Hiab Hire Across the UK
A hiab lorry, a trained driver and one fixed price — whether it is a single garden cabin or a season of contract deliveries.
Why Hire a Hiab Instead of a Crane and Lorry?
A lorry loader does two jobs at once: it transports your load and lifts it on and off at each end. That means no separate crane company to book, no waiting around for two vehicles to coordinate, and one invoice instead of two.
It is the most cost-effective way to move containers, cabins, machinery and building materials — especially when access is tight or there is nobody on site to help unload.
- One vehicle handles transport and lifting together
- Trained driver-operator included with every booking
- Day hire, single jobs and ongoing contract work
- Coverage throughout England, Scotland and Wales
Recent Lifts and Deliveries
Our lorry loaders place security cabins behind hoarding lines, deliver brick and block packs over garden walls, move containers between depots and crane generators onto rooftop steelwork supports.
Builders, farmers, councils, event organisers, manufacturers and homeowners all use the same service — tell us what you need lifting and where it needs to go, and we will take care of the rest.

Materials Exactly Where You Need Them
Anyone can drop a pallet at the kerb. Our hiab lorries place it behind the fence, over the wall or beside the mixer — saving your team hours of barrowing and double-handling.
Bricks, blocks, timber packs, steel lintels, plant and aggregate bags — if it needs to go exactly where your gang is working, a lorry loader is the fastest way to get it there. Browse our gallery to see materials deliveries in action.
- Brick and block packs placed over walls and behind hoarding
- Timber and steel delivered directly to the work face
- No site crane or telehandler needed on site
- Driver handles all slinging, lifting and setting down
Common Questions About Hiab Hire
How much does hiab hire cost in the UK?
Pricing depends on the weight of the load, time on site and the vehicle needed. All jobs are quoted nationwide as a fixed all-in price so there are no surprises. Call 0330 107 7400 with your details for a quick figure.
Is the crane operated for me?
Yes. Every vehicle comes with a trained driver who operates the loader crane, plans the lift and secures the load — you never need your own operator.
Can I get a vehicle near me?
Almost certainly. We are based in Manchester but our vehicles run nationwide every week, so wherever you are in England, Scotland or Wales we can usually schedule your job efficiently around existing routes.
What size loads can you handle?
Typical loads include 20ft containers, portable cabins, plant, steel and timber packs. Tell us the weight and dimensions and we will confirm the right vehicle for the lift.
Can I get hiab hire near me the next day?
Yes, subject to availability. We run vehicles across England, Scotland and Wales on a regular basis, so next-day and short-notice jobs are often possible. Call 0330 107 7400 or email us with your postcode and collection date — we will come back to you quickly.
Do you do hiab hire for builders and construction sites?
Absolutely. Builders and groundworkers are among our most regular customers — we deliver and lift steel, timber packs, site cabins, containers and plant directly to where work is happening, without needing a telehandler or separate crane on site. The driver operates everything.
What is the difference between hiab hire and a lorry with a crane?
A hiab is a lorry-mounted loader crane — the crane is part of the vehicle itself. So the same vehicle delivers your load and lifts it off at the other end, with no separate crane needed. It is faster, cheaper and more flexible than booking a lorry and a mobile crane separately.
