NEW HIAB MODELS LAUNCHED
Londonderry Garage is the main dealer throughout the North East for Hiab, the global market leader in on-road load handling solutions. Maintaining its enviable reputation for product development, Hiab has recently unveiled several exciting new products for the UK market.

The Hiab XS 1055 is the most powerful crane in its class and gives users the longest reach and highest capacity of any Hiab. Outreach and flexibility are the distinguishing features of this crane which is available with up to ten hydraulic extensions giving a total reach of some 24 metres where it can still lift 2.5 tonnes. Combined with the hydraulically-operated jib 145X-5, operators are able to handle heavy goods in extremely confined spaces with a lifting capacity of 1240kg at an outreach of 29 metres.

The Hiab XS 855 is a new loader crane with a capacity of 80 tonne metre and features which include ten hydraulic extensions.

"The XS 855 increases speed by over 30% and boosts productivity by more than 20%," said Charles Pugh, Londonderry's product manager for Hiab. "This model is now available in the UK where customers are certain to appreciate its long outreach and vertical high performance."

Hiab has also added two new models - the 322R and 377R - to its self-propelled loader crane range. Delivering more lift capacity at up to 25% less weight, allows these cranes to load both heavier and more goods at a lower cost. Ideal for handling goods such as pre-cast concrete slabs and road barriers, the cranes' mobility has been enhanced whilst other benefits include a faster loading cycle and a more compact design.

Finally, there are the new Hiab XS MEWP (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) - the first products of their kind in the world to be fully compliant with the latest EU-standard EN 280 covering the lifting of personnel baskets.

In an increasing number of countries, it is no longer possible to get a traditional truck-mounted crane approved for elevating work platforms. But by fitting a key switch to the control system with the new HIAB XS and turning it to MEWP, a truck-mounted crane is quickly converted into a machine that elevates working platforms.

In addition to handling goods such as pallets, building materials and heavy equipment, operators can now perform completely different types of tasks such as bridge inspections, trimming trees and street light and power line maintenance.
