MULTILIFT Talon: Fully automated hooklift operation

Designed to enhance operational efficiency while prioritising crew safety, the MULTILIFT Talon enables a single operator to load and unload ISO containers and flatracks without leaving the truck cab.

The system offers 100% in-cabin operation, allowing handling tasks to be completed from the protection of the vehicle. The hooklift is also available installed on the latest TATRA FORCE chassis.

HIAB 1622 ATF: Compact loader crane with strategic mobility in mind

The HIAB 1622 ATF loader crane builds on the proven HIAB 2222 ATF platform, combining substantial lifting performance with a compact profile and extended outreach.

A foldable column design facilitates transport by rail or air and makes the crane suitable for installation on vehicles equipped with roof-mounted weapon stations.

HIAB JMIC Top Handler improves container handling efficiency

Developed for use with Joint Modular Intermodal Containers (JMICs), the HIAB JMIC Top Handler is designed to improve the efficiency of logistics operations centred on 20ft ISO containers and STANAG flatracks.

Used alongside a loader crane, the attachment enables rapid and safe handling of JMIC containers. The system is available in both manual and hydraulic versions to suit different operational requirements.
