Hiab receives significant orders in the US for loader cranes and
truck mounted forklifts
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 31 JANUARY 2024 AT 10:00 AM
EET
Hiab, part of Cargotec, has received two significant orders for
Hiab equipment in the US. A national home improvement chain has
ordered MOFFETT truck mounted forklifts for a value of EUR 23.8
million, while a separate EUR 12 million order was made by a
national building supply chain for HIAB loader cranes and MOFFETTs.
The two orders were booked in Cargotec’s 23 Q4 order intake with
deliveries being made throughout H1 2024.
All the equipment delivered is connected and comes equipped with
the HiConnect™ telematic data solution. Hiab has a long-standing
partnership with both customers and has been part of their US-wide
operation for decades as an equipment and service
provider.
One operator enough to deliver heavy materialsPauliina
Kunvik, Senior Vice President, Sales & Services, North
America, Hiab, says: “MOFFETT has a reputation for delivering to
the customer’s needs and requirements, like the national home
improvement chain’s specifications. The MOFFETT truck mounted
forklifts offer the versatility for a single operator to deliver
anything their DIY or professional customers need for home
improvement projects. From lumber to piping or turf to pave stones,
deliveries can be made directly to their front porch or backyard —
wherever the products need to be placed.”
The MOFFETT truck mounted forklifts ordered are M8 NX models
with both three wheel drive and four-way steering. While it is very
powerful, it is still compact enough to be carried on a wide
variety of truck and trailer classes. All MOFFETT truck mounted
forklifts are compliant with Tier 4 emission standards in North
America & Canada and European Stage V regulations. Safety is
the number one priority“Safety is the number one priority for
the building supply customer. Hiab equipment offers
industry-leading safety features to keep their operators out of
harm's way and deliver the products safely and smoothly. Their
delivery model has been built around customer service and Hiab
equipment delivers to their commitment to having the best service
for their customers. In short, if one of their customers, such as a
roofing contractor, wants the shingles delivered to the roof, they
have the equipment to deliver it there,” says Pauliina
Kunvik.
Apart from MOFFETT M8 NX truck mounted forklifts, the customer
has ordered a variety of HIAB loader cranes in the medium and heavy
range, and the specialised drywall crane in the K range. The
largest drywall crane HIAB K-HIPRO 515 can deliver material up to
nine stories.
Earlier this year, this customer invested in the HiSkill™ crane
operator training simulator which uses virtual reality (VR)
technology to create a safe and realistic learning environment to
onboard and upskill operators of HIAB loader cranes.
