What is a HIAB?
Effortless lifting and transportation made simple with HIABs.
Everything you need to know about HIABs
Unlock the power of precision lifting with HIAB, the global leader in truck-mounted cranes. Manufactured by Hydrauliska Industri AB (HIAB), these versatile cranes are often mistaken as a generic term for all truck-mounted lifting equipment—but HIAB is a pioneer in the industry. With a reputation for reliability, a HIAB combines a truck, a hydraulic crane arm, and an advanced control system to handle complex transport and lifting tasks.
How does a HIAB work?
Efficiency meets innovation through powerful hydraulics.
HIABs operate using hydraulic systems that enable smooth lifting, lowering, extending, and even rotating of loads. With precise controls, operators can carefully manoeuvre heavy materials with minimal effort. Safety is paramount, and HIAB cranes include features like stabilisers and locking mechanisms, all adhering to strict operational regulations.
