Waste & Recycling Equipment

Recycling Cranes

HIAB recycling cranes are renowned for their durability and strength to weight ratio. Designed to easily handle all types of materials, HIAB recycling cranes have the perfect combination of precision and power to increase the efficiencies of operations.

Truck Mounted Forklifts

As the demand for recycling grows, so does the need for faster and more frequent pick ups from super centers, retail outlets, grocery stores and home improvement centers.The MOFFETT offers a unique alternative to the counterbalanced forklift that is commonly used today. It’s lightweight design and ability to mount/dismount in less than a minute allow users to pick up more material, in less time while maintaining the required payload on the transport truck.

Material Handler Cranes

HIAB material handler cranes offer the flexibility needed to work smoothly with the local infrastructure of the waste and recycling operations. Rugged and reliable, these loaders bring an unprecedented level of safety for operators and deliver lower total cost of ownership to waste and recycling fleets.

MULTILIFT Hooklifts

MULTILIFT hooklifts can handle all waste and recyclable material with ultimate efficiency, speed, and reliability. Designed and built with superior high-strength steel on a lightweight frame, the daily payload is maximized, which is critical to this industry. With non-CDL and CDL options available, MULTILIFT increases productivity and gives the competitive edge with all load-handling challenges.

Knuckle Boom Crane Features

HiConnect Remote Connectivity HiPro Control System Variable Stability Limit Load Stability System Crane Tip Control Semi Automatic Folding CombiDrive3 Remote Control

HiConnect Remote Connectivity

HIAB HiConnect™ is a web-based dashboard that displays insights on equipment usage, location, time in operation, idle time, and productivity level. By enabling new insights, it helps you to further increase efficiency, productivity, and safety. HiConnect is the latest technology in terms of connectivity capabilities. Being able to remotely access data is key to maximizing your business with facts instead of assumptions. HiConnect maintains constant contact with all units, giving fleet managers the ability to stop unsafe behavior and usage before an incident happens. With the ability to view service history and plan upcoming services, your fleet has minimum downtime and increases daily efficiencies.

HiPro Control System

The HiPro control system with Overload Protection (OLP) is standard on all K-Cranes and brings an unprecedented level of safety to operations without reducing performance. When approaching an overload condition, the crane gives an audible and visual signal at 90% and will stop all radius increasing functions once full capacity has been reached. Automatic Speed Control (ASC) reduces dynamic loading by progressively reducing the speed of the crane when the capacity is between 80% and 100%, preventing operators from performing unsafe, abrupt movements.

Variable Stability Limit

HIAB’s Variable Stability Limit system (VSL) monitors the truck’s stability by registering the extension of stabilizers and monitoring the pressures at each leg to determine the maximum safe capacity of the crane, allowing for higher capacities in situations where the legs are not able to be fully extended. VSL and VSL Plus are available on all Hiab K-HiPro cranes (285, 425 and 505) with VSL Plus available for the 505, which compensates for the weight of the load on the truck, offering even greater lifting capacities, increasing the efficiency of any business.

Load Stability System

Load Stability System (LSS-V) provides smoother, more precise vertical boom motions. If an operator performs a hard stop while raising or lowering a load, the LSS-V system controls boom movement, minimizing the bouncing of the boom and load, while preventing load damage and unnecessary stress on the crane’s components. This feature works in the background to smooth out boom functions allowing for easier placement of the load, making deliveries faster and more efficient. By controlling boom movement and minimizing the bounce of the boom, the structural stress is reduced, thus increasing the expected service life of the crane.

Crane Tip Control

Crane Tip Control (CTC) is an optional feature available for the 285 and 425 cranes. It allows the crane’s controls to be controlled by three levers – the horizontal extension from the truck, the vertical lift, and the rotation of the crane. CTC provides a simplified operation, reducing training time when onboarding new operators, while allowing operators to perform complex techniques safely and efficiently.

Semi Automatic Folding

Semi Automatic Folding (SAF) simplifies the stowing process reducing it to a single-lever operation, protecting the crane and the truck from damage. It allows a single lever operation to fold and unfold the crane, while activating just one lever, which greatly simplifies this frequent routine operating task.

CombiDrive3 Remote Control

The HIAB CombiDrive3 remote control increases efficiency by giving the operator freedom of movement to use the best possible position to view the load. It comes standard with a 100%, 70%, or 50% speed switch. This feature allows the operator to easily change the speed of the crane - especially useful when adjusting heavy loads at long outreaches. The HIAB CombiDrive3 remote control is reliable and worry-free industrial component designed to last the life of the crane.

Truck Mounted Forklift Features

Remote Ground Mount Seat Belt Alarm Full Single-Side Off-Loading Four Way Travel Nationwide Service Team Regional Parts Distribution Industry Leading Warranty Hiab HiConnect™

Remote Ground Mount

Remote Ground Mount (RGM) allows the operator to completely mount or dismount the MOFFETT without the need to climb onto or off of an elevated forklift. With up to a 25' range, the wireless remote control allows the operator to stand away from the machine and traffic during the mounting and dismounting process. This means staying out of the line of traffic or other jobsite hazards while giving optimal visibility during the mounting/dismounting process.

Seat Belt Alarm

The seat belt drive-interlock system now has additional alarm options to improve operator safety. The machine is now fitted with alarms, which trigger if the seat belt is not fastened and/or if the side door is not closed in the correct order. The seat presence alarm system is designed to help ensure operators wear the seat belt properly by invoking a 15 second delay if the seatbelt is fastened before the operator enters the seat.

Full Single-Side Off-Loading

Full capacity, single-side offloading is achieved using MOFFETT's Pantograph and patented Lift Assist System™ that allows the forks to reach completely across the deck of the truck or trailer and lift or place a full capacity load, while still maintaining the tilt and side shift functionality of the mast. This eliminates the need to move the truck and trailer from one side of the road to the other to complete the offloading process.

Four Way Travel

Four way steering allows the forklift to operate safely in 4 directions: forward and back as well as left and right. This allows the operator to transport long loads in a much smaller space by carrying the load parallel to travel, eliminating the need to find alternate routes due to obstructions.
