GSR B220PXE in Company Colors for Rental Firm Jakob Schäfer

22 m Articulated-Telescopic Truck Mount Heads to East Frisia

The partnership between Rothlehner and Jakob Schäfer GmbH began in 2009. Over the years, seven truck-mounted and four trailer-mounted platforms have made their way from Lower Bavaria to Schäfer in Marienhafe, East Frisia. Since 2022, the company—which, in addition to renting access platforms, scaffolding, and tools, also operates a specialist retail store and an installation business for heating and sanitary systems—has been led by owner and managing director Bernhard Iken.

Most recently, Jakob Schäfer added another GSR truck-mounted platform in company colors to its rental fleet: a B220PXE Compact on an Isuzu chassis. The machine features automatic outrigger deployment, a working height of 21.5 m, and a maximum outreach of 11.2 m (at 120 kg). The unit has already proven itself in rental for some time thanks to its easy handling and the wide range of applications enabled by its basket control concept with no under-basket structure.

The B220PXE Compact—true to its name—is extremely compact and almost a meter shorter than, for example, the Mercedes-based version. It plays to these strengths especially on narrow inner-city streets. With the engine positioned further back, the B220PX on Isuzu can, compared to the Mercedes, make full use of its lateral outreach even over the cab.

By expanding its fleet, Jakob Schäfer GmbH continues to rely on high-quality solutions and strengthens its position as an aerial platform rental provider in the East Frisian region.

We thank Jakob Schäfer for the many years of trust and wish them every success with the new truck-mounted platform.
