Hiab Delivery
A Hiab is a truck fitted with a crane, used to deliver containers to sites with no direct truck access. The crane lifts and places the container without needing the truck itself to reach the final position.
Clearance Requirement
6m Hiab | 12m Hiab | |
Height | 7.5m (24ft) | 7.5m (24ft) |
Width | 5m (16ft) | 5m (16ft) |
Length | 10m (33ft) | 20m (64ft) |
Swing lifter Truck Delivery
A swing lifter unloads the container by lifting each end in turn and lowering it to the ground directly beside the truck. This method suits sites with enough space alongside the delivery point.

Length | 10m (33ft) | 16m (53ft) |
Which Delivery Method Do I Need?
The right method depends on access to your site. Hiab delivery suits tighter or obstructed sites where a truck can’t reach the exact drop point. Swing lifter delivery suits sites with clear space alongside the truck’s path. Let us know your site layout, and we’ll confirm which method applies.
