Hiab scaffolding solutions
From yard to facade. Keep scaffolding moving.
Scaffolding is a material-flow job
A delivery rarely ends at the curb. Material must arrive in the right order, unload without blocking the site, move around the building, and feed the erection crew. As the scaffold rises, horizontal distribution becomes vertical supply—and during teardown, the whole flow runs in reverse.
What decides your day is flexibility: handling awkward bundles, tight access, and changing site layouts. The smartest setup makes your delivery team fully independent—using your own equipment to distribute on the ground, and a crane when the job needs height.
From yard to facade. Hiab keeps scaffolding moving
Scaffolding crews don't get paid to wait for material. Frames, standards, ledgers, and boards must move smoothly from the yard to the site, around the building, and right up to the workface.
Hiab puts both capabilities on one truck: MOFFETT for independent unloading and fast ground distribution, and HIAB loader cranes for lifting material exactly where it’s needed. One delivery concept. Complete control from truck to facade.
How Hiab turns site challenges into capabilities
Reaching beyond the truck
Tight access, soft ground, and site obstacles often stop delivery vehicles far from the workface. A MOFFETT truck-mounted forklift gives your driver total ground mobility—unloading independently and navigating rough terrain to place material directly at the base of the structure.
Supplying around and above
Scaffolding demands simultaneous horizontal movement on the ground and vertical supply as the structure grows. A HIAB loader crane delivers the precise reach and height needed to lift heavy bundles straight to the upper workface, eliminating manual double-handling and keeping installation fast.
Eliminating site bottlenecks
Waiting on a shared site telehandler or crane stalls your drivers and leaves erection crews standing idle on paid time. Complete equipment independence means your delivery team arrives fully equipped to offload, place material, and depart strictly on your schedule.
Managing the two-way cycle
Scaffolding logistics run in two directions, where teardowns demand the exact same speed and efficiency as outbound drops. Rapid equipment setup streamlines both initial deliveries and inbound dismantling runs, keeping your entire material flow moving without friction.
Two complementary tools. One seamless flow.
Yard → transport → unload → distribute → lift → erect → dismantle → collect.
Hiab can support more of this cycle without forcing one machine to do every task. A MOFFETT truck-mounted forklift travels with the delivery vehicle and can be deployed at the site, giving the driver independent unloading capability and a mobile way to distribute scaffold material around the building. A HIAB loader crane stays with the same vehicle concept and adds the reach needed to lift material over obstacles or vertically toward the erection team.
By carrying both capabilities on your vehicle, you eliminate reliance on site equipment and gain complete control over your material flow—from truck to workface.
The complete platform solution
Unlike standard market offerings that limit you to a single crane and forklift configuration, HIAB offers a fully integrated, modular platform that adapts to your fleet's specific demands.
HIAB loader cranes
When ground access ends, the crane takes over. HIAB loader cranes combine transport and lifting on the same vehicle, allowing scaffold material to be lifted over obstacles, positioned at height or supplied closer to the erection team. Long outreach, responsive control and stability technology turn the delivery truck into a mobile lifting resource.
MOFFETT truck-mounted forklifts
MOFFETT travels with the truck for independent unloading and on-site distribution. Selected 4-way models can also move long scaffold bundles sideways, making it easier to reach erection areas through narrow or congested sites.
MULTILIFT hooklifts
MULTILIFT adds flexible container handling to the scaffolding operation, making it easier to move tools, materials and dismantled scaffold between yard and site. Fast loading, unloading and container exchange help keep trucks productive while adapting to changing transport needs.

Smart features that keeps scaffolding moving
HIAB Crane Tip Control (CTC)
Crane Tip Control simplifies the operator's task by coordinating crane movements around the desired crane-tip path. That can be valuable when repeatedly supplying material vertically, horizontally or reaching around the structure.
Engine Control by Hiab
Engine Control automatically adjusts engine speed to crane demand, helping reduce unnecessary fuel use and noise during repetitive scaffolding lifts.
MOFFETT all-wheel-drive
Scaffolding sites are rarely warehouse floors. MOFFETT's jobsite mobility allows material to continue across demanding ground conditions and closer to the scaffold rather than stopping wherever the truck can park.
MOFFETT 4-way travel
Four-way steering allows long loads to be carried along their length. For scaffold bundles, this reduces the space needed to turn and gives the operator more options around buildings, barriers and stored material.
Keep your operation running
Scaffolding crews operate on tight project schedules—a broken crane or down forklift doesn't just stop the truck, it stalls the entire build. Hiab Services help you maintain reliable performance through preventive maintenance, connected equipment insights and operator training.
