Hiab will deliver 50 loader cranes
Hiab has received an order for 50 loader cranes from Shanghai Longcheng Special Purpose Vehicle Co. The value of the order is approximately EUR1 million (USD1.15 million) and the equipment will be delivered by the end of 2017.
 
The HIAB 111B-2CLX loader crane model represents a versatile tool with a 10 T capacity. It is built for tough working conditions, yet it delivers loads with high precision.  

"We are very happy to receive this order from the competitive Chinese market," says Walter Wang, head of sales and services for Hiab in China. The deal strengthens Hiab's cooperation with Longcheng in the environment segment in the future.
 
"We can use the cranes to lift the hard lifting containers from the huge underground dustbin (and) transfer them to the sanitation station. The high quality of the product, good service network and offering were the reasons we decided to choose HIAB loader cranes," says a spokesman for Guangdong Sanitation station.   
 
Shanghai Longcheng Special Purpose Vehicle Co. was founded in November 2013, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Longcheng High-tech Environmental Co.

In 2016, Hiab delivered over 40 loader cranes and 27 demountables to Shanghai Longcheng.
 
Separately, Hiab has secured an order for over 600 HIAB Loader Cranes from Tata Motors, India. The order follows the successful delivery of over 1,200 HIAB Loader Cranes to the customer in 2016, and deliveries are due to commence in the third quarter of 2017.
 
The trucks and cranes will be used by The Indian Defence Forces for transportation and loading/unloading of supplies, spares and other operational equipment. 
 
Hiab says this order has established the company as the leading loader crane supplier in India.
 
"Our success is a result of Hiab's commitment to provide the very best product and services to the Indian Army. We have been working tirelessly to ensure that the previous demanding program was delivered on schedule," says S. Srinivas, director for Hiab Government Business Operations India.
