrial, shipping, or landscaping, Long Reach HIABs are adaptable and versatile for a wide range of applications.
- Compact and Agile Performance: Despite their long reach, these HIABs maintain a compact footprint, allowing them to manoeuvre in restricted spaces more effectively than standard cranes. We have smaller HIABs capable of fitting down narrow country lanes or small side roads in busy city centres.
When you choose Long Reach HIAB hire you’ll benefit from a reliable, efficient, and versatile solution for your heavy lifting and transport needs.
