Hiab Delivery of Surplus EPS Insulation in Liverpool: 2026 Pricing & How-To
Kerbside pallet delivery isn't practical for large loads of EPS on many Liverpool sites. A hiab (lorry-mounted crane) lifts pallets over walls, into gardens and onto scaffolds. Here's how to book one in North West without paying for hire you don't need.
When to book a hiab in Liverpool
- Site with no forklift and no easy kerbside
- Load needs lifting over a wall or fence
- Pallets going onto scaffold or a first-floor slab
- Loads over 1.5 tonnes to a rural or restricted site
Liverpool hiab pricing 2026
Merseyside same-day van £70–£120
Access checklist before booking
- Reach required (measure to drop point in metres)
- Vehicle access (7.5t or 18t)
- Overhead cables and tree branches
- Ground bearing capacity for outriggers
Collection and delivery inside Liverpool
Most Liverpool sellers hold stock inside L1, L8 and L18 and offer Merseyside same-day van £70–£120. For loads over a tonne of EPS, a hiab drop is usually more economical than multiple van runs.
Frequently asked questions
+Do I need a banksman for a hiab drop?
Usually not — the driver operates the crane. On complex or public-highway sites, yes.
+How far can a hiab reach?
Standard hiabs reach 8–14m. Long-reach cranes reach 20m+ and cost 30–50% more.
+Is EPS fire-safe?
EPS is combustible — always use behind fire-rated linings.
