Three HIAB lorry loader combinations, each built for a different tier of work. From light and agile on urban sites to full drawbar capacity for the heaviest lifts.

Our most agile combination. The 6-wheel rigid keeps the vehicle footprint compact, making it the right choice whenever site access, road width, or turning radius is a limiting factor. At 27tm, the crane delivers real lifting capability without the bulk of a larger combination.
This is the vehicle for residential jobs, urban streets, confined contractor yards, and any site where getting in and out cleanly is as important as the lift itself.

The mid-class combination accounts for the majority of our work. The 8-wheel configuration provides better ground stability and load-carrying capacity than the 6-wheeler, while remaining practical for most construction site and commercial yard access.
At 40tm, the crane sits comfortably in the upper range of typical lorry loader work - able to handle site cabins, medium plant machinery, full-size 40ft containers, and structural elements without limitation.

The flagship. Our 8-wheel + drawbar combination at 44T GVW carries the 66tm crane - the most powerful in our fleet. The drawbar trailer adds payload capacity, meaning the vehicle can transport significant loads alongside the crane, reducing the need for a separate flat-bed on many jobs.
This combination is built for heavy industrial, energy sector, and large-scale construction work. When standard lorry loaders aren't up to the task, this is what you call.
