Standard & Optional features

nDurance

Constantly exposed to the elements, your crane needs the best in surface protection. HIAB nDurance is the industry’s most effective high-tech painting system, with a technologically advanced and environmentally sound process based on nanotechnology and e-coating. Your crane’s parts are first shielded by an ultra-thin nanoceramic layer that prevents corrosion. Afterwards they receive a lacquer polymer e-coating and a durable powder coating, which create stunning good looks that will last your crane’s lifetime.

Semi-Automatic Folding (SAF)

Semi-Automatic Folding (SAF) is a feature that allows the operator to fold and unfold the boom system in one single sequence, using only one lever. SAF is available both for XSDrive 6 levers and for XSDrive joystick controllers. The folding and unfolding is operated to/from normal folded position (Napoleon folding). It is one, fixed sequence of movements. The operator decides the speed of the movements adjusting the lever stroke.

Load Stability System for vertical movements (LSS-V)

LSS automatically compensates for unintentionally excessive lever moment in vertical operations. This makes crane operation faster and smoother and helps protect the cargo, the vehicle and the work environment in the vicinity of the crane against potential damage.

Integrated Safety Platform

With the HIAB Bucket Kit for Tipper Trucks, crane operators can work both efficiently and safely. An integrated control platform provides the optimal perspective for digging and filling work, while built-in guard beams keep the operator protected at all times.

Load Stability System for horizontal movements (LSS-H)

LSS automatically compensates for unintentionally excessive lever moment in horizontal operations. This makes crane operation faster and smoother and helps protect the cargo, the vehicle and the work environment in the vicinity of the crane against potential damage.

ASC – Automatic Speed Control

ASC gives a step less increase in lifting capacity of up to 10%, all in one smooth, continuous motion. This feature, unique to Hiab, engages automatically, which means that the operator does not feel or notice a thing. The function activates as you reach the regular capacity limit, meaning that you can still lift the load where other cranes would have come to a complete stop. To compensate for the capacity boost, the speed of the inner and outer boom is slightly reduced. Capacity ceiling, safety and efficiency are significantly increased by this feature.

Two-year warranty

HIAB loader cranes are built to perform, with strong materials and a quality of workmanship no other supplier can match. And because we build them with care, we stand behind them with confidence. Today all HIAB cranes come with a two-year standard warranty that applies to all components. Not only does it cover the parts you expect, it also covers the following wear parts: • Painting • Seals (both internal and external) • Flexible hoses

Connectivity

Our equipment comes connectivity enabled. Connectivity, in combination with our connected services, allows you to be in constant contact with equipment, assets and people to enhance the productivity, efficiency and safety of your business.

ADC – Automatic Duty Control

Hiab’s unique and patented Automatic Duty Control (ADC) function is the only fully automatic system of its type on the market. It can boost your crane’s listed capacity in suspended load applications by 10% without imposing additional stress or fatigue on the steel structure. This helps to reduce maintenance over the lifetime of the crane. If your crane detects upward pressure on the boom tip – for example, when digging or auguring – the capacity will automatically return to normal level. With ADC you can safely perform lifts that would otherwise exceed the crane’s capacity and you can continue to work without interruption when a high-capacity lift is needed. ADC increases the versatility of the crane and makes it more serviceable.
