What is a Hiab?

A Hiab, derived from the Swedish brand name “Hydrauliska Industri AB,” is a type of lorry loader crane widely used in the UK.

These cranes are also known as ‘lorry loader cranes’. They are characterised by their ability to lift, load, and position heavy goods.

The term “Hiab” has become synonymous with this type of equipment, which consists of a crane mounted on a truck, utilising the lorry’s engine to power the crane’s operations. In the realm of transportation and logistics,

Hiabs play a crucial role in efficiently handling various tasks, from construction projects and plant moves to specialised operations such as machine relocations and factory lifts.

At Sussex Transport, our Hiab trucks stand as a symbol of reliability, versatility, and safety, making them the ideal choice for a wide range of lifting and transport needs.
