Professional HIAB Hire in Blackburn
We are a Manchester-based crane lorry and transport company serving East Lancashire and beyond. Our fleet of crane-equipped trucks covers BB postcodes with fast response times and competitive pricing.
Blackburn with Darwen is a compact but economically active borough with a strong manufacturing and distribution base. The town’s industrial estates — Shadsworth, Whitebirk, Intack and the Innovation Enterprise Zone along the M65 corridor — generate regular HIAB hire requirements for plant movements, cabin deliveries and container handling. Darwen’s industrial areas and the expanding logistics parks around junction 4 of the M65 are also regular destinations.
East Lancashire’s mill towns — Accrington, Great Harwood, Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley — are within our coverage area from the Blackburn base. We reach Blackburn town centre from Miles Platting in approximately 30 minutes via the M65. BB postcodes across Blackburn, Darwen, Accrington and the surrounding towns are all within our regular operating area.

FAQs
Common Questions
What is HIAB hire and how does it differ from crane hire in Blackburn?
A HIAB is a lorry-mounted crane that drives directly to your Blackburn site. Unlike a conventional mobile crane, the vehicle is self-contained — no separate transport is required — so it is faster to mobilise and often more cost-effective for construction, industrial and logistics jobs across the area.
How quickly can you mobilise a HIAB to Blackburn?
We are based in Miles Platting, within easy reach of your site. In most cases we can have a vehicle with you on the same day or next day. For urgent requirements, call us on 0330 107 9400 and we will advise on the fastest available response.
Are your operators certified?
Yes. The vast majority of our operators hold CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) and CITB certification, and RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statements) are available on request. We carry full public liability insurance and are approved contractors for several blue-chip organisations and construction companies operating across the region.
