Valla Cranes delivers bespoke mini crane with unrivalled flexibility
Valla Cranes has provided Hird with a special version of one of its most versatile mini cranes – demonstrating its ability to develop bespoke lifting solutions.
The 18 tonne capacity Valla 180ES mini crane is based on the Valla 180E – and is now available in Hird’s pick and carry mini crane rental fleet, and for machinery moving contracts.
The impressive mini crane’s main boom provides a maximum radius of 10 metres, at which point it is capable of lifting 1,500kg.
It has a new, and improved, fully-hydraulic telescoping boom, giving a maximum boom height of 13m. The mini crane has a hydraulic fly jib with a tip height of 16m and a 40 degree sweep.
Hird Managing Director Phil Hird worked closely with Valla Cranes on the design and specifications of the Valla 180ES mini crane.
He said mini cranes were already helping to transform the workplace, reducing risks from manual handling – and the new Valla 180ES takes that process to a new level.
He added:
“The idea was to have one crane to cover all requirements and assist both the end user and our own workforce to eliminate all manual handling.
“To be able to mini cranes for hire or for sale with this level of performance is very powerful, and we’re looking forward to demonstrating the new model to customers.”
