MULTILIFT TALON

DEFENSE LOGISTICS MADE SMARTER AND SAFER

Reliable delivery of supplies is critical to logistical operations – it's the lifeline of defensive success. Harsh conditions demand peak performance, where every second counts and safety is non-negotiable.

MULTILIFT Talon is your in-cabin powerhouse, redefining Container handling in the toughest of conditions without sacrificing Flatrack performance. Developed from battle-proven technology, it represents Hiab's new generation of defense logistics Load Handling Systems. This system combines the functionality of in-service products with the latest advancements in automation and technology.

MULTILIFT Talon

  • FASTER – Configuration changes between Flatrack and Container modes are performed automatically from within the cab. Automatic functions and fast-speed features significantly reduce cycle times.
  • SMARTER – The system features a simple and compact user interface, operable by a single person (the driver). The MULTILIFT HiVision system provides operator assistance for quick and efficient loading/unloading. The new Liftframe design enhances performance in challenging conditions (roll pitch & yaw) and lifting partially submerged Containers. The unique design of the rear assembly enables the handling of a wide variety of Flatracks without any performance loss.
  • SAFER – All routine operations are conducted from within the cab, without external manual intervention during configuration changes between Flatrack and Container modes. The system ensures automatic locking to the ISO Container using both upper and lower corner castings for loading/unloading. Both ISO Containers and Flatracks are automatically secured to the vehicle for transport.
