HIAB

Hiab is a world-leading, innovative provider of load handling solutions for the ever-changing logistics environment.

With more than 70 years’ experience in design, development, manufacture and support, Hiab is the leading hydraulic load handling equipment provider with a global reach.

Hiab’s product range includes HIAB loader cranes, MULTILIFT demountables, MOFFETT truck mounted forklifts, JONSERED recycling and forestry cranes and LOGLIFT forestry cranes, as well as DEL, WALTCO and ZEPRO tail lifts.

MULTILIFT truck-mounted demountable systems enhance logistic capability, while reducing vehicle fleet size, manpower and running costs.
‘Multiple missile configuration’ - MULTILIFT demountables provide major cost savings because the requirement for infrequently used specialist vehicles is minimised. If suitable MULTILIFT military demountables can be supplied with a specially developed container handling unit (CHU).
HIAB has teamed up with a number of defence vehicle OEM’s, as well as trailer and body and module manufacturers to supply solutions to most of the logistical challenges faced by modern defence forces.
The HIAB crane, specially developed for recovery vehicles, with a maximum lifting capacity of 24Tm. Can be fitted with crane tip control (CTC) to make a vertical lift without a winch, plus automatic (un-)parking.
The range was developed to load and unload general cargo, pallets, ammunition, fuel cans and has lifting capacities from 7mt up to 11mt.
The HIAB MOFFETT M9 is suited to munitions delivery, helicopter support and fuel delivery. Low working height allows them to manoeuvre in areas where headroom is limited or restricted, such as close to helicopters.
MOFFETT truck-mounted forklifts can be carried on the back of a truck or trailer with no loss of load space. No-waiting for local off-loading equipment allows for a safer, faster and more cost effective load handling solution.
A military MOFFETT can be enlisted within a wide range of military applications. The manoeuvrability and excellent off-road capabilities makes it an ideal machine for operating in front line roles, stores management and attack helicopter support.
Its low overall carriage height and all-wheel drive, provides a unique ability to work inside ISO containers, dramatically increasing efficiency and reducing transport complexities. With a high proportion of front line stores and munitions being supplied in 6m or 12m containers, it allows unloading to take place safely and quickly.
