How Much Does Hiab Hire Cost?

Guides

Hiab hire is usually priced one of three ways: per job (a fixed quote based on the scope), per day (a day-rate plus travel), or per hour (less common, for short urgent jobs). What’s right depends on whether the job is a single lift or a series of lifts spread across a day.

How it works in practice

Factors that affect the price: distance to and from the depot, time on site, number of lifts, weight and reach required, congestion charge or low-emission zone fees (London ULEZ), parking suspensions if required, and overnight stays for long-distance work.

What it means for your job

We quote per job with a clear breakdown. No hidden charges, no separate forklift hire, no crane company quote on top. To get a quote, send pickup, drop-off, what’s being moved, rough weight if known, and any access notes. We come back within the hour during working hours.
