Northern Escalators said: “The two new ‘bespoke’ Valla cranes have been manufactured to our specifications to meet the unique requirement within the escalator and elevator industry. In terms of build quality, performance, durability, mobility for usage on internal and external project sites and hydraulic telescoping and lifting capacity, these new Valla cranes will be a valuable addition to our existing fleet of mobile cranes”.
