Multilift has opened the new track for hooklifts in Raisio

Company Hiab AB has opened its new test track for MULTILIFT hooklifts and skiploaders in Raisio. Through data gathered by testing scenarios, Hiab aims to improve its products and come up with innovative new solutions.

The test track is spread over 10,000 square meters. About half of it is tarmac and the other half gravel. The tarmac also features an area with a five-degree incline. During winter, tests can also be run on ice and snow.

Testing the latest in cutting-edge tech

The safety of both customers and employees is paramount to Hiab and is one of the reasons why the test track was built. In 2018, MULTILIFT launched a new weighting system. Around 1,300 tests were run just for that one feature. As Hiab continues to invest in innovative, digital technologies, the amount of testing will only go up, making the new track even more essential.

Hiab’s latest MULTILIFT test track

The new test track is named Terho, which is the surname of the brothers who invented the world’s first demountable. Hailing from Raisio, the Terho brothers went into business in 1949, establishing MULTILIFT, a mechanical, cable lift demountable for trucks. In time, the business was merged with Hiab and MULTILIFT became one of Hiab’s top-sellers.
