Hiab Hire & Transport in Manchester
Experienced crane-lorry operators for commercial collections, deliveries and planned lifting work across the city and nationwide.

Crane lorry services across Manchester
We provide operated Hiab hire for machinery, portable cabins, containers, plant, steelwork and unusual commercial loads across the city, Salford, Trafford and the surrounding Greater Manchester area. Vehicles are selected for the load, route, access and required lifting radius.
Our completed local work includes moving the historic Town Hall gates for refurbishment, lifting concrete bollards on behalf of the city council, cabin installation, airport-related work and equipment delivery at the Etihad Campus. These projects provide relevant experience, but every new lift is assessed independently.

Planning lifts in busy or restricted locations
City-centre streets, construction sites and commercial premises can have limited standing space, parking controls or restricted access. The team reviews vehicle dimensions, safe outrigger space, overhead hazards, ground conditions and final positioning before confirming the work.
Where required within the agreed scope, we can help coordinate road closures or parking suspensions and provide an appointed person, lift plans, RAMS, a slinger or banksman.
Local collection and nationwide delivery
A load can be collected locally and delivered elsewhere in the UK, or collected nationwide for delivery into Greater Manchester. Contact us with the details you have; postcodes, approximate weight and dimensions, photographs and intended positioning are helpful if available.
Services available for suitable loads
