If you’re looking for something a little more specialist, fear not, we can help!
HIAB - Lorry Mounted Crane
HIABs are lorry-mounted cranes, used for offloading heavier & larger items from flatbed trucks. The use for these varies, but includes shipments such as containers, hot tubs, farm equipment.
Moffett / Manitou – Lorry Mounted Forklifts
A moffett or manitou is a lorry-mounted forklift truck. This means the lorry driver has the facility to load or offload themselves. We often supply these where a collection or delivery point does not have the facilities to offload, such as a building sites.
