Hiab tailors crane frames in the Netherlands
21 February 2018Hiab, part of Cargotec, is opening a new factory installation and competence centre in Meppel, the Netherlands. The centre will offer FrameWorks subframes, truck bodies and complete vehicle solutions.
Opening in the first quarter of 2018 it is the global competence centre for Hiab FrameWorks installations and kits.
"In 2016 we introduced FrameWorks, a modular system that provides the customer with a pre-manufactured, ready-to-install subframe that matches the chosen truck” says Marcel Boxem, Hiab’s director for heavy range loader cranes.
“In developing the concept we wanted to pay special attention to overall quality and safety, to reduce installation time and to have the products ready for our customers' use more quickly. At the beginning, this new concept was available for our heavy range loader cranes, but we have broadened the offering with solutions for the Hiab medium and light range of cranes as well as options for the Loglift and Jonsered forestry and recycling and also for Multilift demountables."
The new installation centre provides the customers with fully calculated, designed and tested installations as well as a high level of quality and safety due to very controlled installation which, says Hiab, will give the best possible performance from the equipment.
