ePTO

Pracuj w ciszy i przy zerowych emisjach

Urządzenie ePTO (Electric Power Take Off) to nasz elektrohydrauliczny agregat do żurawi. Znajduje się on obok tradycyjnego systemu napędzanego silnikiem, umożliwiając operatorom wykonywanie tych samych zadań, co zwykle, przy wyłączonym silniku pojazdu. Agregat ePTO oznacza wiele korzyści, zarówno środowiskowych, jak i ekonomicznych. Zapewnia na przykład o 60–70% niższe zużycie energii, o 70% niższe koszty eksploatacji oraz o 30% niższy poziom hałasu.

The silent evolution of the crane

This eRoller electric roll loader crane is powered by a lithium ion battery. The battery pack also powers the movements of the crane along the truck’s bed, silently bringing the crane closer to where it is needed for the loading and lifting operations. The possibility to work emission free and within city noise levels, certifies this product as an environmentally friendly solution enabling work in areas where traditional products would not qualify.

Zbiornik CYCLONE

Obniżaj swoje koszty operacyjne

Efektywny system zbiorników CYCLONE zużywa mniej oleju, co pozwala zmniejszyć zakupy w całym okresie eksploatacji żurawia.

Dostępna większa ładowność

Kompaktowy zbiornik CYCLONE wyróżnia się wydajnością i zapewnia dodatkową przestrzeń na pojeździe, maksymalizując ładowność dzięki zmniejszeniu zużycia oleju.

Reduce your operating costs

The efficient CYCLONE tank system runs on using less oil, and this means having to purchase less of it during the whole lifetime of the crane’s life.

Simple, yet more money for your business.

More payload available

The smaller space required for the CYCLONE tank, on par with the highest performance level delivered, gives both more space on board the truck, and the lower oil needed means more weight that can be used for payload.

Give your business only what really matters.

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.
