Frequently Asked Questions
What does HIAB stand for?
HIAB is an abbreviation for the Swedish hydraulic crane company Hydrauliska Industri AB. This abbreviation is now used to refer to any truck-mounted crane or lorry loader.
It is typically used to move goods or large loads that would either be too heavy or take too long if moved by site staff. This can include filled containers or building equipment.
As part of HIAB training Manchester-wide, you will gain the skills and knowledge needed to:
- Safely load and unload absolutely anything
- Handle HIABs according to relevant legislation
- Use specific attachments
- Adhere to safe operating practices and procedures
- And much more!
To book HIAB training near you or ask a question, call or email us today at contact@hgvtrainingnetwork.com and our team will get back to you as soon as they can.
How much is HIAB training in Manchester?
We would love to offer one price for all learners – but it’s simply not possible.
This is because all training courses from HGV Training Network are bespoke, taking into consideration our students’ differing levels of driving experience and past qualifications, all of which can affect the duration and the price of HIAB training.
To find out how much HIAB training would be for you, contact us and we will work with you to create the ideal training package for you – which includes absolutely everything you need to get out on the road.
Can you drive a HIAB HGV like a normal HGV?
Absolutely! HIAB HGVs come in a range of styles depending on the manufacturer but they generally still have space for goods transportation.
For this reason, they are handled just like standard HGV until you need to use the lifting equipment.
This also means that if you train to become a qualified HIAB driver, you could still drive standard HGVs. It could be needed as part of a hybrid role within your company or as extra work as overtime – either way, you can.
HIAB training in Manchester or across the wider UK gives you further career options and doesn’t mean that earlier qualifications no longer stand, it just gives you more earning potential!
For more information about HIAB training, email us at contact@hgvtrainingnetwork.com and we’ll be in touch as soon as we can.
Why would businesses invest in HIAB HGVs?
Used widely throughout construction, haulage, utility work, or shipping containers, HIABs are incredibly valuable for a vast array of industries.
As a mobile, truck-mounted crane, they allow for unloading straight from the back of the lorry. They also take up less space, can make deliveries faster, and reduce the risk of injury and accidents – something that is especially important for city centres or equally built-up locations.
Standard cranes, such as tower or crawler cranes, are typically stationary or require separate transportation. Then, once in place, they can be very large, need a lot of room to work, and create more traffic and delays on sites.
For this reason, HIAB HGVs and skilled HIAB handlers are in increasingly high demand! If you are keen to use this to your advantage, choose your preferred location and then contact us for a bespoke start date!
Can HIAB training be completed quickly?
The duration of HIAB training in Manchester depends on the learner and:
- How much driving experience they have
- What driving qualifications they already have – including if they already hold an HGV licence
- Their confidence levels and how quickly they can pick things up
For this reason, training can take anywhere from a fortnight to a few months to complete, it just depends on each individual.
However, the only way to know is to get an estimated training timeline, so call us or fill in our enquiry form and we’ll get you into your new career as soon as possible.
How long will my HIAB training be valid for when I pass?
As with all HGV or professional driving qualifications, once you have earned and passed your training it will be valid for the duration of your career.
However, you will need to complete Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) training as part of your HIAB training, as well as periodically every five years, to drive professionally.
To find out more, email us at contact@hgvtrainingnetwork.com or fill in our enquiry form and our team can offer bespoke advice for your situation.
