Operator Safety and Comfort

Hiab Loaders top seat area has been designed with operator safety in mind. The operator area is surrounded with safety rails, and the premium top seat is comfortable, ergonomic, and easy to access. The seat has wide range of adjustments, allowing it to be adjusted to the ideal working position. All standard operations are at arm's reach from the top seat, offering easy access to the stabilizer controls, truck start/stop, e-stop, and work light controls.

Estop System

An optional E-stop kit improves safety. One hit on the button stops all operations – just what you need in an emergency, such as hydraulic system failure. This option also includes operator indication for transport status of boom and stabilizers and operational status of capacity.

Load Holding Valves

For enhanced safety, Hiab Loaders can be equipped with Load Holding Valves (LHV) for boom systems and/or slewing. LHV's will keep the load safe and stationary in the event of damage to a hydraulic hose or connector.

Precision Hydraulic System

Hiab Loaders have a Precision Hydraulic System with a fixed pump, 2 circuit system. Its high pressure filtration and other operational characteristics, such as their control valve/spool design, create a smooth operation with high flow capabilities.

Double rack'n'pinion slewing system

The column design offers use of high-torque rack and pinion slewing mechanism for more precise and efficient loader control. In addition, the double racks offer higher slewing torque capabilities for more efficient loading and better performance in uneven terrain. The slewing mechanism is lubricated constantly in an oil bath, increasing reliability and extending the loader’s working life.
