Professional HIAB Hire in Lancaster
We are a Manchester-based crane lorry and transport company serving North Lancashire and beyond. Our fleet of crane-equipped trucks covers LA postcodes with fast response times and competitive pricing.
Lancaster sits at the northern tip of Lancashire where the M6 crosses the River Lune, making it the gateway to the Lake District, Cumbria and Scotland. The city has a university-driven economy with significant construction activity, and the adjacent Morecambe Bay area has substantial offshore and coastal energy industry activity. Lancaster and Morecambe are regular destinations for our HIAB fleet — container deliveries, modular building installations and utility infrastructure are common job types.
North of Lancaster, our coverage extends to Carnforth and the South Lakeland boundary. South towards the Fylde, we cover the LA1–LA5 postcode band. Travel time from our Miles Platting base to Lancaster is approximately 55–65 minutes via the M6, making it a viable same-day destination for urgent requirements. We quote openly on travel time for all north Lancashire jobs.

FAQs
Common Questions
What is HIAB hire and how does it differ from crane hire in Lancaster?
A HIAB is a lorry-mounted crane that drives directly to your Lancaster 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 Lancaster?
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.
