Venturo announced a new distribution partnership with Halrai in Quebec. The Canadian equipment dealer will distribute the entire line of Venturo products with a focus on fully hydraulic cranes, including models equipped with Venturo Logic Controls (VLC).
“Quebec is an important marketplace for us, and we are looking forward to strengthening our relationships in the region through a respected local vendor,” said Tony Albanese, VP, sales & marketing, Venturo. “Halrai shares our dedication to quality and service, so we are confident that this newly minted relationship will be a huge success.”
Halrai will prioritize Venturo’s Hydraulic Cranes, the most powerful cranes the company has to offer. This focus on heavy-duty cranes puts Halrai in a unique place among Venturo’s Canadian distributors, most of which prefer electric light-duty or electric-hydrualic cranes.
Part of the standard package for these fully-hydraulic machines, the new VLC crane control management system brings additional safety, control, and reliability. This system offers safe, comfortable, and smart crane operations by utilizing features like overload protection, a pistol-grip controller, and visible safety alerts.
