HIAB solutions already offer some interesting products fulfilling these needs like the CYCLONE tank, ePTO and eRoller Crane.
CYCLONE Tank
Reduce your operating costs
The efficient CYCLONE tank system runs on less oil, reducing purchases during the whole crane's life.
More payload available
Compact CYCLONE tank excels in performance and provides additional space on the truck, maximizing payload capacity thanks to its efficient oil usage.
Reduce your operating costs
The efficient CYCLONE tank system runs on using less oil, and this means having to purchase less of it during the whole lifetime of the crane’s life.
Simple, yet more money for your business.
More payload available
The smaller space required for the CYCLONE tank, on par with the highest performance level delivered, gives both more space on board the truck, and the lower oil needed means more weight that can be used for payload.
Give your business only what really matters.
ePTO
Work in silence, work at zero emissions
The ePTO is our Electric Power Take Off, an electro-hydraulic power pack for cranes. It sits alongside the traditional engine-driven system, enabling operators to work with the truck engine switched off, yet still do all the same jobs as usual. The ePTO delivers numerous advantages, both environmental and economic. For example, 60–70% lower energy consumption, 70% lower operating costs, and 30% lower noise level.
R-HiPro 112e
The silent evolution of the crane
This eRoller electric roll loader crane is powered by a lithium ion battery. The battery pack also powers the movements of the crane along the truck’s bed, silently bringing the crane closer to where it is needed for the loading and lifting operations. The possibility to work emission free and within city noise levels, certifies this product as an environmentally friendly solution enabling work in areas where traditional products would not qualify.

Efficiency features
At HIAB we make a personal commitment to enhance and optimize the efficiency during all the cycles related to your activity. Technology innovations are essential in making work life easier and more efficient, and for that reason, we are able to offer a wide range of loader cranes that match or exceed your daily work needs.
CTC: Crane Tip Control
Precise load direction while intelligently assisting operators
CTC helps drive the load in the right direction, whereas the intelligence of the control system helps interpret the lever movements and reduces the number of actions on them, bringing the load where it is needed.
The complex actions on the levers that can be made by the more expert drivers are instead assisted for those needing more support during this action.
CTC: Crane Tip Control
Getting the best results from every skill level of driver
HIAB is aware that being able to train drivers takes time, and many times companies can't retain them over time. Technology provides a solution. The possibility to manage the crane through the advanced control systems enable efficient resource management for both experienced operators and new employees that needs to be operative without losing too much time. Among the many systems available is the CTC, Crane Tip Control, which facilitates the most complex works.
Avoiding damage, avoids harmful costs
Being busy at worksites, in addition to trying to get things done fastly for your customers, often means making mistakes. HIAB’S loader cranes technology and the many smart solutions help reduce human driven errors and compensate for and avoid making damages.
For example the Rapid Lock System or the Semi Automatic Motion [SAM] systems are options available for the higher end models.
SAM: Semi Automatic Motion
Avoiding damage, avoids harmful cost
Being busy at worksites, in addition to trying to get things done fastly for your customers, often means making mistakes. HIAB’S loader cranes technology and the many smart solutions help reduce human-driven errors and compensate for and avoid making damages.
The Semi Automatic Motion (SAM) minimizes risks to the crane, track, and surroundings, ensuring safe and speedy operations with easy use.
RLS: Rapid Lock System
The flexible HIAB Rapid Lock System (RLS) makes it faster and easier to exchange different crane attachments. The operator simply maneuvers the crane arm into the chosen accessory, where HIAB’s advanced electrohydraulic locking function ensures quick, secure coupling. In addition to boosting productivity, RLS improves safety as there is no need for the operator to climb the vehicle and manually secure the attachment.
GETTING THINGS DONE FASTER
Repetitive actions can be automated and made faster through the use of technology, while reducing the stress at operator level. The Semi Automatic Folding [SAF], option available for the HiDuo and HiPro controlled cranes, with the touch of a few levers from the remote control helps open and close the crane to its desired position at a faster pace than having to do all the operation manually, and while doing so, reducing the risk of damages or accidentally not doing it well.
KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS RUNNING, ALL THE TIME
HIAB is synonymous with “uptime” and it is our commitment to deliver products that will work longer and control systems made to protect them. The Load Stability System-Vertical [LSS-V] is a clear example of how reducing the stress to the structure of the crane keeps it working for a long time, and by reducing the risk of damages to the working site or the precious load, will reduce the negative impacts of a downtime.
An efficient and prompt Service network furthermore gives you the needed support in the moments things should require an intervention, getting you back to work in the fastest way possible.
