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...
Product of the Month – Maeda MC815 mini crane
Mini Cranes • Product of the Month
To be a mini crane or not to be a mini crane? That is the question. To put it in a less Shakespearian way, can a mini crane be too big for its boots? Our Product of The Month for July is the Maeda MC815. It is the largest mini...
Product of the Month – Genie Z-34/22IC Diesel Boom

Go-to lifter in a tight spot – the GML 800+ counterbalance floor crane
The GML 800+ counterbalance floor crane is like a lifting company’s best mate. You know the type. The pal you can really trust to be by your side, putting in a big shift, when you’re in the tightest spot. Okay, here at Hird we don’t get too friendly with our...
“Valla 35 pick and carry crane” – ooh, you smooth talker
Pick and Carry Cranes • Product of the Month
Cue soft, sexy voice – It’s not just any pick and carry crane. It’s a Valla pick and carry crane. Okay, it can’t ooze chocolate, and it hasn’t got berries on top, but the Valla 35 pick and carry crane can have a powerful effect on many lifting professionals. Because,...
