New and Used HIAB Crane Trucks

MV Commercial supplies new, used and late-registration HIAB crane trucks for customers across the UK.

Our stock can include Ready to Go HIAB crane vehicles, ex-hire crane trucks, part exchange vehicles and bespoke builds prepared through our own specialist vehicle manufacturing operation. This gives customers a practical route to the right crane vehicle, whether they need immediate availability, a cost-effective used truck or a fully specified new build.

A HIAB crane truck is a strong choice for operators that need to move heavy, awkward or high-value loads without relying on separate lifting equipment at site. These trucks are commonly used for bricks, blocks, timber, steel, cabins, containers, plant, machinery, utilities equipment, roofing materials, construction products, precast concrete and specialist loads.

MV Commercial can supply HIAB crane trucks on leading chassis from manufacturers including DAF, Scania, Volvo, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Iveco and Renault Trucks, depending on stock, build requirements and customer preference.

HIAB Crane Truck Hire

If buying outright is not the right option, MV Commercial offers flexible HIAB crane truck hire across the UK.

HIAB crane truck hire is ideal for businesses that need additional lifting capacity without committing to an immediate purchase. It can support short-term projects, contract mobilisation, seasonal demand, replacement vehicle cover, new site work, builders’ merchant deliveries, infrastructure projects and specialist lift-and-shift jobs.

Hire can also be a useful way to trial a crane, chassis or body specification before investing in a permanent fleet vehicle. If you are not sure whether your operation needs a crane rigid, crane artic, brick grab, cabin spec vehicle or beavertail crane truck, hiring can help prove the specification in real working conditions.

MV Commercial can support short-term hire, long-term rental, contract hire, lease and rent-to-buy options depending on your commercial requirements.

HIAB Crane Trucks for Sale

MV Commercial supplies HIAB crane trucks for sale, including new, used, ex-hire, late-registration and bespoke-built vehicles.

Buying a HIAB crane truck can be the right route if your business needs long-term lifting capacity, predictable availability and a vehicle built around your own operating standards. A purchased crane truck can be specified with the correct chassis, body, crane model, stabiliser arrangement, payload requirement, storage, safety equipment, paint, livery and compliance features.

For many operators, a HIAB crane truck is a core productivity asset. It can reduce reliance on third-party lifting equipment, improve site flexibility and allow your own team to collect, deliver and place loads more efficiently.

HIAB Crane Models Fitted by MV Commercial

MV Commercial fits a wide range of HIAB cranes across rigid and articulated vehicles.

Our HIAB crane range includes models such as the HIAB XS 322 EP-4 HiDuo, X-HiPro 418 EP-5, X-HiPro 558 E5, X-HiPro 658 EP-6, X-HiPro 858 EP-6 and X-HiPro 1058 E-6. We can also fit several jib options for operators that need additional reach, height and placement flexibility.

For lighter lifting work, MV Commercial fits HIAB cranes to brick grab trucks, including HIAB 118 and HIAB 158 models. These are ideal for builders’ merchants, construction suppliers and fleets that need to deliver bricks, blocks, kerbs, slabs, paving, fencing, timber and palletised building materials.

The right HIAB crane depends on what you need to lift, where you need to place it, how much outreach is required, how much payload must be retained and which chassis and body type best suits the operation.

HIAB X-HiDuo 118 Brick Grab Trucks

The HIAB X-HiDuo 118 is a popular option for lighter brick grab and builders’ merchant vehicles.

This crane is well suited to operators that need practical lifting capability, reliable remote control and efficient day-to-day operation without moving into a heavy crane class. On a brick grab truck, the HIAB 118 can support local and regional delivery work for construction suppliers, builders’ merchants and material handling fleets.

A HIAB 118 brick grab truck is suitable for moving bricks, blocks, slabs, kerbs, paving, bagged materials, timber, fencing products and other palletised construction materials. It gives operators the ability to deliver directly to site and place materials where they are needed, improving service levels and reducing reliance on site equipment.

HIAB X-HiDuo 158 Crane Trucks

The HIAB X-HiDuo 158 is a strong option for larger builders’ merchant vehicles and medium-duty crane truck applications.

