Hiab, part of Cargotec, announces the launch of the new MULTILIFT TALON – an advanced container handling unit designed to transform logistics for defence forces operating in the most demanding environments making operations smarter, safer and faster.
The MULTILIFT TALON offers an unmatched combination of speed, safety, and efficiency. Built on proven technology, the system enables seamless transitions between Flatrack and ISO Container modes directly from within the vehicle cab, enhancing operational efficiency. Its integration of cutting-edge automation and Hiab’s HiVision technology allows a single operator to control all loading/unloading processes from the safety of the cabin, minimising human error and reducing cycle times significantly.
“The MULTILIFT TALON represents a new standard for defence logistics. It combines battle-tested reliability with advanced technological features, ensuring the forces have the agility and safety they need on the ground,” says Frank van Dongen, Director of Government Business Operations (GBO), Hiab.
Key Benefits:
This versatile unit is compatible with 1C and 1CC ISO 668 Containers, NATO STANAG 2413 Flatracks, and DIN 30722 bodies, ensuring interoperability with standard defence systems. With a lifting capacity of 16.5 tonnes and a built-in 10% overload tolerance, the MULTILIFT TALON is optimised for use in the most challenging terrains and conditions. The advanced design also anticipates future demands, with autonomy support capabilities built-in for next-generation defence logistics. Hiab recently launched its new L2 driver support assistance technology, which is laying the foundation for further advancements in autonomous load handling.
