First, AL-Vac UK Ltd., has introduced the latest version of its 160kg mini truck and van crane.
Units are typically installed at the rear of a truck located within a square socket, which can be positioned anywhere on a truck body.
Similarly, the unit may be located inside the rear doors of a suitably-sized van, with different versions available for a range of vehicles.
The model may be specified with a safety hook for conventional lifting tasks or fitted with the so-called AL-Vac Handyman vacuum lifter, available with a number of special attachments for handling kerb stones, slabs, drums, barrels and other non-standard loads.
Meanwhile, Nissan’s commercial vehicle customers in the UK can now specify and purchase vehicle-mounted cranes from Penny Hydraulics.
Any combination of Nissan light commercial vehicle and Penny Hydraulics product is available to provide customers with “complete flexibility to choose a solution matched to their needs from a single source,” Penny boasts.
Nissan commercial vehicles UK sales and marketing manager Mark Lovett added: “The combination of Nissan commercial vehicles and Penny Hydraulics load handling equipment provides our customers with a highly effective solution based on market leading products.”
Penny Hydraulics designs and manufactures a wide range of vehicle-mounted handling equipment including swing lift cranes for loads up to 2,000kg and rear and side mounted platform lifts for loads up to 550kg.
