Hiab holds a 330 MEUR syndicated revolving credit facility, maturing in December 2028. Currently, the facility remains unused.

In addition to general terms and conditions, Hiab has a financial covenant in its bilateral loan agreements and revolving credit facility (RCF), which restricts its capital structure. According to the covenant, Hiab’s gearing must be retained below 125 percent. On 31 December 2024, Cargotec's continuing operations' (Hiab) net debt was -70 MEUR and gearing approximately -7 percent. 

Hiab has not applied for a credit rating from any rating agency.
