The UK’s leading escalator installation company has selected Manitex Valla pick and carry cranes to meet growing demand for its service and enhance installation capabilities.
Northern Escalator Installations LLP has taken delivery of two new Manitex Valla 90LPG tracked mini cranes, which have been specifically designed to meet the unique lifting requirements within the escalator and elevator industry.
Gareth Judson, the company’s Operations Director, said: “Northern Escalator Installations selected Manitex Valla as its preferred supplier because of its experience and reputation as the world leader in mobile industrial crane manufacture and technology.
“It also demonstrated an ability to meet NEI LLP’s precise required specification, together with good support and customer service.
“In terms of build quality, performance, durability, mobility of usage on internal and external project sites, plus hydraulic telescoping and lifting capacity, these new Valla cranes will be a valuable addition to our existing fleet of mobile cranes.”
The tracked pick and carry cranes have a safe working load of 9 tonnes. Each has 15 degree negative boom angle and 63 degree positive boom angle. They are powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), allowing them to operate both indoors and outdoors.
