Frequently Asked Questions

There are some situations where HIAB crane hire may not be suitable, such as very restricted access areas where the vehicle cannot safely position, or loads that exceed safe lifting limits. In these cases, we need to review the details first and advise on the safest and most practical way to complete the job before any work is booked. Ground conditions can also affect whether a HIAB can operate safely, particularly on unstable or uneven surfaces. Certain lifts may require additional equipment or an alternative lifting solution, depending on the load size and site conditions.
