The Lorry Mounted Hydraulic Loader, commonly known as a HIAB (a manufacturer’s name), is mounted on the platform or chassis of a vehicle and is operated by the driver to load and unload goods. HIAB cranes are often used in challenging environments like construction sites or where no other means of unloading is available. The crane may be fitted with various attachments, including hooks, clamps, or buckets, and is typically operated using hydraulic levers or a remote-control unit.

Kent Forklift Training offers training on all types of HIAB cranes.
