Valla Cranes has supplied the Hird Group with a special version of the 18 tonne capacity Valla 180ES.


Managing director Philip Hird, who worked with Valla on the design and specifications for the 180ES, said: “Manual handling is a major problem within industry today and the Valla 180ES has been designed with this in mind. The idea was to have one crane to cover all requirement’s and assist both the end user and our own workforce to eliminate all manual handling.”
