 Low weight
and long life
Hiab ST 170-063 – a long life hoisting crane
The ST-family is designed to offer customers powerful hoisting
cranes with high quality built-in features. The name of the crane,
ST, stands for stiff and telescopic cranes and each model is given six
digits. The first two tell you which capacity range the crane belongs
to, the third digit the number of extensions together with boom and
the last three tells you how much load the hoist can take.
The Hiab ST-family comprises two models in its ST 170 range:
• ST 173-063 with horizontal outreach close to 10 metres and
maximum load capacity 17 tonne metre.
• ST 174-063, longer reaching with three extensions and
an outreach close to 13 metres horizontally and nearly
14 metres vertically. Maximum load capacity for ST 174-063 is
16.4 tonne metre.
Great attention has been paid to the hoisting mechanism, which
is fitted with a powerful gearbox providing high hoisting speed at
low noise levels. The large drum size makes it possible to use a long
wire. The standard two pulleys on the boom tip and three on the
hoist provides you with a very versatile crane. Lighter loads are
lifted rapidly using two line pull, but you can quickly change to four
line pull for lifting heavy loads. Together with a maximum hook
load capacity of 6 300 kg and low weight these features make the
ST 170 range a powerful choice for two-axle vehicles.

Features and benefits of the Hiab ST 170-063
The ST-family has been designed to offer customers
powerful hoisting cranes with long lifetimes, easy to
service and maintain and with high quality built-in
features. We use our renowned boom design, laser
cutting, high quality steel and hexagonal boom profile
with only one weld to ensure our customers a high
payload. You can benefit from a boom system that is tight,
powerful and durable, has compact dimensions and is
low weight.

Hexagonal boom profile

The hexagonal profile used on Hiab booms
is a ground-breaking design introduced by
Hiab many years ago. It is now standard
throughout the market for loader cranes.
Even the smallest Hiab crane benefits from
this design.

Over-winding alarm
Operators will be warned by the truck horn
if the winding limit is reached and can then
take fast action to prevent damage caused by
over-winding. This is a reliable technique to
prevent over-winding.
