Hiab Hire in St Albans & Hertfordshire
Eynesbury Group hires out Hiab crane lorries in St Albans and across Hertfordshire, and every hire comes with one of our drivers to operate the crane. We lift your load on, drive it to site and lift it off where you need it.
St Albans is about 40 miles from our yard in St Neots, down the A1(M) and A414.
Hiab hire across Hertfordshire
A Hiab is a lorry with its own crane, also called a crane lorry. Our driver lifts the load onto the lorry, brings it to your site and sets it down within reach of the crane, so you need no forklift or crane at either end.
Tell us what needs moving, its size and weight, and the pick-up and drop-off postcodes. We will confirm the right lorry and the price before anything is booked.
What our Hiab lorries move
- Cabins and containers: portable site cabins, offices and storage containers, lifted on and off the lorry.
- Building materials: bricks, timber, steel beams and roofing supplies, set down where you need them on site.
- Plant and machinery: machines and equipment loaded, delivered and lifted into place.
- Generators: delivered to building sites and events.
- Something else: send us its size and weight and we will tell you straight away whether a Hiab is right. See Hiab Hire
Lifting in Hertfordshire
- Lifting from the road: Hertfordshire County Council licenses mobile cranes used on a road, verge or pavement, and asks for at least 10 working days’ notice. If our lorry will have to stand on the street to lift, tell us early and we will check what is needed.
- Firm, level standing: the lorry puts down stabiliser legs before it lifts, so it needs firm, level ground. Soft verges and lawns are not suitable, so tell us what the ground is like where it will stand.
- Overhead cables and trees: check for power lines, phone cables and branches above the drop-off point. The crane cannot lift close to them.
- St Albans city centre: the older streets around the cathedral and the market are narrow. Tell us where the lorry can stop so we can plan the lift.
