Sleek, fast, and easy to use
The HIAB X-CLX 178 manual truck-mounted high-performance crane is sleek, fast, and easy to use. And you’ll quickly realize that it’s also built to last. It’s one of four cranes launched by HIAB in response to extensive customer feedback, setting the standard for a new generation of cranes.
Ultimate precision, speed and lifting capacity
No matter what sector you work in, what you’re lifting, or the demands on your crane, optimal performance is your number one priority. And the X-CLX 178 truck-mounted crane delivers to the next level. It has an enhanced heavy-duty lifting capacity of up to 5,100 kg. And reach—out to 16 metres with its hydraulic jib. Its B-Link boom system is double-fast and essentially creates a crane without boom links—perfect for lift and load. The high-cooling hydraulic system delivers smooth, precise operation and significant fuel savings. You can also add a range of accessories, including rotators, earth drivers, and a cost-effective pallet fork.
In a crane that’s meant to last a lifetime
A truly high-performance crane should go the distance – and then some. The X-CLX 178 is equipped with innovations that protect your crane and its parts, minimizing service and downtime you can’t afford. Electrical components, durable hoses, and leak-free soft couplings are hidden away to protect them from wear and tear. Slide pads never need greasing. An oil-filled slewing housing reduces friction and acts like a cool, oil-filled bath for your gears. And with its high-tensile steel construction and patented, rust-resistant nDurance™ coating, your X-CLX 178 truck crane will keep looking as good as it performs for a lifetime – when you can part with it for the highest resale value in the industry.
And designed to be operator-safe, sound, and easy
The X-CLX 178 is safe, ergonomic, easy to use, and fast and easy to install. Stabilizer legs support your truck in any crane position. You can even get an optional integrated oil tank to make installation simpler yet. The X-CLX 178 sports an easy-to-understand control station. And best of all, it has controls on both sides of the truck, with an identical lever sequence on both sides. Work safely, efficiently, and easily without having to turn the truck around. Plus, the HIAB X-CLX 178 sets the bar as the Canadian Industry Standard, and is just as easy to own and maintain, thanks to Atlas Polar’s national sales and service network—#1 in Canada.
