ePTO

Lavora in silenzio, a emissioni zero

ePTO [sigla per Electric Power Take Off] è il nostro alimentatore elettroidraulico per gru. È collocato accanto al tradizionale sistema azionato dal motore e permette agli operatori di eseguire qualsiasi lavoro richiesto anche con il motore del camion spento. L’ePTO offre numerosi vantaggi, sia ambientali sia economici: ad esempio, riduce del 60-70% il consumo energetico, del 70% i costi operativi e del 30% il livello dei rumori.

eRoller Crane

L’evoluzione silenziosa della gru

L’unità elettrica della base della gru garantisce un movimento silenzioso della gru stessa lungo il pianale del camion, avvicinandola al punto in cui viene utilizzata per le operazioni di carico e sollevamento. La possibilità di lavorare entro i limiti cittadini dei livelli di rumore e l’assenza di emissioni garantiscono il rispetto dell’ambiente da parte di questo prodotto, diversamente dalle soluzioni tradizionali che sarebbero invece vietate.

SERBATOIO CYCLONE TANK: OTTIMO PER L’AMBIENTE, OTTIMO PER RISPARMIARE

Investire in un serbatoio CYCLONE TANK è un modo diretto per risparmiare denaro, avere un impatto positivo sull’ambiente e ottenere il massimo dalla tua attività. Questa innovazione avanzata porta nel futuro un elemento di base come il serbatoio dell’olio.

Riduci i tuoi costi operativi

L’efficiente sistema di serbatoi CYCLONE TANK funziona utilizzando meno olio: ciò significa doverne acquistare di meno per tutto il ciclo di vita della gru.

Una soluzione semplice che ti fa risparmiare denaro per la tua attività.

Più carico utile disponibile

Lo spazio più piccolo richiesto dal serbatoio CYCLONE TANK - abbinato al livello superiore di prestazioni offerto - significa più spazio a bordo del camion, mentre la minor quantità d’olio necessaria significa più peso utilizzabile per il carico utile.

Savings on all sides with MULTILIFT features

Innovative features for your MULTILIFT can increase your payload opportunities while simultaneously reducing your environmental impact.

PerformanceOptions™ reduce your fuel consumption and emissions.
Fast Performance™ and Sequence Performance™ save time and effort to boost productivity.
Lighter and stronger steel structure increases payload while further reducing fuel consumption.
Quiet Performance™ reduces noise pollution to surrounding environments.

Performance for a sustainable future: MULTILIFT hooklifts made from fossil-free steel

Hiab has partnered with the global steel company SSAB to pioneer the use of fossil-free steel with zero CO2 emissions in the load handling industry. The first product is a MULTILIFT Ultima hooklift that was unveiled at the IAA Transportation 2022 in Hannover, making it the first hooklift of its kind in the world.

Steel production accounts for 7% of the global CO2 emissions and steel components are Hiab’s main contributor for CO2 footprint when producing load handling equipment. From 2026, Hiab will start to deliver load handling equipment made from fossil-free steel, just as strong and long-lasting, but with zero CO2 emissions. By 2030, Hiab aims to make its own operations carbon-neutral providing true performance for the next generation.

Stay charged and reduce emissions

The tail lift Solar Charger solution generates power through solar panels on the roof of your truck or trailer and stores it in your tail lift battery, ensuring your tail lift is always charged and ready to go.
