Looking for Hiab hire in Manchester? Watford Haulage runs a Hiab-equipped flatbed lorry across the north-west and out from there UK-wide. We bring the crane, so you do not need one on site.
What Hiab hire means for Manchester customers
A Hiab is a truck-mounted articulated crane fitted behind the cab. It lets us load and unload the job ourselves, without needing a forklift, telehandler, or any handling equipment at the Manchester end. We work routinely with construction firms, scaffolders and merchants across Greater Manchester.
The crane reaches over walls, fences and hedges to place the load exactly where you want it: a back garden in Manchester, a tight builder’s yard, a residential drive that a standard wagon cannot get near.
Typical Hiab jobs in Manchester
- Pallets of bricks delivered to building sites with no on-site forklift
- Hot tubs lifted over a 6ft fence into a back garden
- Mini-diggers and compressors transported between depot and customer site
- Bagged aggregate, sand and ballast placed by the back door, not dumped on the kerb
- Sheds, log cabins and garden buildings craned into position
- Shipping containers placed in tight yards or behind buildings
- Plant hire returns picked up at the end of a job
If your load is awkward, heavy, or going somewhere a normal lorry cannot, the Hiab is the right tool. See why a Hiab beats a standard wagon.
