Hiab Crane Hire in Kent & Nationwide | Professional Lifting & Loading Services
Safe, Precise Lifting & Loading for Heavy and Awkward Items Across the UK
Some loads can’t simply be lifted by hand or moved with a standard vehicle. When you need a heavy, bulky or awkward item loaded, unloaded or placed exactly where it needs to go, South East Haulage’s Hiab crane lorry is the solution. Our crane-equipped vehicle takes the effort out of the heavy lifting — saving you time, money, and the risk of damage to your goods or property.
What Is a Hiab?
A Hiab is a hydraulic crane mounted directly on a lorry, giving you the combined capability of a crane and a transport vehicle in one. Rather than needing a separate crane hire and a separate delivery vehicle, a Hiab lorry does both jobs in a single visit. It can lift, position and place loads with precision, making it ideal for deliveries and collections where access is restricted or where standard unloading equipment isn’t available.
What Can a Hiab Be Used For?
Our Hiab lorry is suitable for a wide range of lifting and loading tasks, including:
- Delivery and placement of heavy machinery and equipment
- Loading and unloading construction materials
- Placing large items in awkward or restricted locations
- Garden and landscaping deliveries including large planters, stones and water features
- Agricultural equipment and supplies
- Removal of heavy items where access prevents standard lifting methods
If you have a job that requires a crane and a vehicle, our Hiab is likely the most cost-effective and practical solution.
Precision Placement Where You Need It
One of the key advantages of a Hiab over a standard crane hire is precision. Our operator can position loads exactly where you need them — over walls, into tight spaces, onto raised platforms or into locations that would be impossible to reach on foot with standard equipment. If you need something placed accurately in a difficult spot, a Hiab is the right tool for the job.