A HIAB 158 crane truck gives operators more lifting capacity and outreach than smaller brick grab cranes while still preserving a practical vehicle body and payload. It is commonly suited to 18 tonne and 26 tonne builders’ merchant trucks, construction supply vehicles and crane rigids used for heavier palletised materials.

This type of crane is particularly useful for mixed delivery work where a vehicle may need to carry different materials throughout the week. Bricks, blocks, timber, paving, landscaping products, roofing materials and construction supplies can all be handled more efficiently when the truck has the correct crane and body specification.

HIAB XS 322 and X-HiPro 418 Crane Trucks

For medium-duty crane truck work, MV Commercial fits HIAB XS 322 EP-4 HiDuo and X-HiPro 418 EP-5 crane options.

These cranes are suited to operators that need more lifting capability than a lighter brick grab crane but do not necessarily require one of the largest heavy-duty models. They are a strong fit for construction material deliveries, builders’ merchants, steel and timber movement, plant support, utilities, infrastructure projects and site delivery work.

A HIAB X-HiPro 418 crane truck can work well as a crane rigid, plant truck, beavertail, cabin spec vehicle or specialist delivery truck. It gives operators a useful balance of lifting power, reach, control and body usability.

HIAB X-HiPro 558 Crane Trucks

The HIAB X-HiPro 558 is a heavy-segment loader crane for operators that need serious lifting capability while still retaining practical vehicle usability.

A HIAB X-HiPro 558 crane truck is suitable for heavier construction materials, cabins, steel, timber, plant, machinery, utilities equipment and specialist site deliveries. It can be configured on suitable rigid vehicles or specialist body types depending on the required payload, body length, stabiliser arrangement and working environment.

For operators that need a high-performance crane without immediately stepping into the largest crane classes, the HIAB 558 can provide a productive balance of lifting capability, body space and day-to-day flexibility.

HIAB X-HiPro 658 Crane Trucks

The HIAB X-HiPro 658 is a heavy crane option for operators who need greater lifting performance, reach and control.

This crane is suitable for demanding work across construction, infrastructure, utilities, plant hire, cabin transport, steel, timber and specialist haulage. It can be specified for heavy crane rigids, cabin spec trucks, plant trucks, beavertails and other specialist vehicles where lifting capability is a key part of the operation.

A HIAB X-HiPro 658 crane truck is well suited to heavy construction materials, plant and machinery movement, cabin and container handling, steel and timber delivery, utilities work and site placement where control and stability matter.

View our range of crane rigids, cabin spec trucks and beavertail trucks.

HIAB X-HiPro 858 Crane Trucks

The HIAB X-HiPro 858 is one of HIAB’s heavy crane options and is fitted by MV Commercial for demanding lifting applications.

A HIAB X-HiPro 858 crane truck is designed for operators that need high-capacity lifting, strong reach and excellent control in challenging environments. It is suited to heavy lift applications where the truck must move and place bulky or difficult loads with accuracy.

Typical uses include steelwork, cabins, containers, plant, precast concrete, industrial equipment, construction materials, utilities equipment and specialist haulage. When specified with the right chassis, body and stabiliser layout, a HIAB 858 crane truck can provide a powerful all-in-one transport and lifting solution.

HIAB X-HiPro 1058 Crane Trucks

The HIAB X-HiPro 1058 is one of HIAB’s highest-capacity loader crane options and is fitted by MV Commercial for specialist heavy-duty crane truck applications.

This crane is suitable for operators who need very high lifting performance in a truck-mounted package. It is a strong option for heavy crane artics, large crane rigids, specialist lift-and-shift vehicles, industrial lifting, cabin transport, steel movement and complex site placement.

A HIAB X-HiPro 1058 crane truck can help operators take on demanding work where lifting capacity, outreach and control are critical. For businesses that regularly move heavy or awkward loads, this level of crane capability can reduce dependence on separate lifting equipment and improve operational flexibility.

 

HIAB Fly Jib Crane Trucks

MV Commercial can supply HIAB crane trucks with jib options for operators who need additional reach, height and placement flexibility.

