Manitex Valla, a subsidiary of Manitex International, has launched the V36R radio controlled electric pick and carry crane.

The new model offers a maximum capacity of 3.6t, maximum lifting height of 7.5m, and maximum horizontal reach of 4.75m with 500kg capacity.

The manufacturer characterizes this model as “ultra-compact”, as it has a width of 900mm and maximum height of 1650mm. With these dimensions, the V36R is able to pass through industrial small doors, bypass obstacles and work in areas where space is limited. Its turning radius is only 2155mm.

Other characteristics of the new model, is its low weight (3,800kg) and therefore low ground pressure. As an electric battery crane, the Valla V36R provides zero-emissions lifting.

Like other models of the ‘R Series’, launched in 2020, it has front-wheel drive with AC traction electric motors on the front and removable counterweights. Among other features are: the 220 Bar hydraulic system, 180° rear steering, electro-hydraulic brakes and the on-board loader. Manitex Valla said there are various optional features offered in order to meet individual customers’ needs, for example hydraulic winch and folding jib.

"The primary goal that we set ourselves in the design of the new V36R was to combine maximum performance and versatility of use while remaining in minimum dimensions," explained Carlo Forini, general manager of Manitex Valla. “In short, this new model is the solution to the growing needs of safe handling of loads in confined spaces; a crane that can fully meet market expectations in terms of safety, performance, size and, of course, respect for the environment.”

Steve Filipov, CEO of Manitex International, said: "We all know how the topics “safe” and “green” are increasingly at the center of the debate, it is no coincidence that we see that regulations are becoming more and more stringent globally. Valla, since 1945 and even more today proposes itself as a proactive company on this. Our mission is to offer solutions to help companies and rental companies to overcome the challenges of the present and the future. At the same time we offer our experience and technology to increase productivity by offering the better return both from an economic and environmental point of view.”
