HIAB Crane Truck Hire in Melbourne
The tricky part of moving heavy freight in Melbourne is getting it on and off the truck. Building sites, factories and delivery addresses do not always have a forklift or crew on hand, and steel, machinery and palletised materials still need loading and placing safely.
A HIAB carries its own hydraulic crane, so it loads and unloads itself. No forklift, no loading dock, no extra labour - the truck arrives, the crane does the lifting, and the driver sets your freight down exactly where you need it.

Can I book a same-day HIAB in Melbourne? Often yes, depending on truck availability when you book. Booking early in the day gives the best chance of fitting same-day and urgent jobs, so get your quote in as soon as you have the details.
Do I need a HIAB or a Moffett? Choose a HIAB when freight needs to be lifted up and over something or placed precisely - like craning materials onto a site with no forklift. Choose a Moffett truck-mounted forklift when freight needs to be driven off the truck and carried across ground. Unsure? Describe the site and we'll advise.
