About Hiab Truck Hire — Manchester-Based, UK-Wide
A family-run Manchester transport business with one specialism: moving and lifting the loads that ordinary hauliers can’t — anywhere in Britain.
Our Story
Built on Lifting, Backed by Experience
We started with a simple idea: a delivery vehicle that carries its own crane saves customers the cost and hassle of hiring two machines. Years later, that idea has grown into a modern fleet of hiab crane lorries working from our Manchester depot.
Today our trucks move shipping containers, portable cabins, plant, steel and machinery for builders, manufacturers, councils, event organisers and homeowners — with the same care on a single garden cabin as a full contract fleet move.
- Family-run, with drivers who have spent careers behind a loader crane
- Goods in transit and public liability insurance on every movement
- Vehicles maintained in-house and matched to each job
- Straight answers and honest pricing, every time
How We Work
One Call. One Vehicle. Job Done.
Tell us what needs moving, where from and where to. We plan the lift, send the right hiab lorry with a trained driver, and handle the load from first lift to final set-down.
2. We Plan & Price It
You get a clear quote and a planned route. For tricky lifts we will talk through siting, ground conditions and timing with you first.
3. We Lift & Deliver
Our driver loads, secures, transports and offloads with the vehicle’s own crane. You sign it off — and that’s it.
