Transforming lifting – the Valla V130RX extends your options
It may not be quite as dramatic as a Hollywood Transformers movie moment.
But the latest mini crane in the Hird fleet certainly can transform its capabilities right before your eyes.
That is because the new Valla V130RX has a built-in extending chassis.
So, at a touch of a button, the body of the crane opens up to create a longer lifting platform, significantly increasing its lifting capacity.
And, to accentuate this ability, it also has a stabiliser bar that, when deployed, extends the mini crane’s lifting capacity still further.
These two functions – the extending chassis and stabiliser bar – combine to make this pick and carry crane exceptionally flexible at dealing with the most challenging and varied of lifting environments.
Small crane with bigger one built in
Where just a little extra lifting capacity is needed in confined spaces, the Valla V130RX pick and carry crane delivers.
For example, if access to the precise location of the lift requires a mini crane to be of a specific compact size – our customers can hire the Valla V130RX.
Then, when the crane is in position, its chassis can be opened to achieve the safe working load needed for the lift to be completed smoothly and safely.
It is like having an impressively small crane with an impressively and critically bigger crane waiting inside – that you can get out and use just when you need it.
Multiple impressive lift options
The Valla V130RX is an emissions-free battery electric pick and carry crane with a maximum safe working load of 13t, a maximum working height of 10.5m and a maximum working radius of 6.2m.
The crane’s jib head can be set at three different positions to support precision lifting and it can also be combined with an electric winch.
The V130RX – the latest model in Valla’s cutting edge V Crane range – also has an optional hydraulic fly jib that extends the radius to 7.8m and the working height to 12.5m.
When you take into account the extending chassis and stabiliser bar, you can see there are multiple set-up permutations to ensure every lift is optimised for ease, safety and productivity.
Extending chassis boosts lift power
Just some of these permutations are shown in the table below.
For example, when fitted with a fixed hook in position 1, and operating free on wheels, the mini crane can lift 1.8t at its maximum radius with the chassis in the closed position. When the chassis is extended, this is increased by 0.5t to 2.3t.
With the stabiliser deployed, the maximum capacity at its maximum radius with the chassis closed increases to 2.7t. With the chassis extended (open), the SWL rises again to 3.3t.
| Chassis set up | Closed (t) | Open (t) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boom position | Max radius | Max tip height | Max radius | Max tip height |
| Fixed hook / Head 1 | ||||
| Free on wheels | 1.8 | 6.7 | 2.3 | 6.8 |
| Stabiliser deployed | 2.7 | 7.5 | 3.3 | 8.2 |
| With fly jib / fixed hook | ||||
| Free on wheels | 1.1 | 3.5 | 1.6 | 3.5 |
| Stabiliser deployed | 1.8 | 3.9 | 2.3 | 4.2 |
| With fly jib / winch | ||||
| Free on wheels | 1.1 | 3.5 | 1.6 | 3.5 |
| Stabiliser deployed | 1.8 | 3.0 | 2.3 | 4.2 |
Electric power for sustainable lifting
As with the other Vallla V Cranes available in the Hird mini crane hire fleet, the Valla V130RX is exceptionally compact. In its standard set-up it is just 1981mm high and 1525mm wide.
In its closed format, the chassis is 3709mm long. It extends by 700mm to provide the additional lifting capacity.
The mini crane is operated by a radio remote control unit, allowing the crane operator to position themselves anywhere around the lift point to get the optimal view.
The V130RX is also fitted with non-marking tyres so can be operated in indoor and clean environments. It also has a 3B6 load monitoring system for safe and efficient lifting control.
The industrial mini crane is ideal for as wide range of lifting duties, including machinery moving and installation, factory maintenance, facilities management tasks, such as glass installation and aviation maintenance.
As a zero-emissions pick and carry crane, it has a low carbon footprint and is low noise, so is the right choice for working in clean, precision engineering and safety-critical environments.
