This 2005 Hiab 255K-2 HiPro is a mounted knuckle boom crane — sometimes referred to as a loader crane or articulating crane — designed to load, unload, and precisely place heavy materials directly from a truck-mounted position. Hiab is a globally recognised manufacturer of load-handling equipment, known for producing truck-mounted cranes and material-handling solutions that serve construction, logistics, and specialty freight industries. This particular unit is configured as a wallboard boom, purpose-built for the handling and placement of sheet materials such as drywall and gypsum board on job sites.
The crane is mounted on a 2005 Mack tri-axle wallboard truck that forms the complete working package. The truck is powered by a Mack ASET engine rated at 400 horsepower and is equipped with an engine brake (Jake brake) for controlled deceleration under heavy loads. The transmission is an 8LL configuration, providing eight low-range gears for loaded operation across varied terrain. Front axle capacity is rated at 20,000 lb, the rear tandem axles are rated at 44,000 lb, and the tag axle is rated at 18,000 lb, giving the combination a substantial total gross vehicle weight capability. The chassis features a camelback suspension and a double-frame construction, both of which contribute to the structural rigidity demanded by crane-mounted wallboard delivery work.
The truck has accumulated 473,154 miles and has been serviced prior to listing. The unit is stocked under reference number 029814 and is located in Westminster, Vermont.
