HIAB CRANES: MUCH MORE THAN THE SUM OF THEIR PARTS

Many cranes are ‘assembled’ using parts from various suppliers. Not so much with HIAB truck cranes. And it’s a major advantage for our customers.

Think about it. When you have complete control and oversight of your process from initial design and engineering concepts to sophisticated control systems and software, all the way to casting a valve, the finished product is integrated and optimized from crane tip to base.

With HIAB articulated cranes, everything is purpose-built to fit the crane’s geometry and requirements—every nut, bolt, valve, part, system and technology, even down to the multi-stage patented nanotech nDurance protectivecoating.

HIAB Power and intelligence are in perfect sync. Olsbergs is one reason why.

Olsbergs is a HIAB company. It has 40 years of continuous development and 30 patented innovations. Olsbergs manufactures HIAB electrohydraulic control systems and has 20,000 of them installed worldwide.

Modern safety features and automated functions depend on reliable, real-time data to ensure seamless performance.  Olsbergs radio remote control systems deliver that: fluid, intuitive movements. Precise fingertip controls. Pinpoint precision. They speak to HIAB’s overall intelligent SPACEevo control system in real time for lightning-fast data processing from multiple sensors.

Olsbergs hydraulic valves and CombiDrive4 controller work together to make it easy for HIAB cranes—and crane operators — to operate at peak performance in any situation.

HIAB operators are skilled experts.
HIAB truck-mounted cranes react to what a crane expert expects.

In the hands of a skilled operator, a crane is only as good as its responsiveness. That responsiveness comes only when the crane’s brain is in sync with the system and all the parts align. Purpose-built HIAB cranes are more than the sum of their parts because, from brains to brawn, we control the build and fine-tune them to react exactly as a skilled crane expert expects— an extension of the operator, at one with the machine.
