Collections and deliveries

HIAB delivery service across the UK

A HIAB lorry and a trained driver to collect your load, carry it safely and lift it off at the other end, whether it is a single job or a regular run.

Lorry and driver

HIAB collection and delivery, start to finish

Hiab Haulage is a Manchester based HIAB company carrying loads for businesses and private customers all over England, Scotland and Wales. You book a lorry and a trained driver, and we take care of the rest: lifting the load on, securing it for the road and lifting it off where you want it.

Because the lorry carries its own lifting arm, there is no forklift or extra lifting equipment to arrange at either end. That makes HIAB deliveries ideal for busy streets, yards, building sites and premises with no loading bay.

  • One-off collections and deliveries
  • Regular runs for manufacturers, merchants and hire companies
  • Site to site and yard to site moves
  • Freight delivery to premises with no loading equipment

Typical loads include machinery, steel, timber, pallets of materials, tanks, generators, containers and cabins. If you are not sure whether your load suits a HIAB, send us a description and a photo and we will tell you how we would move it.

How it works

Booking a HIAB delivery is simple

Every job is planned before the lorry is booked, so the right vehicle arrives and the lift runs smoothly. Enquiries sent when the office is closed are answered as soon as we are back.

  1. Send the details

    Tell us what the load is, where it is now and where it needs to go.

  2. Add photos

    Up to four photos of the load and the delivery spot help us plan.

  3. We plan and price

    We choose the vehicle, check the access and send your price.

  4. Collected and delivered

    Our driver lifts the load on, carries it and sets it down.

Why customers book us

Our own fleet and our own drivers

From a single machine to a regular weekly run, customers come back to us because the job is planned properly and done safely. Our drivers hold CPCS cards and work to ALLMI guidance, and our fleet is FORS Bronze accredited. We also hold FTA accreditation.

We match the vehicle to the load and the access, choosing from rigid HIABs, wagon and drag HIABs, artic HIABs, articulated flatbeds, low loaders and extendable trailers. If you would rather book the lorry and driver for your own list of jobs, see HIAB hire with driver.

Collection and delivery questions

What is a HIAB delivery?

It is a collection and delivery on a lorry fitted with its own lifting arm. The driver lifts the load onto the lorry, carries it and lifts it off at the delivery point, so no extra lifting equipment is needed at either end.

Can I book a single collection?

Yes. Many of our jobs are one-off moves for businesses and private customers. Tell us what needs moving and where, and we will plan it and send you a price.

Do you offer regular runs for businesses?

Yes. Manufacturers, merchants and hire companies book us for regular collections and deliveries. A trade account gives you one monthly invoice, while each job is still priced on its own.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as you can. Every lift is planned before the vehicle is booked, so the sooner we have the details and photos, the easier it is to fit your preferred date.

Do you offer HIAB delivery near me?

If you are in England, Scotland or Wales, almost certainly. We are based in Manchester and our HIAB lorries deliver nationwide, from city centre streets to rural sites. Send us the collection and delivery postcodes and we will plan the run.

How much does a HIAB delivery cost?

Each HIAB delivery is priced individually. The main factors are the distance, the size and weight of the load, the vehicle needed and the access at both ends. A quote request with photos of the load and the delivery point lets us price it accurately.

Need something collected and delivered?

Send us the collection and delivery addresses, a description of the load and a few photos. We will plan the job and send you a price.
