Hiab Hire & Specialised Transport

Stop Wasting Budget on Separate Cranes and Transport.

Moving heavy assets like generators, cabins or steel containers usually requires a crane to lift it and a truck to move it. That’s two invoices and twice the coordination stress.

Our Hiab (truck-mounted crane) fleet eliminates the middleman. We lift, load, transport and site your equipment with a single vehicle. Whether it’s a tight construction site in Manchester or a remote industrial unit, we provide the reach and the power to get it placed perfectly.

Precision Reach and Heavy-Duty Lifting Capacities.

The Reach

Long-reach crane arms for over-fence deliveries and mezzanine placements

The Payload

Heavy-duty beds capable of carrying oversized industrial components.

The Precision

Remote-controlled crane operation for millimeter-perfect positioning.

If It’s Heavy, Awkward or High-Value—We Move It.

• Public Liability: Industry-leading insurance for total peace of mind.
