Hiab to launch the new Z-series crane - the 'Swiss army knife' of cranes

CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 29
MAY 2015 AT 9 A.M. EEST
Hiab, part of Cargotec, is delighted to
announce the launch of the HIAB Z-HiPro 191 and HIAB Z-PRO 171.
Part of the new HIAB Z-series, the cranes feature the ability to be
folded into a Z position and parked behind the drivers cab with the
tools still attached. This unique attribute makes them the only
models available on the market to be fully optimised for transport,
whilst meeting the latest legislation.
The Z-series cranes have been designed
for applications where speed, efficiency and a high number of load
cycles are typically required. For example, customers handling
digging, filling, waste handling and other light tool operations
will now get the job done faster. With a clean and intelligently
designed boom system - where the hose-routing and chain driven
extension system are internally mounted - the result is a fast and
highly efficient crane. The HPL link between the crane tip and tool
also provides protection of the hoses, which prevents down time and
unnecessary expenses.
Carl Gustaf
Göransson, Senior Vice President, Sales and Markets, says:
"With the launch of the Z-series, we are filling yet another
important gap and broadening our product range. This is an
important step for us in our ambition to become the industry
benchmark in customer satisfaction."
The Z-series are the only cranes
available that remain within the measures of the truck cabin whilst
in a parked position with the tools still attached. This makes the
time-consuming job of attaching and detaching tools to the crane
tip unnecessary. The new design also means that it is now much
easier for the driver to cover the load during transport and comply
with the latest legislation.
"The Z-series cranes are 'generalists',
and suitable for any task imaginable - you could call them the
'Swiss army knife' of cranes. They have been developed with our
customers' needs clearly in mind, providing fast and precise
control. With a tough design that reinforces the legendary HIAB
quality, they deliver consistent and reliable productivity,"
Göransson continues.
Hans
Ohlsson, Director, medium range cranes at Hiab also
comments: "The compact design of the Z-series allows an easy fit
onto modern compact trucks with limited installation space. The
cranes are fast and precise thanks to the features of the new HiPro
control systems and the well-tuned hydraulic system producing high
pressure oil flow. They are well prepared for intensive work
cycles, particularly when high speed is required, and
simultaneously provide high precision."
"We know our customers very well, and
they have high demands on their cranes. That's why the new Z-series
provides operators with the highest quality and performance
possible," he concludes.
