Crane Hot Line is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
Hiab, a part of Cargotec, has unveiled the HIAB eX.HIPRO crane, an addition to its product lineup that features advanced technological innovations aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, productivity, and ease of use while minimizing environmental impact.
The HIAB eX.HIPRO is designed to be energy-efficient and electric vehicle (EV) ready, setting a new standard in the industry. The crane boasts advanced hydraulic systems that offer energy savings of up to 30%. These pressure-compensated and load-sensing hydraulics are optimized for high oil flow, significantly reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This makes the eX.HIPRO not only efficient but also environmentally friendly and quieter during operation. Its compatibility with electric vehicles ensures it is future-proof, and when installed with a diesel engine, features like Dynamic RPM and Automatic Start/Stop enhance energy efficiency further.
At the core of the HIAB eX.HIPRO is the SPACEevo control system, representing the latest in intelligent control technology. Paired with the Olsbergs V200 valve and PFD function, the eX.HIPRO enables smooth and fluid simultaneous movements, reducing pressure drops and heat generation. This system guarantees precise control, simplifying complex maneuvers. Barry McGrane, SVP loader cranes light and medium at Hiab, commented, “With our customers’ needs in mind, we created the HIAB eX.HIPRO loader crane range to offer leading market performance, substantial energy efficiency savings, superior capacity, speed and precision. Helping our customers in their sustainable growth journey is key for us, and the HIAB eX.HIPRO is a product that will greatly aid in those efforts.”
The HIAB eX.HIPRO is optimized for complex tasks, making it ideal for businesses requiring high capacity, speed, and precision. Its intuitive controls and sensor safety features facilitate easy handling and training, allowing operators to achieve higher productivity with less effort.
Designed to maximize uptime and productivity, the HIAB eX.HIPRO features robust construction and high-quality components, ensuring long-lasting performance. It comes with extensive warranties—five years on the steel structure and two years (three as an option) on all other parts—and a wide network of service support. The crane can be tailored to specific customer needs with a range of optional features, including variable pump flow and crane tip control, enhancing its versatility.
The launch includes the HIAB eX.142 HIPRO, HIAB eX.162 HIPRO, HIAB eX.192 HIPRO and HIAB eX.232 HIPRO cranes, available in different configurations to meet diverse operational requirements.
