HiPro Control System
Variable Stability Limit
HIAB’s Variable Stability Limit system (VSL) monitors the truck’s stability by registering the extension of stabilizers and monitoring the pressures at each leg to determine the maximum safe capacity of the crane, allowing for higher capacities in situations where the legs are not able to be fully extended. VSL and VSL Plus are available on all Hiab K-HiPro cranes (285, 425 and 505) with VSL Plus available for the 505, which compensates for the weight of the load on the truck, offering even greater lifting capacities, increasing the efficiency of any business.

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.
