Hiab hire is not a one-size-fits-all service, so there's no single published rate card. The price for any job depends on a combination of factors — and understanding them helps you get an accurate quote quickly.
What Affects the Cost of Hiab Hire?
- Load weight and dimensions — heavier and larger loads require bigger vehicles and cranes
- Crane reach required — the further the crane needs to extend, the lower its safe working load becomes
- Time on site — a straightforward drop takes less time than a multi-lift job with awkward access
- Vehicle type — rigid, artic or specialist configuration
- Access conditions — tight roads, restricted sites and permit requirements all factor in
Fixed All-In Pricing
All jobs are quoted nationwide as a fixed all-in price. That means no hourly rate that climbs if the job takes longer than expected, no hidden fuel surcharges and no waiting-time extras sprung on you after the fact. You receive a single figure before the vehicle moves.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
The fastest way to get a figure is to tell us: the weight and dimensions of your load, where it's coming from and going to, any access restrictions at either end, and whether you need a crane reach of more than around 8 metres. The more detail you give us, the more accurate the quote.
