Hiab hire services
Hiab hire and crane lorry transport
Arrange crane-assisted collection and delivery in Leeds for loads that need lifting onto or off the vehicle. Plantforce’s Hiab service covers equipment and specialist loads; provide the weight, dimensions and lifting distance so the operator can assess the job.
Machinery and generator transport
Transport for machinery, generators and static plant, with crane lifting where required and suitable. Explain whether the machine can move under its own power, how it will be loaded and where it needs to be positioned at delivery.
Site accommodation and fabrication deliveries
Hiab transport for site accommodation, tanks, steelwork and fabricated items. For a Leeds construction site or commercial delivery, include the available standing space, site entrance and unloading position when requesting a quotation.
Low loader hire
Low loader transport for heavy plant, including excavators, crushers, piling rigs and loading shovels. Plantforce can discuss local collections and longer-distance movements. Supply the machine’s travel dimensions and weight so the team can confirm the appropriate trailer and route.
Beavertail plant transport
Beavertail transport for plant such as rollers, dumpers, forklifts and excavators. This provides an alternative for suitable loads that can be driven or otherwise loaded onto the vehicle. Confirm loading access and equipment requirements with Plantforce before arranging collection.
Why Choose Plantforce
A Leeds operating base and a varied transport fleet make Plantforce a practical contact for jobs involving both haulage and lifting. The company describes CPCS and Hiab-trained operators, GPS fleet tracking and in-house maintenance facilities. Discuss your job with the team so the vehicle, access arrangements and lifting requirements can be checked before booking.
Fleet & cranes
Plantforce’s listed vehicle options include rigid Hiab, artic Hiab and 7.5-tonne Hiab vehicles, alongside low loaders and beavertails. Ask the team which vehicle is available and suitable for your load. Its website advertises Hiab combinations with gross vehicle weights up to 44 tonnes and bed lengths up to 19 metres. Gross vehicle weight includes the vehicle itself; it is not the available payload or crane lifting capacity. The operator must confirm capacity at the required working radius. Published beavertail specifications include gross vehicle weights up to 32 tonnes and beds up to 9.3 metres. Deck space, payload and loading arrangements vary with the vehicle selected.
