Need a Hiab in London? WB Services supplies lorry-mounted cranes with a trained operator right across the capital, from Central London and the City to the boroughs. Our Dartford depot sits just off the A2 and the M25, so we can be into South and East London quickly and anywhere in London on the day you need us.
Hiab hire built for London streets
London lifting means narrow roads, parked cars, overhead cables, scaffolds and tight delivery windows. A Hiab delivers and lifts in one visit, so there's no need for a separate mobile crane or forklift on site. Where the drop zone is behind a building or over a hoarding, a long reach Hiab can place the load without closing the street for a bigger crane. We can also plan out-of-hours and night lifts when the road is quieter.
The right Hiab for the job
- Small Hiabs for tight residential streets, building materials and everyday site deliveries.
- Medium Hiabs for heavier loads such as cabins, plant, steel and pallets of materials.
- Long reach Hiabs with up to 32m reach for lifting over buildings, scaffolds, hoardings and gardens. Our Fassi F1050 with L436 flyjib gives a 37m tip height and up to 33.4m hydraulic outreach.
- Heavy lifting Hiabs for the biggest loads, matched to the weight and the radius.
Every hire comes with our trained, ALLMI-qualified driver, who operates the crane. Tell us the load, the distance from the kerb to the drop zone and any access limits, and we'll match the right truck.
What we lift in London
Basements, loft conversions, new builds, glazing, steel, cabins, plant and building materials, on residential streets and commercial sites. We also provide Hiab and lifting support for rail projects, including possession work, weekends and nights.
CPA hire or a CPA contract lift
With standard CPA hire you get the Hiab and a trained operator, and you plan and supervise the lift. If you'd rather hand it over, book a CPA contract lift: our Appointed Person plans the lift, with 2D/3D CAD lift plans and RAMS, and we supply the crane supervisor and slinger/signaller and manage the lift on the day.
