Super Heavy Lift

Super heavy lift rigid HIABs (71 - 120 t/m)

This emerging ​class of vehicle opens up a completely new range of opportunities to deliver and crane into position items that add another dimension to our already extensive offering.

With 360 degree duties and impressive capacities such as 4 tonnes at a radius of 17.75 metres these titans offer the power of a mobile crane with the speed and convenience of standard lorry loader configurations.

Additional functionality via features such as extendable body sections and drag hitches to connect a range of trailers make these an invaluable -platform to support a range of heavy duty and industrial projects including plant moving, tank relocations and site accommodation and portacabin installations.

Fly jib

The fly jib makes it ideal for working over a house and roof apex’s for HIAB deliveries of hot tubs, Jacuzzi, swim spas, garden ornaments, chimney liners, sheds and outbuildings. Plus delivering and positioning solar panels, SIPS panels, architectural steel work, small and medium sized wind turbines.

Technically challenging positioning and installs of balconies, balustrades and having the ability to send in and under doors, into roof spaces and through access points gives us capabilities far exceeding the expectations of a truck mounted crane​.

We can also couple to a range of trailers see Rigid + Drag trailers (Wagon & Drag).
