Hiab secures significant orders for MOFFETT truck-mounted forklifts and HIAB loader cranes in the USA

Hiab, part of Cargotec, has secured significant MOFFETT truck-mounted forklift and HIAB loader crane orders in the USA. Two large home improvement segment customers placed MOFFETT orders with a combined value of EUR 19.5 million. In a separate order, a roofing and building material distributor ordered MOFFETTs and HIABs for a total value of EUR 5.9 million. The orders were booked in Q4, 2024 with deliveries scheduled to commence in 2025.

Hiab has maintained long-standing partnerships with all three customers, having been an integral part of their US-wide operations as an equipment and service provider for years.

The truck-mounted forklifts units on order are part of the MOFFETT M8 NX Range. With a lifting capacity of up to 3,500 kg, the M8 NX can transfer heavy loads quickly and safely even across challenging terrain, while compact enough to be carried on almost any truck or trailer. The M8 NX is available with a wide range of options and attachments, including 4-way steering for negotiating tight access areas with long loads.

“We are happy to once again deliver on the needs of three of our long-standing partners in the home improvement segment in the US. MOFFETT has been a preferred product for its versatility and applications in all kinds of different scenarios related to home improvement projects, among others. Our technology integrations, enhanced safety features and improved ergonomic design continue to provide best-in-class options for our customers,” said Bryan Rupert, Business Line Director, MOFFETT Truck Mounted Forklifts, Hiab USA.

The ordered HIAB loader cranes  comprise four models from the heavy range portfolio (30–100Tm) with the majority of the units being HIAB K-HiPro 425. The cranes have the HiPro advanced remote controlled system for optimal precision, performance, safety and full remote control over the toughest jobs in construction and other industries.

“Hiab's long-standing partnership with all three customers highlights our deep understanding of their needs in the US market. The established relationship provides a strong foundation for future collaboration and growth,” said Pauliina Kunvik, Senior Vice President Sales and Services, North America, Hiab.
