Manitex Valla has launched a new radio or cab controlled compact electric mobile crane covering the medium-large range segment for the Valla Pick & Carry cranes to handle indoor loads while maintaining compact dimensions.
The new V210R from Manitex Valla, a subsidiary of the US-based Manitex International, offers the possibility to control the machine either via radio remote control or directly from its cabin. The V210R boasts compact dimensions of only 1980mm maximum width and 2000mm maximum height, and a turning radius of 4100mm. This gives it an optimal ratio of payload/dimensions in order to be able to pass through industrial doors, and allows work in areas with space limitations, said Manitex Valla.
The compactness and operating weight also make the crane easily transportable in full working configuration with most low bed trailers, without the need of disassembling the counterweight and sending it separately for reassembly on site.
In terms of performance, the V210R has a maximum capacity of 21t and a maximum lift height of 12.5m. At its maximum horizontal reach of 8.2m it can lift 5.9t. Manitex Valla added that in any available configuration, the operator can lift, move and place loads with the maximum power and precision.
The new V210R incorporates the same family feeling of the “R Series” launched by the company in 2019, with front-wheel drive with powerful AC traction electric motors on the front to maximise efficiency and rear steering oscillating axle. There are four points of contact with the ground at all times to guarantee maximum stability.
The crane has an exclusive and patented Shield-Stabiliser with a dual function: to protect the wheels from the load during the pick & carry operations and to ensure better stability for boosting lifting capacity when deployed.
The operator’s cab option is available with tinted glass, openable upper door, adjustable seat and three mode adjustable steering column, plus an adjustable armrest for the joystick control. It can be configured in three different modes: only radio controlled, cab controlled, or cab + radio controlled.
The new V210R has a 220 Bar hydraulic system, 180-degree rear steering, electro-hydraulic brakes, and the on-board charger. Various options are available to make it suitable for the specific needs – such as hydraulic winch, folding jib, forks up to 10t.
Carlo Forini, general manager, Manitex Valla, said: “The V210R development is the response to precise needs coming from the crane rental professionals asking for a higher capacity machine. We have listened carefully to all the aspects that have been submitted to us by those companies specialised in indoor handling and machinery removal and we did our best to conceive a machine that will be able to satisfy the demand for a larger unit in payload and performances but still compact, easy to use and reliable.
Steve Filipov, CEO, Manitex International, added: “The ‘R’ series from Valla, and even more so the new V210R, represents a milestone in the evolution of our brand and our technology; we wanted to conjugate our heritage and experience with the voice of our customer to build the future of electric cranes but tailored on their needs. We are confident that the new V210R will satisfy all the requirements and will be considered as a landmark in the medium-large size segment.”
