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.

The slewing mechanism is lubricated constantly in an oil bath, increasing reliability and extending the loader’s working life.
