HIAB 855 for Hire

The HIAB 855 E-8 HiPro is one of the heaviest crane trucks in our fleet. Mounted on an 8-wheeler rigid, the 855 crane is rated to lift up to 18 tonnes at minimum radius, with a lifting moment of around 91 tonne-metres and hydraulic reach to 19.5 metres — for demanding steel, precast and construction lifts across the UK.

HIAB 855 E-8 HiPro — Heavy-Lift Rigid Crane Truck

The HIAB 855 is a heavy-duty crane mounted on an 8-wheeler rigid lorry — built for the lifts that our standard rigid cranes cannot reach. With a lifting moment of approximately 91 tonne-metres (897 kNm), the 855 crane is rated to lift up to 18 tonnes close in, and still handles useful loads right out to its maximum hydraulic reach.

Its eight hydraulic boom extensions give an outreach of up to 19.5 metres, lifting roughly 2.9 tonnes at full stretch — ideal for long reach HIAB lifts placing heavy loads at distance, across wide site footprints or into positions the vehicle cannot park beside. Sitting on a 32-tonne 8-wheeler rigid with rear-steer, the 855 keeps strong manoeuvrability for a crane of this class, and sets up on a 9-metre stabiliser span for stability under heavy and long-reach lifts.

HIAB 855 hire from HIAB Services UK is available throughout England, Scotland and Wales on one-off and contract terms, operated by our most experienced CPCS-accredited team. Because real lifting capacity reduces as the load moves further from the crane, we plan every 855 lift around your exact load weight and placement — tell us the figures and we will confirm the right vehicle.

HIAB 855 Typical Applications

  • Heavy structural steel — long beams, columns and fabrications
  • Large precast concrete panels, beams and structural elements
  • Modular and SIP building sections, roof modules and pods
  • Long-reach lifts at distance where the vehicle cannot park alongside
  • Heavy plant, machinery and transformer positioning
  • Loaded container and ISO unit placement at reach
