Hiab, a leading provider of smart and sustainable load handling solutions, presents its market-leading ZEPRO tail lift solutions at IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026, the world’s leading platform for logistics, commercial vehicles and the transport sector, on 15–20 September in Hanover, Germany.

Together, Hiab and HAAS Tail Lift Systems GmbH will demonstrate how integrated vehicle, body and tail lift solutions help fleets perform reliably in real-world operating conditions. The team will show fleet operators, bodybuilders and other IAA visitors how ZEPRO solutions can help address growing pressures around uptime, electrification, operational efficiency and total cost of ownership.

Durability and extended lifecycle performance central to Hiab offering
Durability, lifecycle performance and operational uptime are central to Hiab’s offering at IAA. Hiab will present ZEPRO-G, featuring an upgraded galvanised finish developed for demanding European fleet environments.