A HIAB fly jib crane truck can help place loads over obstacles, onto upper floors, behind barriers, across restricted access points or into awkward site locations. This makes fly jib crane vehicles particularly useful for roof trusses, timber frames, steelwork, cabins, containers, telecoms equipment, utilities infrastructure and construction materials.

Fly jib capability is often valuable on city-centre sites, constrained construction projects, industrial facilities and infrastructure jobs where conventional unloading is not practical. MV Commercial can help specify the right crane and jib combination based on the loads, reach and working conditions involved.

HIAB Crane Artics

A HIAB crane artic combines the payload and flexibility of an articulated vehicle with the self-loading capability of a HIAB loader crane.

These vehicles are ideal for operators that need long-distance transport, larger load capacity and independent loading and unloading at site. A HIAB crane artic can be used for steel, timber, plant, cabins, containers, precast products, utilities equipment, building materials and specialist haulage.

MV Commercial can build HIAB crane artics on leading tractor unit chassis, with crane, trailer and body specifications designed around the work required. The result is a high-capacity transport solution that can reduce reliance on forklifts, telehandlers or mobile cranes at delivery points.

HIAB Crane Rigids

A HIAB crane rigid is a strong choice for operators that need a self-contained crane truck without the length of an articulated combination.

Rigid HIAB trucks are practical for local and regional deliveries, construction supply work, utilities, plant transport, cabin delivery, builders’ merchant operations and restricted site access. They can be specified with flatbed, dropside, plant body, beavertail, cheesewedge, cabin spec or brick grab bodywork depending on the application.

For operators working on multi-drop routes or in tighter delivery environments, a HIAB crane rigid can provide a useful balance of manoeuvrability, lifting power and body capacity.

HIAB Brick Grab Trucks

HIAB brick grab trucks are a popular option for builders’ merchants, construction suppliers and fleets delivering palletised building materials.

A brick grab truck fitted with a HIAB crane allows operators to deliver materials directly to site and place them efficiently. This is particularly useful for bricks, blocks, kerbs, slabs, paving, fencing, timber, bagged aggregates and other construction products.

MV Commercial can supply HIAB brick grab trucks for sale, hire, lease and rent-to-buy, with 18 tonne and 26 tonne options available depending on stock and specification.

HIAB Crane Trucks for Plant and Machinery

HIAB crane trucks are widely used for plant hire, machinery movement and construction support.

When paired with the right body type, a HIAB crane can help operators move excavator attachments, compact plant, generators, compressors, site equipment, welfare units and machinery. The correct specification can reduce manual handling, improve site efficiency and give operators more control over loading and unloading.

MV Commercial can fit HIAB cranes to plant trucks, beavertail trucks, hydraulic beavertails and cheesewedge trucks, depending on the type of equipment being transported.

HIAB MULTILIFT Hookloaders and Skiploaders

Alongside HIAB loader cranes, MV Commercial also supplies hookloaders and skip loaders, including MULTILIFT equipment options.

Hookloaders and skiploaders are widely used in waste, recycling, construction, infrastructure and local authority work. Hookloaders are ideal for larger containers and roll-on/roll-off applications, while skiploaders are designed for collecting, delivering and exchanging skips.

Operators looking at HIAB crane trucks may also need related hookloader, skip loader, tipper or grab lorry options depending on their fleet requirements.

View our range of hookloaders, skip loaders, tipper trucks and grab lorries.

Chassis Options for HIAB Crane Trucks

MV Commercial fits HIAB cranes to proven chassis from leading manufacturers including DAF, Scania, Volvo, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Iveco and Renault Trucks.

The right chassis depends on the crane model, body type, payload, axle configuration, stabiliser layout and operating environment. A compact HIAB brick grab has different requirements from a heavy HIAB crane artic, while a 32 tonne crane rigid needs a different build approach from a 44 tonne articulated crane vehicle.

DAF chassis are often chosen for practical fleet performance and bodybuilder compatibility. Scania chassis are popular with operators that value driver appeal, road presence and heavy-duty performance. Volvo chassis are commonly selected for demanding applications where comfort, safety and strength are important. MAN and Mercedes-Benz options may also suit specific fleet requirements depending on stock and build specification.

