Lorry Loader Crane Certification

Our ITSSAR & RTITB accredited training on Lorry Loader Crane will give you a certificate to operate what is commonly known as a Hiab.  Hiab is a manufacturer’s name (like Palfinger or Atlas) however as Hiab were one of the first manufacturers to develop lorry loader cranes, their name is the one that a lot of people use to describe the equipment.

Lorry Loader Crane certificates are required for variety of work, for example at stone masons, steel fabricators and street furniture installations as well as timber merchants, builders’ merchants and roofing suppliers.

Many drivers gain a certificate themselves before approaching employers.  However, we also provide training for companies so their technicians and installers get upskilled to meet developments such as new or bigger vehicles.

Our training can be On-Site using clients vehicle machinery and equipment or  we can provide all facilities and vehicle fitted with remote controls and brick grab at our own training centre in Park Royal, London, NW10 7AR
