Hiab Secures EUR 35.8 Million Orders for Versatile Equipment in the US

Hiab, a division of Cargotec, secures substantial orders in the US totaling EUR 35.8 million. A national home improvement chain invests EUR 23.8 million in Moffet truck-mounted forklifts, while a national building supply chain places a separate EUR 12 million order for HIAB loader cranes and Moffets. The orders, part of Cargotec’s Q4 2023 intake, will be delivered in H1 2024.

All equipment, featuring HiConnect™ telematic data solution, supports streamlined operations. Hiab’s longstanding partnership with both customers spans decades, making it a trusted equipment and service provider nationwide.

Pauliina Kunvik, Senior VP, Sales & Services, North America, Hiab, emphasizes Moffet’s ability to cater to specific customer needs. The truck-mounted forklifts, including M8 NX models, offer single-operator versatility, delivering diverse materials directly to customers’ locations. Compact yet powerful, these forklifts comply with North American, Canadian, and European emission standards.

Safety is paramount for the building supply customer, and Hiab’s equipment, renowned for industry-leading safety features, aligns with their commitment to safe and smooth product deliveries. The customer’s recent investment in the HiSkill™ crane operator training simulator demonstrates a dedication to operator training using virtual reality technology.

In addition to Moffet forklifts, the customer orders various HIAB loader cranes, including the HIAB K-HIPRO 515 drywall crane capable of delivering materials up to nine stories high. This comprehensive equipment suite solidifies Hiab’s position as a key partner in enhancing operational efficiency and safety for its customers.
