Mid-sized Hiab hire

Our general-purpose Hiabs: 8–12 tonne payloads on flatbed rigids, with a certified operator.

24/7 availability: call 0800 032 5021 (diverted out of hours)

Our mid-sized (medium) Hiabs cover most general Hiab work. Use them for a single delivery on spot hire or keep one on site for a longer contract.

Flatbed Hiabs for general work

Our mid-sized Hiabs are flatbed rigids built for everyday site deliveries and lifts: building materials, steel, plant and equipment, delivered and craned into place in one visit. Some have pull-out bars when a load needs extra length.

Bodies run from 20ft to 35ft, with payloads from 8,000kg to 12,000kg. The cranes range from 20 to 50 tonne-metres, with lifting duties from 6,000kg up to 12,500kg depending on the machine and the radius.

How to hire

Book under standard CPA hire, or let our team plan and run the lift as a CPA contract lift. Every Hiab comes with experienced, certified personnel, standard tackle, a fall arrest system and radio remote control for precise lifting. Our trucks are Crossrail compliant.

We work from our depot on Green Street Green Road, Dartford DA2 8DP, covering London, Kent, Essex, Surrey and the South East.
