Hiab Hire & Crane Trucks

The ultimate 2-in-1 solution. We lift it, load it, drive it, and place it. Save money by hiring one vehicle to do the job of a crane and a truck combined.

Lift and Move in One Go.

Why hire a transport truck and a separate crane? A Hiab (crane truck) does both. It has a crane mounted right on the back of the truck deck.


This is the most cost-effective way to move building materials, heavy machinery, and landscaping supplies. We can pick up your goods from the supplier, drive them to your site, and lift them directly onto the slab or over the fence.

What We Lift

Building Materials

Picking up timber packs, frames, and trusses from the merchant and placing them on your site.

Landscaping Supplies

Scaffolding

Transporting and lifting bundles of scaffolding gear for safe erection.

Why Choose Hiab Hire?

We are the team you call when you want it done right the first time. No confusing jargon, no hidden fees, and no “too hard” basket. Just honest work from a local family business that takes pride in solving your problems.

Save Money (2-in-1)

You only pay for one operator and one vehicle. No need to coordinate a truck meeting a crane at the site.

Direct Delivery

We can go straight to the supplier (e.g., PlaceMakers, ITM), load up your order, and deliver it directly to your building site.

Precision Placement

Unlike a tip truck that dumps everything in a pile, a Hiab lifts your materials off gently and places them neat and tidy.

Remote Control Operation

Our operators use remote controls, allowing them to stand right next to the load while lifting to ensure it doesn't hit anything.

Secure Loads, Safe Lifts

Transporting loads on the road adds an extra layer of risk. We take load security seriously.
