Walter Payton Power Equipment Now Carrying Hiab Equipment Across the Midwest
Release: March, 2026. For immediate release.
Walter Payton Power Equipment (WPPE) is proud to announce that it is now an authorized dealer for Hiab equipment, expanding its lifting and material handling offerings across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky.
As the Midwest’s premier crane distributor, WPPE has been selected as a key Midwest partner for Hiab as they launch their new dealer network. This addition strengthens WPPE’s commitment to delivering innovative, high-performance lifting solutions backed by trusted service and support.
Among the featured models now available are the Hiab Hi-Pro 425 Drywall Crane and the Hiab 352E.8, both designed to provide advanced performance, efficiency, and operator-focused technology. The Hiab Hi-Pro 425 Drywall Crane is known for its high lifting capacity and fast load cycles, making it the ideal crane choice for handling drywall materials. The Hiab 352E.8 is a heavy segment loader crane with an advanced remote-controlled system and an outreach of 74’5”, ideal for heavy-duty construction and infrastructure projects.
Hiab cranes stand out for their innovative features, including the Semi Automatic Folding (SAF) System and the Automatic Greasing System. The SAF System enhances convenience and safety by allowing operators to fold and unfold the crane using a single control lever on the remote, eliminating the need to manually operate each hydraulic function individually. This streamlines operation, reduces setup time, and minimizes potential errors.
Additionally, the Automatic Greasing System ensures that moving and pivoting components remain properly lubricated without frequent manual intervention. By automating lubrication, the system reduces maintenance time, supports longer equipment life, and maximizes uptime in the field.
“We’re excited to add Hiab to our portfolio of industry-leading brands,” said Mike Noonan of WPPE sales. “This partnership allows us to provide our customers with even more advanced lifting solutions, supported by the service and expertise they’ve come to expect from Walter Payton Power Equipment.”
With this new product line, WPPE continues to strengthen its position as a trusted provider of innovative crane and lifting solutions throughout the Midwest.
