A HIAB licence certifies that you are trained to operate a lorry-mounted crane, known as a HIAB (Hydraulic Integrated Arm and Boom). This licence is essential for jobs that involve loading, transporting, and offloading goods using a vehicle-mounted crane.

To obtain a HIAB licence, you need to complete a HIAB training course. At Craig Baker Driver Training, our comprehensive 2-day course covers crane safety, load weight calculation, and HIAB crane operation, providing you with the necessary skills and knowledge.

A HIAB licence is valid for five years. Before your certification expires, you must complete refresher training and assessment to maintain your qualification.

With a HIAB licence, you can pursue various roles in the construction and logistics industries, including local delivery driver, crane operator, and material handler. This certification opens doors to numerous other positions requiring HIAB operation skills.

HIAB licence holders can earn on average £5,000 more per year than standard HGV licence holders. This increased earning potential makes obtaining a HIAB licence a worthwhile investment in your career.

A HIAB licence allows you to operate lorry-mounted cranes equipped with various attachments, such as hooks, brick grabs, clamshell buckets, grapplers, and pallet forks, enabling you to handle a wide range of tasks.
