X-CLX 088B-3 TRUCK CRANE

Sometimes, a basic workhorse crane is all you need

Sometimes, simpler is better. The HIAB X-CLX 088B-3 truck-mounted crane is a strong, balanced workhorse. It lifts 8.3 tm to 13.7 m., perfect for tough everyday jobs when you want great, reliable equipment to get the job done. It’s simple and easy to operate—a bonus for straightforward lifting and loading needs where you don’t need added electronic systems. Its B-Link boom system has three hydraulic extensions but no mechanical links. It’s fast and efficient, especially for quick lift and load jobs where speed and manoeuvrability are a bonus.

But there’s nothing basic about even the simplest HIAB crane

The HIAB X-CLX 088B-3 is exceptionally stable. The column is positioned close to the center line, rack and pinion slewing housing, and 15-foot manual tilt outrigger legs allow you to easily lift from either side of the truck with equal outreach. Manual side controls are at the base of the crane for easy access. The X-CLX 088B-3, like all HIAB lightweight cranes, features load-handling valves on all boom cylinders for precise and controlled load handling, and an integrated hose failure function and port relief valves, which prevent overloading your crane. The HIAB VALVE 80 makes work faster and more productive by enabling you to perform multiple functions simultaneously.

The benefits of HIAB CLX cross-control

HIAB CLX cross-control is the ultimate in manual crane control systems. It makes operating the X-CLX 088B-3 articulated crane simple, easy to use and highly productive, with levers at the crane base and standard sequencing on both sides. XSDrive Lite radio remote control enables you to control all crane functions, including four levels and two outrigger functions, via menu selection. It includes a PSB box with an emergency stop button, two batteries, and a charger, and you can factory order a 12-volt converter.

Options to make your lifts even easier

If your business needs just a bit more, upgrade your HIAB X-CLX 088B-3 truck crane with full hydraulic outrigger extensions, fifth and sixth function hose and pipe kits with quick connects, or a Rotzler hydraulic winch with a 2200 lb. or 4400 lb. capacity (matched to the crane). It’s mounted under the outer boom and includes a wire rope, load hook, downhaul weight and snatch block.

Features that mean a longer life and lower lifetime costs

A slewing mechanism oil bath reduces wear and keeps repair and service costs low. JIC couplings, extra-large, easily replaceable slide pads and easy-access parts help you stay on the job and get back on the job quickly if service is needed. And high-tensile steel and state-of-the-art nDurance™ anti-corrosion nanotech coating keep your crane in top condition under any conditions— part of why HIAB cranes have the highest resale value in the industry and set the bar as the Canadian Industry Standard (CIS).

Plus, all HIAB crane models are backed by over 70 years of HIAB crane experience and expertise, as well as ML-Truck Equipment’s comprehensive truck-mounted sales and service coverage across BC.
