Hopper long - Hiab lorry Another challenge for our Hiab lorry and driver/ operator. The need to be able to work in a tight physical space means a Hiab lorry is an ideal and cost effective solution. The client needed their new hopper placed in exactly the right place, rather than just being offloaded. There would have been significant risk of damage to this particular piece of equipment if we had merely offloaded; it needed to be properly supported vertically to make sure it would be in full working order once installed.

A night out for our Hiab lorry The task was to remove some large glass panels with a Hiab lorry, from a shop front in Westwood Cross Shopping Centre, Broadstairs. There were two challenges which meant that a Hiab lorry was the best solution for this job. The obvious one was the difficulty of reaching underneath a canopy. The Hiab lorry is able to reach from the road right up to the shop front, and most importantly does not need much headroom in order to do so. [ 87 more words. ]
