Since 2004, we have supported businesses with safe, efficient and fully planned Hiab services, helping customers move heavy materials and equipment without the need to arrange separate transport and crane hire.

Kent's diverse landscape presents a variety of logistical challenges. From major developments in Maidstone and Ashford to infrastructure projects around the M20 corridor and commercial sites near the Port of Dover, every job requires careful planning and experienced operators. Our modern fleet of Hiab vehicles allows us to deliver materials safely, whether we're working in busy urban centres, industrial estates or more rural locations across the Garden of England.

With a reputation built on reliability, professionalism and customer service, WB Services works with contractors, developers, utility companies and businesses throughout Kent to deliver lifting solutions that keep projects progressing on schedule.

What is Hiab Hire and When Do You Need It?

A Hiab is a specialist lorry fitted with a hydraulic loader crane, allowing materials to be transported and lifted using the same vehicle. This makes it an efficient solution for projects where heavy or awkward loads need to be delivered directly into position.

Rather than coordinating separate haulage and crane companies, Hiab hire combines both services, reducing costs, improving efficiency and simplifying project management.

Hiab hire is commonly used for:

  • Delivering structural steel
  • Positioning portable cabins
  • Transporting construction materials
  • Installing plant and machinery
  • Moving shipping containers
  • Delivering concrete products
  • Lifting generators and transformers
  • Installing HVAC equipment
  • Landscaping and civils projects

Our experienced team will assess your lifting requirements and recommend the most appropriate vehicle for your project.
