HIR Ltd Invests in New HIAB Lorry to Support Commercial & Industrial Projects

At HIR Ltd, investing in the right equipment is an important part of delivering efficient, well-managed commercial and industrial projects.

We have invested in a new HIAB lorry to support our work across a range of services, including commercial strip outs, demolition, machinery removal, industrial clearance and scrap metal recycling.

The addition strengthens our in-house operational capabilities and gives us another practical resource to support the handling and movement of heavy and bulky materials during our projects.

Our HIAB lorry is part of our own operational fleet. It is used to support HIR projects and is not available for standalone HIAB hire.

What Is a HIAB Lorry?

A HIAB lorry is a vehicle fitted with a hydraulic loader crane, allowing suitable loads to be lifted and moved using equipment mounted on the vehicle itself.

Depending on the load, site conditions and lifting requirements, a HIAB lorry can help with moving heavy or bulky materials, loading items for transport and supporting site logistics.

For commercial and industrial contractors, this type of equipment can be particularly useful when dealing with machinery, metalwork, building materials and other items that cannot be handled easily by hand.

At HIR, our HIAB lorry supports the wider work we carry out for commercial and industrial clients.

How Our HIAB Lorry Supports HIR Projects

The vehicle is intended to support our existing services rather than operate as a separate hire service. Its value comes from how it can be used as part of a wider project.

1. Commercial Strip Outs

Commercial strip outs can involve removing internal fixtures, equipment, fittings and materials before a property is refurbished, reconfigured or prepared for its next use.

Depending on the project, some materials may be heavy, awkward to handle or difficult to move through a building. Our HIAB lorry can support the handling and removal of suitable loads as part of the wider works.

HIR undertakes commercial strip outs for a variety of premises, helping clients prepare their properties for the next stage of development or occupation.

2. Industrial Machinery Removal

Removing industrial machinery can require careful planning, suitable lifting equipment and a clear understanding of the site’s access and handling requirements.

Our HIAB lorry provides an additional resource for suitable lifting and loading operations associated with machinery removal projects.

Every job is different, and the appropriate lifting method depends on factors such as the machinery’s weight, dimensions, lifting points, site access and ground conditions. Where specialist lifting arrangements are needed, these must be assessed as part of the project planning.

3. Site and Factory Clearance

Industrial and factory clearances can generate a wide range of materials, from redundant equipment and metalwork to bulky items that need to be removed from site.

Having access to our own HIAB lorry can help us manage suitable loading and material-handling requirements within our wider clearance operations.

This supports HIR’s work to clear commercial and industrial premises efficiently, with materials handled and directed for appropriate reuse, recovery, recycling or disposal where suitable.

4. Demolition and Enabling Works

Demolition and enabling projects can involve the removal and handling of substantial quantities of materials and equipment.

Our HIAB lorry can support suitable loading and movement tasks associated with these projects, subject to the site’s requirements and the load involved.

It forms part of the wider equipment and planning considerations that help HIR deliver commercial and industrial works safely and efficiently.

5. Scrap Metal Recycling and Material Recovery

Where projects generate scrap metal and other recoverable materials, appropriate segregation and handling can support their onward recovery and recycling.

Our HIAB lorry can assist with the movement and loading of suitable materials as part of HIR’s project operations. The handling method will depend on the material, its condition, its weight and the requirements of the site.

This complements our scrap metal recycling activities and our wider approach to managing materials removed during commercial and industrial projects.

One Contractor, More Control Over Project Logistics

Commercial and industrial projects often involve several connected activities. A strip out, for example, may also require equipment removal, material handling, site clearance and the management of recyclable materials.

HIR provides a range of services that can support these requirements. Our HIAB lorry adds another operational resource to that capability.

Using our own vehicle where appropriate can give us greater control over the planning of suitable loading and transport activities within our projects. It also helps us consider material handling alongside the other work taking place on site.

The right approach will always depend on the project scope, access arrangements, lifting requirements and programme. Our aim is to plan these elements as part of the overall job rather than treat them as isolated tasks.

Investing in Equipment to Support Our Customers

Investing in equipment is about more than adding another vehicle to the fleet. It is about strengthening the resources available to deliver our work.

Our new HIAB lorry supports HIR’s ongoing commercial and industrial activities and complements our existing services in strip outs, demolition, machinery removal, site clearance and scrap metal recycling.

We will also be sharing photographs of the vehicle and its role within our operations as it supports suitable projects.

Please note: HIR Ltd does not offer its HIAB lorry for standalone hire. The vehicle is an operational resource used as part of our own commercial and industrial projects.
