What is a HIAB?
A HIAB (Hydrauliska Industri AB) is a lorry-mounted crane designed for lifting and moving heavy loads safely and precisely. It combines the power of a crane with the flexibility of a flatbed truck, making it ideal for on-site loading, offloading, and transport of industrial equipment, fuel tanks, generators, or plant.
