Valla Cranes UK seals Locetelli deal

Mobile crane specialist Valla Cranes is the new sole UK distributor for internationally renowned Italian crane manufacturer, Locetelli.

Marking the tie up with an eagerly awaited UK debut, Locetelli’s new 20t city crane, the ATC20, will be on show at SED 2005.

Little larger than a transit van and capable of travelling at up to 50 mph once in operation, the ATC20 has a maximum boom radius of 23.8m and can lift up to 20,000kg.

Bob Elcome, Valla UK sales manager, said: “In specialist mobile cranes, the Locetelli brand has a worldwide reputation for reliability and innovative design. Its range includes rough terrain and all terrain cranes that range from 12.5 to 50t capacity.

"Chosen as the pick of the crop for the UK, the ATC20 represents awesome value as a nimble emissions beater. Optional forks and personnel basket give the ATC20 great utilisation, which linked to a combination of high manoeuvrability and an excellent lifting height of 34m, make it simply peerless.”

SED 2005 takes place at Fen Farm, Milton Keynes, between 17 and 19 May. Further information at www.sed.co.uk.
