70 Hiabs for Marshalls

UK-based landscaping materials manufacturer Marshalls has taken delivery of 70 Hiab loader cranes for its fleet.

The order includes 55 units of the 099RE-1 Hi Pro Roll loader cranes and 15 122BS-2 Hi Duo Draw Bar loader crane which will replace around 80 percent of the company’s fleet.

The new Hiabs, which will be fitted to vehicles supplied by leasing companies Contract Vehicles and Ryder, have been fitted with Hiab's Operator Protector System and they can be remotely controlled from both the ground and a raised standing platform fitted to the crane. The company said its drivers particularly like the ease-of-use, responsiveness, and precision of the radio remote control.

Guy Ripley, regional logistics and fleet manager at Marshalls, said: "A lightweight but high capacity crane is crucial to us because we need to maximise the payload on the delivery vehicle, without sacrificing the crane's performance."

"Our Hiab cranes meet the variety of challenging unloading situations we encounter when delivering to builders' merchants, building sites, and residential properties. They are durable and reliable, and the service support is robust. Hiab provides one of the best back-up services across both the UK and Western Europe."
