The new Valla 25EL

The Valla 25E range was launched January, 2010, with curtain walling applications in mind, building on the success of the Valla 2.0E in this type of application, following pioneering work by Peter Hird and later CLE, particularly in the USA.

Antonio Valla, owner and chief executive of Valla said: "Having just opened our North American office in Los Angeles this year we're proud that one of our first sales allows Valla to play a part in the rebirth of the World Trade Center project"

The 25 weighs just 2,000kgs yet offers a pick and carry capacity with its US load chart of up to 2.25 tons. Its low weight allows it to be easily transported between building floors, while the speed and rope capacity of its winch make it ideally suited for curtain walling functions.
