Key Features:

Reliable Knuckle Boom Design: The articulating “knuckle” design allows the crane to fold compactly behind the cab when not in use, while providing the agility to reach over obstacles and place loads with precision in tight spaces.

Dual-Sided Manual Controls: Features control levers on both the driver and passenger sides of the unit, ensuring the operator always has the best line of sight for safe and efficient loading/unloading cycles.

Rack and Pinion Slewing: Utilizes a robust rack and pinion rotation system, known for high torque and long-term durability in vocational applications like building supply delivery and utility work.

Compact Mounting Footprint: Designed to be mounted on a variety of medium-duty chassis (GVW 19,500 lbs and up), the 070 model provides a high lift-to-weight ratio, preserving more of your truck’s legal payload capacity.

Ideal for: The contractor, landscaper, or utility provider looking for a cost-effective lifting solution. The Hiab 070 is a legendary model in the loader crane industry, favored for its simple mechanical hydraulics and lack of complex electronics. It is perfectly suited for handling pallets, logs, or light machinery. As the seller’s plans have changed, this unit represents an excellent opportunity for a buyer to acquire a proven Hiab chassis for a custom truck build or stationary mounting application.

The Hiab Advantage: Hiab is the global pioneer of the hydraulic loader crane, and the 070 series helped set the standard for mid-range performance. Known for “over-built” structural components and excellent parts availability even decades after production, a Hiab crane is an investment in a tool that is designed to be rebuilt rather than replaced.

Note: This unit is located in Listowel. The seller notes that plans changed for their project, making this unit available. Potential buyers should verify the specific hydraulic extension configuration (typically 1 or 2 stages) upon inspection.
