Hiab K-hipro 425, Hiab K-hipro 505: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 26E047000 · 996 units potentially affected · filed Jul 22, 2026
What's wrong
Hiab USA Inc. (Hiab) is recalling certain K-HiPro 425 and K-HiPro 505 cranes. Under certain operating conditions, over time the weld between the column pillar and the main plate may fatigue and crack.
Why it matters
A cracked weld may result in the collapse of the crane column when in use, increasing the risk of injury to the operator or others nearby.
The fix
Hiab will inspect crane operating data and replace the columns as necessary, free of charge. For cranes that are inspected but do not require a replacement, Hiab will regularly monitor the column and replace as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 11, 2026. Owners may contact Hiab customer service at (844) 442-2911.
