About Hiab
Through groundbreaking technology and a pioneering spirit, we are revolutionizing on-road load handling at Hiab. For over 80 years, our history has been one of continuous innovation, from inventing the world's first hydraulic truck-mounted crane in 1947 to developing today's advanced, connected, and sustainable solutions. Our foundation, laid in Hudiksvall, Sweden, by ski manufacturer Eric Sundin, was built on the ingenious idea of using a truck's engine to power loader cranes with hydraulics. This single innovation transformed the cargo handling industry forever. Today, as a global leader, we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible. Our commitment is evident in our pioneering advancements in connectivity, data-driven services, electrification, and the use of virtual reality for training. These are not just technological buzzwords; they are tangible solutions designed to optimize efficiency, enhance safety, and drive sustainability for our customers across more than 100 countries.
At Hiab, our innovation is driven by a deep understanding of our customers' needs in essential industries like construction, transport, logistics, waste, and recycling. We are actively shaping the future of load handling with a portfolio of leading brands including HIAB, EFFER, and ARGOS loader cranes, MOFFETT and PRINCETON truck-mounted forklifts, and MULTILIFT demountables. We are at the forefront of the industry's shift towards electrification, offering electric cranes and truck-mounted forklifts that deliver the same high performance as their diesel counterparts but with zero emissions and silent operation, making them ideal for urban environments and night-time work. Our smart solutions, like the HiConnectâ„¢ telematics platform, provide customers with real-time data to manage their fleets, optimize workloads, and maximize uptime. This relentless focus on creating intelligent, safe, and sustainable technology ensures that we not only meet the demands of today but also build a better, more efficient tomorrow for our partners and society.
