Professional HIAB Hire in Preston
We are a Manchester-based crane lorry and transport company serving Central Lancashire and beyond. Our fleet of crane-equipped trucks covers PR postcodes with fast response times and competitive pricing.
Preston is Central Lancashire’s principal city and a major logistics and distribution hub, positioned at the junction of the M6, M55 and M65 motorways. The city has significant construction activity driven by UCLan’s campus expansion and wider city centre regeneration. The Riversway Docklands and Walton Summit industrial areas generate regular HIAB hire requirements for container deliveries, plant movements and welfare unit placements.
The M55 extends our coverage west towards the Fylde Coast — Blackpool, Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood — where seasonal events, leisure development and coastal construction create distinct HIAB requirements. We cover all PR postcodes across Preston, Leyland, Chorley, Bamber Bridge and the wider Central Lancashire area, typically reaching Preston city centre in under 40 minutes from our Manchester base.

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