ACCESSORIES THAT ENHA
Extend the versatility of your HIAB mid-range crane by
adding one or more tools from the wide range of HIAB
accessories. Manufactured to the highest standards,
they enhance functionality and performance.

Rotator
A sturdy rotator is an important workhorse, especially
when it comes to handling heavy or bulky loads with
precision. We offer a wide range of gear-type and
vane-type rotators, with shaft or flange attachments
for connecting them to other accessories.

Pallet fork
Handling loads with a pallet fork has a number of
advantages. Above all a pallet fork is less expensive
than the main alternative – a brick grab. Also, since
the load is palletised and lifted from underneath,
it is possible to lift many different types of loads
– including soft and flexible loads as well as solid
ones.

Earth drills
Robust earth drills are optimal solutions for fencing,
road signs, landscaping, tree planting, well borings,
screw piles and sound barrier installations. The
drills are available in three motor sizes and with
a wide variety of auger dimensions up to 1000 mm.
Different tooth types are also available, as well as
extensions for drilling holes to a maximum depth
of five metres.
