Hiab is a well-known brand that produces hydraulic loader cranes, and their name has become synonymous with this type of equipment. We also supply other makes of crane loaders including FASSI and Palfinger.

The hydraulic crane mounted on the truck allows for the efficient loading and unloading of heavy or bulky items, such as machinery, building materials, containers, and more. Hiab crane trucks are commonly used in construction, logistics, transportation, and other applications where the ability to handle heavy loading and unloading with precision and ease is essential.
The key feature of a Hiab truck is its hydraulic crane system, which typically includes a telescopic boom and various attachments to facilitate lifting and moving different types of loads. The operator can control the crane from a panel on the truck or from a remote control unit which is handheld, allowing for precise and controlled movements during the loading and unloading process, while clearly being able to see the load the driver is lifting.
