HIAB Drywall Cranes - K-Cranes

The HIAB K-HiPro Crane range has been specifically designed for handling drywall materials, while optimizing the truck's payload due to its light weight design. Delivering excellent lifting capacity and fast load-cycles with close-in reach and hydraulic forks ideal for this type of use. With our industry leading, cutting edge HiPro technology, such as Crane Tip Control (CTC), Load Stability System (LSS-V), Variable Stability Logic (VSL),CombiDrive remote control, V200 Hydraulics and Space X4 control systems, crane performance is optimized and operation is simplified. Resulting in a faster, smoother, safer, more efficient and more durable crane.

Our special nDurance paint protection finish further contributes to making the drywall crane look and last longer. HIAB K-Cranes provide you with premium quality and full control over the toughest jobs to be done.

K-Crane Features

Image

HiConnect

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

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

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.
