45t Valla for Ecranes

Dutch rental company Ecranes has purchased one of the first 45 tonne Valla V470RXX pick & carry crane.

The fully electric V470RXX will take over as the largest pick & carry in the company’s fleet when it arrives, it features a three section boom with a maximum lifting capacity of 45 tonnes.We also understand that the new crane is 2.15 metres wide, 2.4 metres high and just over five metres long when stowed, with an overall weight of 35 tonnes, but detailed specifications have yet to be confirmed, so we will update this item when we know more.

The new crane is one of the new generation Heavy Duty mini cranes operated by a wireless remote control with The GPSS (Ground Pressure Safety System) automatically adapting lifting performance to ground conditions. Optional attachments include a hydraulic telescopic jib and self-levelling fork package.

The crane is scheduled to arrive at the end of the year, and will be available throughout the Benelux region.

Ecranes managing director Kimball van Duivenbode said: “The market is evolving rapidly, customers want more lifting capacity, but without compromising on emissions, safety or operational flexibility. The V470RXX allows us to enter a new segment of heavy industrial applications where zero emission performance is becoming the standard rather than the exception.”

Valla chief executive Paolo Balugani added: “Ecranes understands the realities of zero emission operations like few others. Their application knowledge makes them the ideal partner to introduce our Heavy Range cranes. The V470RXX is designed for increasingly demanding lifting challenges, and Ecranes is perfectly positioned to demonstrate its capabilities in daily practice.”

Founded in 2017 and based in Rotterdam, Ecranes operates a fleet of pick & carry cranes from 3.6 tonnes up to its new 45 tonner, as well as telehandlers, boom lifts, scissor lifts, van mounts and spider lifts operating within heavy industry, petrochemical plants, utility construction, food production facilities, industrial relocations, shipyards and power generation sites.
