It’s time to give the limitations on what we think a mini crane can do the chop.
Because our Product of the Month for February is the Valla 22E pick and carry crane with fly jib.
Take a tip from the late great Bruce Lee.
“If you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life,” he said.
“There are NO limits.”
Think of it as a wake-up call. Every now and then we must consider all the possibilities.
Introducing the Valla 22E with fly jib
That means taking a close look at the impressive capabilities of mini cranes like the Valla 22E with fly jib.
It is an electric battery powered compact crane.
It has a maximum safe working load of 2.25t yet is narrow enough to be driven through a standard single doorway.
The addition of a 1m fly jib gives the mini crane a maximum tip height of 5.3m and a maximum radius of 3.5m.
This is a great help when working in confined spaces, where ceilings are low or when lifting over obstacles.
The pick and carry crane is designed specifically to be operated in clean and indoor environments.
It has non-marking tyres. Being an electric crane, it is fume-free.
The mini crane is also low noise, so is ideal for working in controlled environments.
Indoor and outdoor lifting
However, the Valla 22E mini crane with fly jib is not limited to indoor use.
One of its major benefits is its ability to provide indoor / outdoor lifting.
That means, for instance, it can be used to support aviation maintenance inside a hangar and on the apron or runway or an airport.
As a pick and carry crane, the Valla 22E mini crane also supports productivity and safety by being an end-to-end lifting solution.
Hird is the UK and Ireland authorised dealer for Valla mini cranes.
Our clients find they can replace more complicated multiple-stage lifting procedures with just one device – the Valla 22E.
This cuts manual handling, which improved safety and allows lifts to be carried out with smaller teams, reducing costs.
Safety and productivity – no compromise
The Valla 22E is also designed precisely for lifting in industrial environments, so there is no cutting of corners or compromise.
It is also packed with technology, including a smart load monitoring system, to support safe and productive lifting.
That means risks can be accurately assessed and method statements devised that maximise safety and productivity.
This has a positive impact on related costs, such as insurance premiums.
One incident involving a lift that goes wrong can cost many times more than the saving made over years from using sub-optimal lifting solutions.
Flexible and dependable lifting
The flexibility of the Valla 22E, like all other pick and carry cranes in the range, also create new opportunities.
Many of our customers often hire or buy a Valla pick and carry crane for one lifting task.
Then they rapidly see how it makes operational and commercial sense to use it for a range of others across their sites as well.
Examples are machinery moving, equipment maintenance, production line reconfiguration and loading and unloading.
The Valla 22E with fly jib can also be combined with other lifting equipment, such as glass and material vacuum lifters.
That makes them perfect for lifting tasks that include curtain wall installation, glass lifting and steel erection.

Like Bruce Lee, pick and carry cranes are brilliant at taking on multiple challenges. But safely, not with a crack on the head.
Hird can also provide accredited mini crane operator training or carry out contract lifting projects using our Valla pick and carry cranes.
