The HIAB iQ.958 HiPro is a 90 tonne metre heavy range crane. It is the second model in the iQ range with the advanced technology platform originally introduced with the HIAB iQ.1188 HiPro.

“The HIAB iQ.958 HiPro is a technologically advanced crane for its category, offering great performance for a wide variety of lifts both in horizontal and vertical positions,” explained Marcel Boxem, director, global product management, loader cranes heavy & super heavy, Hiab.

“The crane offers among the best in class lifting performance when using the eighth extension in combination with the JIB with six extensions (JIB 155Q). This maximises the available JIB power to provide superior load capability,” he added.

The HIAB iQ.958 HiPro builds on the V12-Power boom shape design for the crane and the JIB, resulting in a compact crane with a side section of under two metres that can be installed on smaller trucks within the 4 axle 32 tonnes gross vehicle weight category.

The new SPACEevo control system features safety and productivity features such as Variable Stability Logic PLUS that calculates the stability according to the position of the stabiliser legs and the actual total weight of the truck.

The DLC-S (Dynamic Load Chart) lets the operator set up the crane quicker by simulating the load capacity before opening the stabilisers, avoiding lost time in finding the correct stabiliser position for maximum lifting.

The standard XS Drive remote control can be substituted with the new optional CombiDrive 4 remote control which includes new safety features such as Confirm View to find the best field of view, three high definition and bright colour displays and a long-lasting battery with single-user operator personalisation settings.

The new models will also be offered in non-CE versions, equipped with the control system Space X4 and the optional CombiDrive 3 remote control.
