Walter Payton Power Equipment (WPPE) announced it is now an authorized dealer for Hiab equipment, expanding its lifting and material handling offerings across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Kentucky.
As the Midwest's premier crane distributor, WPPE has been selected as a key Midwest partner for Hiab as it launches its new dealer network. This addition strengthens WPPE's commitment to delivering high-performance lifting solutions backed by trusted service and support.
Among the featured models now available are the HIAB K-HiPro 425 drywall crane and the HIAB X-HiPro 352, knuckle boom crane, both designed to provide advanced performance, efficiency and operator-focused technology, according to the company.
The HIAB K-HiPro 425 drywall crane is known for its high lifting capacity and fast load cycles, making it the ideal crane choice for handling drywall materials. The HIAB X-HiPro 352 is a heavy segment loader crane with an advanced remote-controlled system and an outreach of 74 ft. 5 in., ideal for heavy-duty construction and infrastructure projects.
Hiab cranes stand out for features including the semi-automatic folding (SAF) system and the automatic greasing system. The SAF system enhances convenience and safety by allowing operators to fold and unfold the crane using a single control lever on the remote, eliminating the need to manually operate each hydraulic function individually. This streamlines operation, reduces setup time and minimizes potential errors, according to the company.
Additionally, the automatic greasing system ensures that moving and pivoting components remain properly lubricated without frequent manual intervention. By automating lubrication, the system reduces maintenance time, supports longer equipment life and maximizes uptime in the field, according to the company.
"We're excited to add Hiab to our portfolio of industry-leading brands," said Mike Noonan of WPPE sales. "This partnership allows us to provide our customers with even more advanced lifting solutions, supported by the service and expertise they've come to expect from Walter Payton Power Equipment."
With this new product line, WPPE continues to strengthen its position as a trusted provider of innovative crane and lifting solutions throughout the Midwest.
