MULTILIFT Talon is your in-cabin powerhouse, redefining Container handling in the toughest of
conditions without sacrificing Flatrack performance. Developed from battle-proven technology, it represents Hiab's new generation of Defense Load Handling Systems. This system combines the functionality of in-service products with the latest advancements in automation and technology.
Decades in defence
With over 60 years’ experience in hydraulic load handling equipment, Hiab is a stable, yet innovative leader in load handling solutions for the ever-changing logistics environment. Hiab Government Business Operations, founded in 1976, is dedicated exclusively for the defence sector. As part of the large, financially secure Cargotec, we offer resources, experience and stability for long-term procurement that’s vital for successful defence programmes worldwide.
Pioneering the future today
Backed by significant investment in R&D, we’re working to push the boundaries of logistics and load handling forward together with our partners. For example, our HiVision camera technology is pioneering autonomous operation. Using Virtual Reality goggles, controllers and connected cameras, you gain more precise operation, save time, increase safety and lower logistics costs.
Fit-for-purpose design
We believe user needs are the key drivers for any technical innovation. Responsiveness guides our design and manufacturing to ensure every solution is fit-for-purpose. Experience and regular feedback from the end user enable us to facilitate new designs and adapt existing products to handle almost any defence payload application. Coupled with unwavering quality, these practical designs ensure you can handle any extreme or combination of stresses, climate and terrain.

Long-term partner in defence
Any defence operation needs a good logistics system behind it to keep it supplied and to enable sustained high-performance in action. Hiab Government Business Operations has been supporting defence forces for over three decades, and the global requirement for Hiab load handling systems in defence logistics has grown by tenfold from its inauguration in the mid 1980s. To date, Hiab Government Business Operations has supplied over 40,000 defence products for forces worldwide, providing flexible and highly effective logistics support.
Diverse range of defence-grade solutions
Today's payloads are as diverse as human imagination can conceive. Hiab Government Business Operations specialise in effective, compliant solutions to match any need – from manoeuvres to deployment to meeting the challenges of the last tactical mile. With our rough-terrain forklifts, hooklift concepts, cranes and more, you have a range of capacities for any suitable prime mover, subject to engineering interfaces.
Leading-edge vision technology
As pioneers in load handling, we believe the best way to shape the future is together with customers, answering real-world challenges. Our award-winning HiVision™ connected system is our latest answer. Incorporating Virtual Reality goggles, controllers, and connected cameras, you gain more precision, savings and safety while opening new possibilities for autonomous operation.
Simplifying operations in high-stress conditions
We understand that every moment and movement saved is an advantage out in the field. That’s why our cranes have the option for Crane Tip Control (CTC) so you can move the crane tip quickly and precisely with minimal effort. The computer selects the ideal path from one point to another so you can focus on your load instead of on your crane’s motion.
Pushing logistical advantage further
As global interoperability becomes a key operational requirement, the hooklift concept is recognised as the most cost-effective way to provide fast, flexible frontline logistic support. Standardised flat-rack capabilities allow our MULTILIFT hooklifts to carry and switch between multiple payloads such as artillery ammunition, water, fuel, shelters and ISO containers – an advantage proven in United Nations humanitarian support missions and major conflicts worldwide.

HiVision for cranes lets the operator control the crane from the safety of the truck cabin, using Virtual Reality goggles, controllers, and connected cameras. Proven in everyday tough practice by customers, HiVision provides precise operation, saves time, and increases comfort and safety.
Hiab crane operator training systems
Training loader crane operators can be a costly business. The hands-on operator training burns a lot of truck fuel and adds hundreds of extra running hours to the truck engine. Early steps in the crane operation tie down training personnel and mistakes do happen in spite of a closely guided approach. Cranes are hydraulically powered so damage to the kit is inevitable and often costly.
Hiab Operator Training rigs have been developed to remove these wasteful elements of operator training. Using augmented reality, the crane operator can learn to operate the controls system and operating lever sequence with total confidence. Skills are taught and practiced via a digital image of the crane rather than the real thing – saving fuel, the engine and nerves. If things go wrong, nothing gets broken. Only when the novice operator feels confident enough to operate the real thing, will he or she be able to start the truck engine and operate the loader.
