Hiab Truck Hire in Auckland

A Hiab is a truck with its own crane mounted on the chassis, so it can load, carry and place heavy or awkward items without a separate crane or forklift on site. It is the go-to option for building materials, steel, glass, machinery, containers and anything that needs to be lifted over a fence or placed exactly where you need it.

Every RPC Hiab comes with an experienced driver-operator. We plan the lift, bring the right truck for the weight and reach, and deliver your load safely, whether it is a single delivery or ongoing work for your business across Auckland and the wider region.

Our Hiab Fleet

Truck Best for
8-wheeler Hiab trucks Larger and longer loads: steel, building materials, machinery, container units and site deliveries
4×4 Hiab Sites with tricky access, such as steep, narrow or unsealed driveways
Larger Hiab units Heavier lifts or longer reach. We have access to larger Hiab units when a job needs more lifting power

How much can a Hiab lift? It depends on how far the crane has to reach. The further the boom extends, the less it can lift. As an example, one of our units lifts around 3 tonnes at about 6 metres. Tell us the weight and how far the item needs to go from where the truck parks, and we will match the right Hiab to the job.

What We Lift and Move

  • Building and construction: framing, roofing, cladding, timber and materials delivered and placed on site
  • Steel and concrete: steel beams, reinforcing and precast concrete fabrication
  • Glass: glass manufacturing and installation deliveries
  • Containers and container units: container unloading and small container units, subject to weight and reach
  • Port work: port deliveries, and vessel loading and unloading
  • Marine and engines: engines, marine equipment and machinery
  • Events: project work and show days

What affects the cost:

  • The weight and size of what we are lifting
  • How far the crane needs to reach, and whether a larger Hiab is needed
  • Access at the pickup and delivery sites
  • Travel distance and time on site
