A powerful HIAB crane on a Volvo flatbed
For a Volvo dealer, we have recently finished a new demonstrator, delivered from the Hiab Factory Installation Center. The crane installed on this truck is the HIAB X-HiPro 638.
The Volvo FH500 is fitted with the low built 600 series subframe, the HIAB X-HiPro 638 E-8 + Jib 150X-6. The front stabiliser leg and 2,300 mm auxiliary stabiliser beam gives the crane with the jib maximum performance. That will say a capacity of 57 tm and horizontal outreach of up to 33.7 meters with a jib, and vertically up to 36.5 meters, this extra capacity crane is particularly suited to lifting heavy and bulky materials
The flatbed body from Hiab BodyWorks is provided with two stanchion rows and a hard wood floor and a lot of lashing rings. Underneath the side rave, stainless steel toolboxes are installed between the front axles, in the wheelbase and rear overhang for the storage of chains, ropes and other lifting equipment. Furthermore, the truck is provided with a normal positioned VBG trailer coupling and the standard light carrier with underneath the rear under bar the Hiab FrameWorks mudflap!
