Monumental performance
and efficiency from the HIAB
knuckleboom crane
The business of manufacturing and supplying
granite monuments and precast burial vaults
has never been more challenging. Increasing
costs are forcing more families to opt for
cremation rather than a traditional burial. More
cemetaries are insisting on bronze markers
set level with the ground to facilitate easier
maintenance. As a result, the demand for
granite monuments has been reduced.
In this fast-changing industry, the companies
that remain competitive and profitable are
those that are ready and willing to change the
way they do things. Take the handling and
delivery of burial vaults as an example. The
need for maximum efficiency and versatility
has never been greater. That’s why more
companies, from small businesses delivering
monuments to large precast concrete
manufacturers are replacing their existing
equipment with a HIAB knuckleboom crane.
A better way of working
The HIAB knuckleboom crane outperforms
traditional handling and delivery systems in a
number of important ways.
In the yard, the HIAB crane can load itself
from any position, easily reaching over other
markers to lift the marker and base that the
customer wants.
The HIAB’s articulating boom system is also
a major advantage at the cemetary. The
boom pivots and telescopes at several points,
enabling the operator to easily maneuver
stones or vaults into position while avoiding
obstructions between the truck and the burial
site. Traditional equipment, such as small
trucks and trailers equipped with overhead
monorail systems, don’t allow you to position
the load directly over the grave site and risk
damaging nearby markers. Trucks equipped
with corner-mounted service cranes give you
the same problem. Also, the service crane
typically requires a steep boom angle for
heavier loads - not good where trees or other
overhead obstructions exist. Additionally,
these methods all use winches, resulting in
more manual intervention due to load sway all of which consume your valuable time.
HIAB knuckleboom
cranes can be folded
away behind the cab or
mounted at the rear of
a straight truck - saving
valuable load space.
Help protect the
environment with Hiab
HIAB knuckleboom cranes are
extremely efficient on the job
site, thanks to a high performing
control system which saves on fuel
consumption. Our available load
sensing control or “on demand”
system is even more frugal and can
result in sigificant fuel savings over
time.
Additionally, our manufacturing
process uses the latest in capture,
scrubbing, and recycling technology.
At Hiab, we are proud to say that we
are constantly striving to minimize our
impact on the environment.
XS Drive remote control
gives you complete
mastery
The HIAB XS Drive remote control
makes you more efficient by giving
you freedom of movement and the
best possible position to view the
load. This leads to safer and more
efficient deliveries and can eliminate
the need for a second worker.
Ergonomically designed, the XS Drive
offers fluid radio communication,
controlling up to 24 fully proportional
functions.
Overload Protection (OLP)
“For handling concrete
burial vaults throughout our
nationwide network, we have
totally accepted the HIAB
crane as our most reliable
piece of equipment. The
ease of handling and placing
vaults on-site has proven an
overwhelming success. The
savings of manpower and
time has been unprecedented
throughout our company.”
Joseph Suhor III, Chairman/CEO

OLP is a system that monitors the
crane’s capacity. During operation,
if you reach 90% of the crane’s
capacity, the OLP system will give
you a visual and audible alert. Should
you reach capacity, the crane will only
allow you to do “radius decreasing”
functions.
OLP is very discrete, running in the
background, and is never intrusive but it is ever vigilant and always on
guard for your safety, should it be
called upon.
