Are you scratching your head about how to get a container delivered to that tricky spot on your property? Maybe you've got a sloping block or a narrow access way that's giving you grief. Don't worry - we've got the lowdown on Hiab container transport, the clever solution for those challenging delivery spots!

What Makes Hiab Transport Special? 

Picture this: a powerful truck equipped with its own crane, capable of lifting and placing your container with pinpoint accuracy. That's what Hiab transport is all about! Unlike traditional side loader container transport, Hiab trucks come with a built-in crane system that can reach over obstacles, navigate tight spaces, and place containers in spots that would otherwise be impossible to access.

When Should You Choose Hiab Over Standard Container Transport? 🏗️

Let's be honest - not every container delivery needs a Hiab. But in certain situations, it's absolutely brilliant:

• Your property has a steep driveway
• There are overhead power lines to navigate around
• You need the container placed in a specific spot with centimetre precision
• The delivery site has limited turning space
• You're dealing with uneven or sloping ground
• The container needs to go somewhere a side-loader just can't reach

The Technical Stuff You Need to Know 📍

Before you book a Hiab transport service, here's what you should understand about these machines:

Reach and Capacity

• Most Hiab cranes can reach up to 20 metres (though this varies by truck)
• They can typically handle weights up to 12 tonnes
• The crane can rotate 360 degrees for optimal positioning
• Precision placement within centimetres is possible

Site Requirements

• Solid, stable ground for the truck to park on
• Enough space for stabiliser legs to be deployed
• Clear access for the truck to get close enough to the delivery spot
• Adequate clearance for the crane to operate safely
