Medium duty artic HIABs
Medium duty artic HIABs
These are one of our more useful combinations to tackle a variety of lift and load issues. Whether it be 20 foot sea containers, complete modular buildings or large security gates for a deliver and erect procedures, long sections of pipe (12.5 metre pipe-sticks) and with our bolstered trailers, large diameter PE coils for the gas or water industries that require loading and unloading in areas where no mechanical handling is available, or multiple component loads such as Temporary Vehicle Crash Barriers (TVCB) or All Terrain Vehicles (ATV) that are best dealt with by craning aboard to get decent load density, they offer unparalleled efficiency.
Because we have a full spectrum of articulated trailer types, with load capacities from 18 to 50 tonnes, it means we have all sorts of combinations to choose from.
