HIAB Crane Truck Hire in Sydney
Loading heavy freight in Sydney is the hard part. Not every pickup or delivery site has a forklift or a crew, and steel, machinery, concrete products and palletised building materials still need to get on and off the truck safely.
A HIAB solves that. It is a truck with its own hydraulic crane, so it loads and unloads itself. You do not need a forklift, a loading dock or extra labour on site - the truck arrives, the crane lifts your freight, and the driver places it exactly where it needs to go.

What can a HIAB truck lift? Our Sydney HIAB trucks handle heavy, awkward and palletised freight - steel, concrete products, machinery, crates and packaged building materials. Lifting capacity depends on the weight and how far the crane has to reach, so include your freight details in the quote and we'll match the right truck.
Which Sydney suburbs do you cover? We cover the whole Sydney metro area - the CBD and inner suburbs through to Western Sydney, Parramatta, the Hills District, Sutherland Shire, the Northern Beaches, and the Blacktown and Penrith industrial zones. If you are unsure about your address, enter it in the quote tool and it will confirm coverage.
Can I book a same-day HIAB in Sydney? Often yes, subject to truck availability at the time you book. Same-day and urgent jobs are easier to fit when you book early in the day, so get your quote in as soon as you know the details.
Do I need a HIAB or a Moffett? Use a HIAB when you need to lift freight up and over an obstacle, or place it precisely - like craning steel onto a site with no forklift. Use a Moffett truck-mounted forklift when freight needs to be driven off the truck and carried across ground to where it sits. Not sure? Tell us the site and we'll recommend the right one.
