Hiab XS 322 Range 195,000231,000 ft-lbs

A crane customized to your needs

The Hiab XS 322 sets a new standard in its capacity class. It

gives your business the best possible performance in terms
of reach, lifting capability, and low-weight construction.
The crane is constructed to withstand high-stress tasks and
deliver a long service life. Large slidepads decrease wear on
the boom system while JIC couplings shorten the cranes
service time. The Hiab XS 322 is controlled via manual
levers or remote control and can be delivered with the Duo,
HiDuo, or HiPro control system.

X-function
Angling the outer boom upwards relative to
the inner boom gives greater accessibility in
confined spaces.

E-link

High-torque slewing

An inner boom link makes it possible to lift a

heavier load close to the column, and the outer
boom link helps in lifting to higher positions
such as scaffolding.

A heavy-duty, high-torque slewing mechanism ensures safe and efficient operation,

even on inclines or slopes.

Hoses run internally

Load-holding valve
The load-holding valve is a combined
hose-failure and load-holding valve, which is
mounted on the cylinder.

The hoses are routed internally in the loader

body, also in other parts of the crane, where
they are out of harms way, thus reducing
maintenance costs.

VSL

Oil bath

Thanks to the VSL function drivers can give

their full attention to driving the crane. The
cranes intelligent system (SPACE) automatically
takes care of the stability something that
improves safety for you and those around you.

On most Hiab cranes over 43,000 ft-lbs

capacity, the slewing mechanism is enclosed
in an oil bath. This keeps the slewing
mechanism in great condition, year after
year, ensuring that the crane can be used
for extremely demanding applications in
complete confidence.

Hexagonal boom profile

Side supports for stability

The hexagonal profile ensures that the boom

is always held in perfect balance, thanks to its
shape and large support surface. The profile
also minimizes boom deflection, thus reducing
maintenance costs and increasing efficiency.

Side supports attached to each boom extension

stabilize the boom laterally and minimize the
play. Most Hiab crane models can be delivered
with extension side supports.

JIC couplings

Large slide pads

Attachable tools

JIC couplings are standard on most Hiab cranes.

They ensure easy and secure coupling, yet are
very simple to disconnect for service.

The hexagonal profile enables the use of larger

slide pads. This makes the extensions move
more smoothly and reduces mechanical wear
on the boom.

A wide range of attachable tools are available

for your Hiab crane. These enable you to carry
out many different tasks.

HiDuo control system

Pump Flow Distribution (PFD)

The HiDuo control system is based upon the Valve 80.

HiDuo comes with the XSDrive remote control and the
SPACE 4000 intelligence system. Apart from the benefits
of remote crane operation, SPACE 4000 also provides
Automatic Duty Control (ADC), and the Hiab unique
Automatic Speed Control (ASC). The ASC function provides
a continuous, ultra-smooth increase of capacity.

Hiab cranes can handle the highest oil throughput in the

market. But skilled crane drivers, able to operate several
functions at the same time, want even more from their
crane. And Hiab delivers, with PFD. In situations where
the operator is working at the limits and using multiple
functions simultaneously, even the largest pump may not
be able to supply enough oil. This can result in the crane
acting unpredictably, but not if your crane is equipped with
PFD. This innovative system distributes the available oil in
proportion to the operators lever movements. All functions
will continue to work just as expected, with no disturbances
or surprises, even though you may require more oil flow
than available. Once full oil flow is restored, it is full speed
ahead once again.
PFD has proven extremely useful in practice. Even at an
oil flow of 25 gallons/min, the system activates three times
per load cycle during normal use. If you demand maximum
convenience and productivity from your crane, you should
settle for nothing less than a crane equipped with PFD.

HiPro control system

HiPro is simply the most advanced control system on the

knuckle boom crane market today, delivering unrivalled
speed, precision and safety. This is achieved by combining
the CombiDrive2 remote control, SPACE 5000 intelligence,
and Valve 91. Capacity is increased significantly by Automatic Speed Control (ASC). Pump Flow Distribution (PFD)
maximizes productivity by ensuring super-smooth operation at all times.

Valve 80
The Hiab Valve 80 is a top-of-the-line opencenter valve, based on a well-proven technique
which gives superb reliability. The valve handles
large oil flows and provides great precision and
ease of operation.

