Having already dominated the European market with the new breed in ultra efficient load Roller Cranes, Hiab is now introducing this concept to the UK market.

The new HIAB XS 244 R has a 24 tonne metre lifting capacity and up to 15 metre reach. It allows any standard HIAB XS loader crane to be used with the new Roller base. This adaptability allows a multitude of already familiar XS crane features to be introduced to the Roller crane segment.

Powered internally, this self-propelled crane system maximises productivity beyond imagination. It can be situated anywhere along the truck or trailer platform, offering excellent flexibility. With rapid load cycles and a whole range of new features, it will blast your business ahead of competitors.

When maximum truck payload or capacity is called for, simply detach the Roller from the vehicle. This ensures the greatest carrying length or payload is never limited.

One of the many innovations available on the XS 244 R is HiPro, the most advanced control system of its kind anywhere on the market. It delivers unrivalled speed, precision and safety. The XS 244 R also features the celebrated SPACE 5000 intelligence system, a computer devised to discretely assist in operating the crane safely.

The New Hiab Rollers are available today in 20-30 tonne metre range but later this year Hiab will bring out 8-12 tonne metre range.
