Crane Hire & HIAB Services
As one of the largest steel fabrication and supply companies in Watford, Geo Ausden has needed to invest in technology that makes even the most cumbersome steel products available for delivery to sites across London and the Home Counties. To achieve this, we complete all of our deliveries using a HIAB equipped lorry that can efficiently and safely load and unload steel to driveways, gardens and scaffolds at height.
If you’re looking to order a large quantity of UKCA marked steel for your next project, you should consider this delivery option. Continue reading this page to learn more about it, or click the button below to send us a message and our team can answer any additional questions that you have.
What is a HIAB Lorry?
HIAB is a common term used to describe a lorry that has been mounted with a crane. The acronym for this comes from the company Hydrauliska Industri AB, who helped pioneer this type of machinery.
HIAB lorries are commonly used to deliver heavy materials to construction sites because these vehicles are multi-functioning, often being able to replace mobile cranes or forklifts on sites. We’d recommend this if you’re looking to use our steel fabrication services to request large quantities of products. If you’re after this particular product, click the link below.

Geo Ausden can use an 18-tonne HIAB equipped flatbed lorry to complete delivery to sites located across London and the Home Counties. The lorry’s substantial payload and 45ft reach remote-controlled crane help to make even the most complex steel projects much more accessible.
Our HIAB lorry can safely and quickly unload all types of steel onto your site, with the lorry’s lifting capability ranging from 0.5 tonnes if the crane is operating at full 45ft reach to 3.5 tonnes when the crane doesn’t need to be extended. We can also use this technology to provide scaffolding at height when required, providing essential assistance to the installation and security of any steel products you’ve ordered.
Geo Ausden ensures that all of our drivers are both ALLMI and slinging accredited to follow all site lifting requirements, meaning you don’t have to worry about our delivery capabilities.