Valve 91

XSDrive

The Hiab Valve 91 represents the pinnacle

of valve technology, handling very large oil
throughputs. It is a closed-center, pressurecompensated, load-sensing control valve,
providing the operator with finger-tip feel when
handling the crane.

The Hiab XSDrive has been ergonomically

developed to relieve you of stress and strain in
the hands, arms and back. The load indicators
provide information for quick and correct
actions when work is going on. There are also a
lot of accessories that can be added in order to
find the perfect control solution just for you.

CombiDrive2
With the Hiab CombiDrive2 you can position
yourself at the best possible location when
operating the crane. It features 24 proportional
and 12 on/off functions for controlling the
crane, optional equipment and accessories
all with the same precision.

Intelligence systems

All electronic functions are managed by a SPACE system,

which is computer devised to intelligently assist you in
operating your crane. The SPACE electronics are housed
in a 100% weather-proof casing and are extremely reliable
and easy to use. On the front of the casing a number of
indicators clearly show vital information to the operator.
As an example, the pressure in the cylinders is displayed
continuously. Observing these indicators proves very
useful when positioning the booms for lifting loads at
maximum capacity.
The SPACE intelligence system is available in different
packages, each one with an increasing number of advanced
and productive functions.
All SPACE-packages benefit from the highly advanced Over
Load Protection (OLP) system. Productivity functions in
the system are Automatic Duty Control (ADC), Automatic
Speed Control (ASC) and Pump Flow Distribution (PFD).
These functions can be used separately or in combination.
A valuable feature for service personnel is that fault code
indication and load cycle data is also stored in the system.
This can be used for analysis and feedback to the customer
as to how he or she uses the crane.
SPACE 4000 intelligence system

The SPACE 4000 system features Automatic Duty

Control (ADC) and the Automatic Speed Control (ASC)
function. The ASC function boosts capacity in a smooth,
stepless motion and thus gives an edge in load handling and
capacity that proves very valuable.
The SPACE 4000 is a part of the HiDuo control system.
SPACE 5000 intelligence system

The SPACE 5000 system features Automatic Duty

Control (ADC) and the Automatic Speed Control (ASC)
function. The latter function boosts capacity in a smooth,
stepless motion. In addition, Pump Flow Distribution (PFD) ensures super-smooth operation at all times.
The SPACE 5000 is a part of the HiPro control system.

Front runners in boom design

A Hiab crane is built to withstand extreme loading
under all kinds of circumstances, in all field conditions. Keeping the boom reliable, tough and sturdy
under extreme loading has made Hiab a world
leader in crane boom engineering.

Designed for maximum performance

E-link

The crane has an E-link solution which gives excellent

lifting capabilities when handling heavy loads close to the
column. In order to increase the lifting capacity even more,
a P-boom can be specified as an option. The P-boom has up
to five extensions, specially dimensioned to carry maximum
load. On top of this, each extension is slightly longer, giving
you an outreach that is greater than a conventional five
extension boom.

An E-link system is a kind of lever connection

between the column and the inner boom, as
well as the inner and the outer boom. This is
beneficial when lifting heavy loads straight up
to high positions, such as on scaffolding.

Controlled extension and

retraction sequence
A controlled sequence means that the
extensions always move in the same order.
Extending and retracting the extensions in
a controlled sequence means that the total
weight is lower, which is of most importance in
a long boom system.

High boom warning

When the pressure is on and you need to get
to the next job fast, mistakes can happen. For
example, if a driver forgets to park the crane,
the consequences could be serious. In these
situations, youll appreciate a safety function
like high boom warning. The SPACE system
continuously monitors the boom position. If the
crane is left in its upright position, an indicator
lamp in the cabin will alert the driver before
driving away.

Setting higher
standards
Operating your crane by remote control

One of the benefits of Hiabs remote control units is that the crane
operator can be positioned at the best possible location when operating the crane. This leads to more efficient, comfortable work and also
increases safety. A further spin-off effect is that you can be your own
loading assistant, positioning yourself next to the load, or wherever
the loading assistant should be standing. Tasks will be completed
faster and at lower cost.
