GGR takes on Galizia.

GGR-UNIC, the Unic mini-crane master distributor for Europe, has been appointed as the Galizia pick and carry crane distributor for the UK.

The Galizia crane line is produced in Italy and will add a new dimension to GGR’s range of cranes and glass handling products taking the company into more industrial applications.

There are seven Galizia models in all, with lifting capacities ranging from 2.5 to 25 tonnes and maximum lifting heights of up to15 metres. They are available with either diesel or battery power sources and options include fly jibs and hydraulic hoists.

GGR Unic says that it will add machines to its rental fleet as well as offering them for sale.

Gill Riley, GGR managing director, said: “Galizia will allow us to offer customers an all-round restricted-access solution. There are some applications where a crane needs to be able to lift and move with a load. For all their reach and capacity this is something outriggered mini cranes can’t do.

“A compact counterbalanced crane with a short boom like the Galizia is ideal for this short of job. We see them coming into their own in workshops, marinas, factories and aircraft hangars. Places where a forklift doesn’t give you the capacity or the reach you need and where the ability to move quickly about site is important.”
