Product of The Month – Valla 250E pick and carry crane
Pick and Carry Cranes • Product of the Month
Remember the shock created when BMW launched its new Mini? It’s too big, everyone said. It isn’t a squeeze to get in! Well, we’re tempting the same fate with our Product of the Month for February, because it is the Manitex Valla 250E pick and carry crane. Valla pick and...
Product of the Month – Genie Z62/40 boom lift
Powered Access • Product of the Month
We have compared a glass vacuum lifter with Brazilian footballer Neymar, so are at perfect liberty to match the extraordinary abilities of the Genie Z62/40 articulating boom lift against a children’s cartoon character from the 1960s. The Genie Z62/40 diesel-powered aerial platform is our first Product of the Month for...

Product of the Month – Valla 25EL Pick and Carry Crane
Pick and Carry Cranes • Product of the Month
Hird Group offers for hire so much excellent equipment that we’ve calculated it would take 1,545 years to showcase each item as a Product of the Month. Okay, we kind of made that figure up. But you get the point. So, why is our Product of the Month for October...
Product of the month – machinery moving
Machine Moving • Product of the Month
We like to challenge convention at Hird Group. Last month, we compared Neymar to a glass vacuum lifter, and our Product of the Month for September is – machinery moving. Eagle-eyed readers will spot that machinery moving is not a product, but a service. However, a dictionary definition of a...
Product of The Month – Winlet 1000 glazing robot
If Neymar was something useful, he would be a Winlet 1000 glazing robot. One glaring difference. A glazing robot would not cost half a billion pounds (thank goodness for us). We’re being a bit controversial by suggesting that Brazilian ball kicker-arounder Neymar is not useful. But we are making a...