MV Commercial can help specify the correct chassis, crane and body combination based on the work the vehicle needs to perform.

Body Options and Customisation

HIAB cranes can be fitted across a wide range of MV Commercial vehicle bodies.

Popular body options include crane rigids, crane artics, brick grab trucks, plant trucks, cabin spec trucks, beavertail trucks, cheesewedge trucks, hydraulic beavertails and dropside and flatbed trucks.

Customisation options can include body layout, sub-chassis design, stabiliser position, toolboxes, chain storage, load restraint, fall protection, camera systems, side scan systems, reverse cameras, lighting, beacons, paint, livery, Chapter 8 markings, FORS equipment and Crossrail compliance options.

This allows customers to take delivery of a HIAB crane truck that is ready for the job, ready for the driver and ready to represent their business.

Built by MV Commercial

MV Commercial is more than a truck supplier. We design, engineer, build and finish specialist commercial vehicles in-house, including HIAB crane trucks.

Our in-house capability supports chassis sourcing, sub-chassis fabrication, body building, crane installation, stabiliser integration, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, lighting, safety equipment, paint, livery and final preparation.

This matters because a HIAB crane truck must work as a complete system. Crane size, chassis selection, body layout, payload, stabiliser configuration and operating environment all need to be considered together. A crane that performs well on paper still needs to be mounted correctly, balanced properly and integrated with the right body and chassis.

By managing more of the build process in-house, MV Commercial can supply HIAB crane trucks that are practical, compliant and built around real customer work.

Safety, Compliance and Control Systems

MV Commercial can specify HIAB crane vehicles with practical safety and compliance equipment to support UK site, fleet and road requirements.

Options can include remote crane controls, stabiliser systems, camera systems, side scan equipment, reverse cameras, audible warning systems, beacons, LED work lights, Chapter 8 markings, fall protection, load restraint, toolboxes, chain storage and Euro 6 chassis options.

Depending on crane model and specification, HIAB features such as HiDuo, HiPro, VSL PLUS, Load Stability System functions, Automatic Speed Control and Automatic Duty Control can support smoother, safer and more controlled lifting.

For operators working on major construction sites, infrastructure contracts, city-centre projects or FORS and Crossrail-controlled work, the right safety equipment is essential.

HIAB Crane Maintenance and Support

MV Commercial supports HIAB crane trucks with nationwide maintenance and repair capability.

Our mobile technicians and crane support teams can help with crane servicing, hydraulic diagnostics, electrical fault finding, stabiliser checks, remote control support, LOLER support, body repairs, parts support, scheduled maintenance and workshop repairs.

For businesses that rely on crane trucks every day, aftersales support is a critical part of the vehicle package. Downtime can affect deliveries, site programmes, customer commitments and revenue. MV Commercial’s support is designed to help reduce downtime and keep vehicles earning.

HIAB Crane Truck Finance

Through MV Asset Finance, MV Commercial can support funding options for new and used HIAB crane trucks.

Finance can help operators spread the cost of a high-value crane vehicle while preserving working capital. Depending on your requirements, options may include hire purchase, finance lease, operating lease, contract hire, rent-to-buy and tailored payment structures.

Finance can support new HIAB crane truck purchases, used crane trucks, fleet expansion, replacement vehicles, contract mobilisation, crane upgrades and multi-vehicle orders.

Whether you need a single HIAB crane truck or a full fleet of crane vehicles, MV Commercial can help match the right truck to the right funding route.

Popular Applications for HIAB Crane Trucks

HIAB crane trucks are used across construction, builders’ merchants, infrastructure, utilities, plant hire, cabin transport, steel, timber, specialist haulage, waste and groundworks.

Typical loads include bricks, blocks, timber packs, steel beams, precast concrete, cabins, containers, machinery, plant, utilities equipment, roofing materials, fencing products, palletised goods and other difficult-to-handle materials.

For operators who need a vehicle that can transport and lift without relying on separate site equipment, a HIAB crane truck can increase flexibility, reduce downtime and improve productivity.
