Heavy Duty Roofing Equipment - Roof Cranes - Forklifts - Hooklifts

There's no job too big or small for our heavy duty roofing equipment. From Roof cranes and forklifts to hooklifts, our equipment makes the job easier.

Roof Crane

Whether residential or commercial roofing, a HIAB roof crane is the most practical, adaptable, flexible, and cost effective tool for today’s roofing supplies market. Operators across North America have acclaimed HIAB HiPro cranes as the best cranes to handle the delivery of roofing materials.

Designed to have unparalleled speed and accuracy, these roofing cranes provide a vital and decisive edge in a highly competitive market. With a HIAB crane, shingles, isoboard, tar paper, commercial rolled roofing, steel decking, pea gravel, and other materials can be positioned precisely to various points on the roof or on the ground, even over parapet walls on flat roofed buildings and over ridges. With the versatility to place a load wherever it’s needed, HIAB roof cranes minimize the need for movement by hand, offering a big advantage for this industry.

Truck Mounted Roofing Forklifts

As the market leader in truck mounted forklifts for over 40 years, Hiab continually invests in industry research and product development with a philosophy of “machines for applications.” The MOFFETT truck mounted roofing forklift has long been the equipment of choice in roofing materials distribution. Traditionally, the MOFFETT has been used for ground drop deliveries of products such as shingles and insulation materials. As the industry expands to include a diverse range of exterior building products, the MOFFETT is being used to deliver everything from composite deck materials and skylights to boxed siding products which require curtain side trucks or trailers for protection during transport.

Additionally, with the emergence of metal products for both commercial and industrial building sectors, the MOFFETT 4-Way has the ability to carry long-length metal products and deliver them exactly where needed.

MultiLifts Hooklifts 

MULTILIFT hooklifts enable ultimate efficiency, speed, and reliability. MULTILIFT trucks are capable of exchanging bodies in 2 minutes or less. From open-top containers to dump bodies to flat beds, bodies can be left and/or exchanged on site, enabling works to seamlessly continue and the truck to remain available for other works. MULTILIFT hooklifts also allow for ground-level loading and unloading, bringing improved safety.

Designed and built with superior high-strength steel on a lightweight frame, payload is also maximized. MULTILIFT can, therefore, expand the competencies of your business without growing fleet size. With non-CDL and CDL options available, MULTILIFT increases productivity without jeopardizing safety and overhead costs, giving the competitive edge needed.

HiConnect Remote Connectivity

HIAB HiConnect™ is a web-based dashboard 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.

Image

HiPro Control System

The HiPro control system with Overload Protection (OLP) is standard on all K-Cranes and brings an unprecedented level of safety to operations without reducing performance. When approaching an overload condition, the crane gives an audible and visual signal at 90% and will stop all radius increasing functions once full capacity has been reached. Automatic Speed Control (ASC) reduces dynamic loading by progressively reducing the speed of the crane when the capacity is between 80% and 100%, preventing operators from performing unsafe, abrupt movements.
Image

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.

Image

Load Stability System

Load Stability System (LSS-V) provides smoother, more precise vertical boom motions. If an operator performs a hard stop while raising or lowering a load, the LSS-V system controls boom movement, minimizing the bouncing of the boom and load, while preventing load damage and unnecessary stress on the crane’s components. This feature works in the background to smooth out boom functions allowing for easier placement of the load, making deliveries faster and more efficient. By controlling boom movement and minimizing the bounce of the boom, the structural stress is reduced, thus increasing the expected service life of the crane.
Image

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.
Image

Semi Automatic Folding

Semi Automatic Folding (SAF) simplifies the stowing process reducing it to a single-lever operation, protecting the 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.
Image

CombiDrive3 Remote Control

The HIAB CombiDrive3 remote control increases efficiency by giving the operator freedom of movement to use the best possible position to view the load. It comes standard with a 100%, 70%, or 50% speed switch. This feature allows the operator to easily change the speed of the crane - especially useful when adjusting heavy loads at long outreaches. The HIAB CombiDrive3 remote control is reliable and worry-free industrial component designed to last the life of the crane.

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.

Image

Seat Belt Alarm

The seat belt drive-interlock system now has additional alarm options to improve operator safety. The machine is now fitted with alarms, which trigger if the seat belt is not fastened and/or if the side door is not closed in the correct order. The seat presence alarm system is designed to help ensure operators wear the seat belt properly by invoking a 15 second delay if the seatbelt is fastened before the operator enters the seat.
Image

Full Single-Side Off-Loading

Full capacity, single-side offloading is achieved using MOFFETT's Pantograph and patented Lift Assist System™ that allows the forks to reach completely across the deck of the truck or trailer and lift or place a full capacity load, while still maintaining the tilt and side shift functionality of the mast. This eliminates the need to move the truck and trailer from one side of the road to the other to complete the offloading process.
Image

Four Way Travel

Four way steering allows the forklift to operate safely in 4 directions: forward and back as well as left and right. This allows the operator to transport long loads in a much smaller space by carrying the load parallel to travel, eliminating the need to find alternate routes due to obstructions.
Image
