Professional HIAB Hire Service to Meet Your Lifting Needs
At Trident Specialist Transport, we offer a diverse fleet of HIAB lorries tailored to meet your transportation and lifting requirements. Our self-loading capabilities enable the efficient transport of heavy loads such as generators, welfare units, and machinery from point A to B. Whether it’s a single lift or a full day of lifting assistance, we are ready to help.
Our larger lorry is specially equipped for long reach lifting, with and impressive 600kg capacity at 28.5 metres. It features fly jib and cable attachments for precise lowering or lifting of goods over buildings. Our smaller 18-ton lorry is ideal for navigating the narrow streets of London, whilst still boasting an impressive 550kg capacity at 14-metre reach. Whatever your lifting needs, Trident Specialist Transport provides versatile solutions with precision and efficiency.
What Is a HIAB?
A Hiab is a type of vehicle specifically designed to lift and transport heavy objects. They often come in a lorry design with a hydraulic crane fitted on the back for efficient loading and unloading. The crane is also attached to a flexible arm so that it can access objects in even the hardest-to-reach areas. As such, when you hire a Hiab and driver, you eliminate the need to engage the services of separate crane and transport companies.
Here at Trident Safes, we have a dedicated fleet of Hiab vehicles that can assist in any large removal project. Our staff are highly knowledgeable in the logistics of moving large items and have many years of professional experience working with a range of clients. In addition, ensuring all removal and transport services are conducted in-house means that there is higher confidence in the work being done correctly and to the highest standard.
Flexible HIAB Services Delivered By Experts
Our HIAB hydraulic cranes are designed to reach into tight or restricted spaces where other types of lifting equipment may struggle. This is because they typically have up to 180° of rotational movement, allowing them to be operated flexibly. Indeed with a lengthy reach of 16.5 metres offered by some of our HIAB fleet, hiring a vehicle to help move even heavy items in and out of tricky locations becomes simpler, especially when the process is handled for you by one of our trained professionals.
Benefits of HIAB Crane Hire
Here are some of the benefits you will receive when you hire our Hiab lorries:
- Our lorries can transport and deliver heavy objects easily, and they can load and unload these objects without the need for a separate crane
- They can move goods between sites safely and securely
- Hiab lorries can be used for a wide range of industries, including banking, shipping, construction and more
- Because Hiab lorries with cranes come as a single unit, they are designed to work in unison and are better at heavy logistics compared to separate transport and crane operations
- Hiab cranes can reach into tight and restricted spaces, as they often have up to 180 degrees of rotation with a length of 16.5 metres
- Hiab cranes are also more compact than standard cranes, making them easier to move around where needed
- Hiring separate transport and crane companies is costly and time-consuming. Hiring a Hiab with a driver helps reduce costs and makes the operation smoother overall
