Load Handling Equipment
Knuckle-Boom Cranes
Operators throughout North America have acclaimed HIAB Cranes as the best truck mounted cranes on the market. HIAB cranes have been designed and built from the ground up to provide low crane weight, high lifting capacities with the best load handling characteristics & safety in their class. HIAB’s next generation cranes perfectly cover today’s load handling delivery requirements. With a variety of models designed specifically to meet the wide range of requirements regarding truck classes, payloads and industry specifics, HIAB knuckle boom cranes provide the ultimate solution. Mounted behind the cab or on the rear, the unique fold-away design does not take up valuable payload space, maximizing the delivery vehicle utilization. Hiab Cranes provide a safer, more versatile and more efficient load handling solution.
Truck-Mounted Forklifts
The MOFFETT is a powerful, all-wheel drive, truck mounted forklift specifically designed for efficient operations. Transported on the rear of straight trucks or trailers a Moffett can be mounted or dismounted in less than a minute. At the delivery site, the driver has the ability to quickly unload the vehicle, travel over rough terrain or across developed landscape and work with up to 8000lbs capacity. When it comes to ensuring a smooth and efficient implementation of deliveries, the MOFFETT lets your driver safely do more in less time.
Knuckle Boom Crane Features
HiConnect
Hiab HiConnect™ is a web-based dashboard for medium duty cranes that displays insights on equipment usage, location, time in operation, idle time, and productivity level. By enabling new insights, it helps you to further increase efficiency, productivity, and safety. HiConnect is the latest technology in terms of connectivity capabilities. Being able to remotely access data is key to maximizing your business with facts instead of assumptions. HiConnect maintains constant contact with all units, giving fleet managers the ability to stop unsafe behavior and usage before an incident happens. With the ability to view service history and plan upcoming services, your fleet has minimum downtime and increases daily efficiencies.
HiDuo Control System
The HiDuo control system with XSDrive remote control brings an unprecedented level of safety to operations without reducing performance. This highly flexible system will make your business safer and more profitable with all electronic functions, managed by our SPACE system, which includes Overload Protection (OLP) and Automatic Duty Control (ADC). When approaching an overload condition, the medium crane gives an audible and visual signal at 90% capacity and will stop all radius increasing functions once full capacity has been reached.
XS Drive
The HIAB XSDrive remote control increases efficiency by giving the operator freedom of movement to use the best possible position to view the load. It features two-way communication with the medium duty crane, proportionally controlling movements. The HIAB XSDrive remote control is reliable and worry-free industrial component designed to last the life of the crane.

Semi Automatic Folding
Semi Automatic Folding (SAF) simplifies the stowing process reducing it to a single-lever operation, protecting the medium range crane and the truck from damage. It allows a single lever operation to fold and unfold the crane, while activating just one lever, which greatly simplifies this frequent routine operating task.
Crane Tip Control
Crane Tip Control (CTC) is an optional feature available for the 285 and 425 cranes. It allows the crane’s controls to be controlled by three levers – the horizontal extension from the truck, the vertical lift, and the rotation of the crane. CTC provides a simplified operation, reducing training time when onboarding new operators, while allowing operators to perform complex techniques safely and efficiently.
Truck Mounted Forklift Features
Remote Ground Mount
Remote Ground Mount (RGM) allows the operator to completely mount or dismount the MOFFETT without the need to climb onto or off of an elevated forklift. With up to a 25' range, the wireless remote control allows the operator to stand away from the machine and traffic during the mounting and dismounting process. This means staying out of the line of traffic or other jobsite hazards while giving optimal visibility during the mounting/dismounting process.
