HIAB hire
HIAB crane hire
HIAB-equipped vehicles let you transport and lift in one move — often without booking a separate lifting contractor. R & O Punchard provides HIAB crane hire for tight-access placements, site deliveries and controlled loader crane work nationwide.
Transport and lift together
Loader crane hire suits jobs where materials, plant or equipment need to arrive and be placed in one operation. That is especially useful on tight-access sites, rooftops and locations where a separate mobile crane is impractical.
Our operators plan awkward placements properly before wheels turn — so the lift method matches access, reach and the load itself.
Typical HIAB work
- Generators and plant placement
- Containers and portable cabins
- Building materials and steel
- Tight-access and urban sites
- On-site loading and unloading
- Combined haulage and lifting
