Hire a HIAB lorry with a trained driver
When you book a HIAB with Hiab Haulage, you get one of our own lorries and a driver who is trained to drive it and to work its lifting arm. You tell us what needs lifting and where, and the driver handles each lift from setting the stabilisers to setting the load down.
Contractors, manufacturers, hire companies, event teams and private customers book a HIAB and driver when they have a list of lifts or deliveries to get through, rather than a single load to move from one place to another.
- Rigid, wagon and drag and artic HIAB lorries
- Drivers holding CPCS cards, working to ALLMI guidance
- FORS Bronze accredited fleet
- Every lift planned before the vehicle is booked
- HIAB lorry hire across England, Scotland and Wales

HIAB hire in Manchester and across the UK
Our lorries and drivers are based in Miles Platting, Manchester, so HIAB hire in Manchester and the North West is on our doorstep. The same lorries and drivers also work in Yorkshire, the North East, the Midlands, Wales, Scotland and the South, with longer runs booked ahead.
If you need a HIAB for a single collection and delivery rather than a list of lifts, our HIAB delivery service page explains how that works. For long or awkward loads, two lorries can share the lift with our dual HIAB lifts.
HIAB hire questions
What is HIAB hire with driver?
HIAB hire with driver means booking one of our HIAB lorries together with a trained driver who drives the lorry and works its lifting arm. The driver lifts your load on, carries it and lifts it off where you need it, so there is no separate lifting equipment to arrange.
Do you offer HIAB hire in Manchester and the North West?
Yes. Our depot is in Miles Platting, Manchester, so HIAB hire in Manchester and across the North West is close to home for our drivers. We also send HIAB lorries and drivers to sites across England, Scotland and Wales.
Which HIAB lorry will I get?
We choose the vehicle once we know the load, the route and the delivery point. A rigid HIAB suits town streets and tighter sites, a wagon and drag carries more in one trip, and an artic HIAB takes longer loads.
How much does HIAB hire cost?
Every booking is priced on its own. The main factors are what needs lifting, how many lifts or drops there are, the distances involved, the vehicle needed and the access at each end. Send us the details and some photos and we will come back to you with a price.
How do I book a HIAB and driver?
Use the quote form or email us with the loads, the addresses, the date you need and a few photos of each site. We plan the lifts and the vehicle before the booking is confirmed.
