The HIAB T-009 is the smallest in the range, while the HIAB T-018 is a popular size for many different operations. Built to be easily mounted on light trucks, the cranes are used in a variety of applications where loading and unloading of equipment and material is required close to a workplace.
The cranes have a number of features that enhance quality and operation, such as a cast base that is durable and sealed to help maintain the quality of the lubricant. The cranes are painted using the high-tech nDurance painting process.
The T-Series cranes can be operated on electricity alone, which limits noise in operation and reduces fuel consumption. The power pack is charged whenever the truck engine is running. The SmartControl remote control system adds safety and enables simultaneous crane movements, in addition to providing high precision for manoeuvring and positioning goods for operators who want flexibility and total control.
