Hiab launches new 90 tm heavy range loader crane — HIAB iQ.958 HiPro

Due to its design, it delivers an excellent lift-to-weight ratio. The crane will be exhibited by Hiab at IAA, pavilion P35, in Hannover, Germany, 20 - 25 September.

The HIAB iQ.958 HiPro is a 90 tonne metre (tm) heavy range crane. It is the second model in the iQ range with the advanced technology platform introduced with the HIAB iQ.1188 HiPro.
The HIAB iQ.958 HiPro structurally builds on the V12-Power boom shape design for the crane and the JIB. The result is an extremely light and compact crane with an under two metres side section that can be installed on smaller trucks within the 4 axle 32 tonnes GVW (gross vehicle weight) category, leaving plenty of loading capacity that can reduce the number of trips needed. The lower vehicle weight when unloaded and subsequent need for fewer trips contributes to lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions in the customer’s operation.
The crane uses the new control system SPACEevo that enables precise operations even at high speeds. It also offers advanced safety and productivity features like VSL+ (Variable Stability Logic PLUS) that can maximise the lifting capacity by calculating the stability according to the position of the stabiliser legs and the actual total weight of the truck.

“The HIAB iQ.958 HiPro is a technologically advanced crane for its category, offering great performance for a wide variety of lifts both in horizontal and vertical positions. The crane offers among the best in class lifting performance when using the eighth extension in combination with the JIB with six extensions (JIB 155Q). This maximises the available JIB power to provide superior load capability,” says Marcel Boxem, Director, Global Product Management, Loader Cranes Heavy & Super Heavy, Hiab.
