    Hiab is currently exhibiting its lineup of load-handling equipment and service offerings at the 2018 Internationale Automobil Ausstellung (IAA) in Hannover, Germany.

    Crowd Pleasers

    Attendees making their way to pavilion P35 in outdoor area FG L66 are getting a first-hand look at Hiab’s latest light loader cranes, the MULTILIFT big hooklifts line, new building materials cranes, the Hiab bucket kit with Bucket cradle and Rapid Lock System, and a new container-handling unit, the MULTILIFT Commander. The company is also letting show attendees kick the tires of the MOFFETT M5 NX truck-mounted forklift, ZEPRO and DEL tail lifts, and the updated JONSERED 1620RZ heavy-duty recycling crane.

    Those who stop by get information about a handful of the newest features the company is bundling with its latest machines, including the Hiab Crane Tip Control (CTC), Hiab FrameWorks, and MultiBeam. The company’s alternative-powered lift equipment is on hand for visitors to explore, including the electric power take off (ePTO) crane and the electric MOFFETT range, which are zero-emission machines that can even be safely operated indoors. Hiab also has experts at the show available to give customers a brief walkthrough of the benefits of HiConnect, Hiab’s new connectivity service designed to provide you with critical insights about your equipment to maximize uptime and productivity.

    Crowning A Champ

    At the show, Hiab plans to choose the best Hiab X-HiPro 232 loader crane operator from among a series of 15 pre-qualified experts who have already proven adept at operating the CTC-equipped supertruck.
