Hiab has entered into an agreement to acquire the US demountables manufacturer Galfab, which makes rolloff hoists and related equipment for the domestic waste industry. The acquisition broadens Hiab’s demountable portfolio while Galfab’s equipment will be included in Hiab’s nationwide US sales and service network.
Galfab will become part of Hiab’s Demountables, Forestry & Recycling Cranes division. The division includes hooklift and skiploader demountables sold under the Multilift brand, as well as Jonsered recycling cranes, known as material handlers in the US, and Loglift forestry cranes.
The acquisition expands Hiab’s US manufacturing footprint that previously included the multi-assembly unit for Waltco tail lifts in Streetsboro, Ohio.
