Crane lorries we buy

People say “HIAB” for any lorry-mounted crane, so we buy all makes, including HIAB, Palfinger, Fassi, Atlas, PM, Effer and Cormach:

  • Builders’ merchant dropsides with a crane behind the cab
  • Rear-mount crane lorries for steel, glass and machinery
  • Brick grab cranes and timber cranes
  • Heavy-lift cranes with fly-jibs, winches and radio remote controls

Pricing the crane

The crane can be worth more than the truck it’s sitting on, so we take care pricing it:

  • Size and reach: the crane’s tonne-metre rating, its extensions and any fly-jib
  • Condition: leaks, worn slew gear, play in the boom sections and stabiliser legs
  • Controls: a working radio remote control adds value
  • Paperwork: a recent LOLER thorough examination helps, though it isn’t essential

A short video of the crane going through its movements, sent on WhatsApp, is the best way to get an accurate price.

Questions sellers ask

Anything else? Call or WhatsApp us on 07402 295831.

Do you buy a crane lorry if the crane has failed its LOLER?

Yes. Tell us what failed and what the inspector said. We price the truck and crane in their current state, allowing for the repair.

Is a HIAB the same as a crane lorry?

HIAB is a crane brand, but people use the name for any lorry-mounted crane. We buy all makes.

Can you price the crane from photos?

Mostly, yes. Photos show us the crane’s make, size and condition, and a short video of it working fills in the rest. Include a photo of the crane’s data plate, which shows the model and its rating.
