HIAB Loader Cranes

HIAB is a leading brand known for producing the best loader cranes. In 1994, Eric Sundin founded Hydrauliska Industri AB, or HIAB, to revolutionize truck loading by using the truck's own engine and specialized hydraulics, eliminating the need for manual labor. Since then, HIAB has consistently made breakthroughs in the loader crane industry, including the development of the iconic ‘Elefant’ loader crane, which paved the way for the modern 'knuckle boom' crane.

For over 75years HIAB, HIAB has delivered excellence in on-road load handling equipment. Furthermore, HIAB continues to innovate and expand its capabilities, addressing a wide range of loading needs beyond loader cranes and ensuring ongoing success as they move into the next decade.
