Hiab, part of Cargotec, is launching 12 new T-series light weight cranes with hybrid technology ranging from 1.2 to 3.5 ton meter lift capacity. Designed for easy mounting on pickups and light trucks, the new cranes deliver the highest quality and durability and are particularly easy to use, thanks to the advanced functionality of the steering system. The T-Series has been developed to meet a vast range of applications, particularly in the construction, civil engineering and energy industries, the company said in its press release.
The new T-Series cranes have a number of quality enhancing features, such as a cast base that is durable and completely sealed to prevent oil contamination and the cranes are painted according to Hiab's new nDuranceTM painting standard to safeguard a long life and a good looking crane over time.
The design has been updated with the latest innovative technology, adding features based on market demands, such as 'Smart Control' which allows several crane movements to be performed simultaneously. Its integrated sub-frame makes the mounting of the crane to the vehicle fast and easy, saving customers' time and money on the bodybuilding assembly process. It also provides them the ability to better adapt the specifications of the crane to their particular needs.
Additionally, a hybrid operating system, powered by batteries which are charged whilst the engine is running, is environmentally friendly and saves fuel. To meet availability demand and shorten the delivery lead times, Hiab has also implemented a fast lane system for high runners in its modern Stargard factory.
