smart haulage solutions
Transport and Lifting Combined in a Single Solution
HIAB haulage combines the load-carrying capacity of articulated transport with on-board crane capability - the smart solution for freight that needs more than a standard lorry can offer.
Moving heavy, awkward, or oversized loads between sites requires more than a standard haulage vehicle - it requires a solution that can transport and place the load without the need for additional lifting equipment at either end. That's exactly what our HIAB haulage service provides.
At Lift-Rigg UK, our specialist HIAB haulage vehicles combine articulated transport capacity with powerful on-board crane capability, allowing our experienced operators to collect, transport, and precisely position loads without the delay and cost of coordinating separate haulage and lifting contractors. Whether you're moving plant, equipment, prefabricated components, or construction materials, our HIAB haulage service keeps your project moving efficiently from collection to final placement.
Transport and Lifting in One Vehicle
Our HIAB haulage vehicles collect, carry, and place your load without the need for separate lifting equipment - saving time, reducing cost, and simplifying your logistics.
Ideal for Heavy and Awkward Freight
From oversized plant and machinery to prefabricated structural components, our HIAB haulage fleet is equipped to handle loads that would challenge a conventional haulage solution.
Precise Placement at Destination
The on-board knuckle boom crane allows our operators to position loads accurately at the delivery point - no waiting for a crane to arrive, no additional contractor to coordinate.
Experienced, Nationwide Coverage
Our specialist HIAB haulage operators are experienced in handling demanding freight across the UK, with fast mobilisation and competitive rates for both one-off and repeat movements.

Tailored Solutions
HIAB Haulage or Standard Haulage?
If your load simply needs collecting and delivering, standard haulage will often do the job. But if your freight is heavy, awkward, or needs to be precisely placed at the destination - and there's no lifting equipment waiting at the other end - HIAB haulage is the smarter choice.
Standard Haulage
Transports loads between locations
Requires lifting equipment at collection and delivery points
Lower day rate, but additional crane hire costs may apply at either end
BEST FOR: standard freight that can be loaded and unloaded conventionally
HIAB Haulage
Transports and lifts in a single vehicle
No additional lifting equipment required at collection or delivery
Eliminates the cost and complexity of coordinating separate contractors
BEST FOR: heavy, awkward, or oversized loads requiring precise placement
