Hiabs for Wincanton

UK transport and logistics company Wincanton has taken delivery of 14 Hiab 145DLL-1 HiPro loader cranes.

Mounted on 26 tonne Mercedes Actros chassis, the rear mounted Hiab 145DLL-1s have a maximum load moment of 14.4 tonne/metres and up to 7.5 metres of reach with just the single hydraulic extension. Features include the company’s Power on Demand drive - which runs the engine on idle when a crane control is activated and includes a remote engine start/stop function - along with Hiab’s advanced radio remote controls and HiConnect telematics system.

Given the crane’s position at the rear of the truck, Wincanton opted for uprated rear steer axles plated at 8,500kg to give a 19 tonne bogie weight. The chassis can also work with drawbar trailers with a total weight of up to 44 tonnes.
