Scrap Material Handling Equipment

A scrap material handler is a heavy-duty material handler. The process of scrap involves recovering metals and non-metallic materials for recycling. Unlike waste, scrap has monetary value. Handling scrap requires a vehicle that is specifically designed to deal with the harsh conditions and materials associated with it.

Scrap Material Handlers

HIAB scrap handlers are globally acclaimed as the loader of choice for company owners and operators. Rugged and reliable, HIAB scrap handler loaders offer the durability and speed needed for scrap handling operations and bring an unprecedented level of safety and controllability for operators with lower total cost of ownership to fleets. With multiple model configurations to choose from, an array of attachment options and a variety of mounting configurations Hiab are able to offer a more specific solution to meet the demanding needs and safety requirements of any scrap handling task.

MULTILIFT Hooklifts

MULTILIFT hooklifts can handle all scrap material with ultimate efficiency, speed, and reliability. Designed and built with superior high-strength steel on a lightweight frame, the daily payload is maximized, which is critical to this industry. MULTILIFT trucks are capable of exchanging bodies in 2 minutes or less. Bodies can be left and/or exchanged on site, enabling works to seamlessly continue and the truck to remain available for other works. MULTILIFT can, therefore, expand the competencies of your business without growing fleet size.

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.
Image

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.
