New in the program: Easy Lift caterpillar work platforms
We see the start of the cooperation with EASYLIFT, a renowned manufacturer of caterpillar devices from Brescello in northern Italy, as a strategically important step. When Emanuele Sorianini and Manuela Vender from Easy Lift srl (in the picture from left) visited in early October, the starting signal for the cooperation with the Rothlehner Group was given.
EASYLIFT produces devices with working heights of 13 to 42m, both in telescopic and articulated telescopic designs. Bike devices are also part of the product range.
For example, the small, fully hydraulic chain work platforms from 13 to 19m with simple operation, robust design, yet light and with appealing performance data should be emphasized.
The EASYLIFTs are driven by a petrol or diesel engine and a 230 V mains drive as standard; Environmentally friendly battery and hybrid drives can also be implemented. There is an extensive special equipment catalog for all models such as B. radio remote control, automatic support, GRP workman basket and many more.
In the future, Lift-Manager will take care of servicing the Easylift devices.

Roofing company Pahl invests in the reconditioned Denka-Lift DK18
The Pahl company in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has many years of experience in the renovation of old buildings. Roofing, plumbing, waterproofing, cladding, carpentry and everything related to it is one of the core competencies.
Now the company has invested in a used aerial work platform. Because of the different mounting options the choice fell on a flexible 18m telescopic trailer platform, DENKA•LIFT DK18.
The used device, built in 2010, was technically and optically repaired by the Lift Manager Service and retrofitted with a quiet Honda unit to ensure that it can be used independently of the power supply.
from left: Mr. Pahl, Mr. Burmeister and Mr. Wedel receive the Denka-Lift DK18
At Lift-Manager and Rothlehner, used equipment repair and marketing have been an important business area for decades. Not every used device is completely revised technically and optically. The scope of the preparation work is often based on customer requirements. In individual cases there are compromises in terms of optics or non-safety-related technology.
Rothlehner usually offers three possible quality levels:
A: Technically and optically revised, partially repainted
B: Technically revised with optical concessions
C: Functional, ready for use
At first glance, the fully repaired DENKA used device can hardly be distinguished from a new device
A little happy change in Corona times
On May 6th lift manager Jänkendorf made one of his DENKA • LIFT DK18 available for a small concert free of charge.
Two musicians serenaded at the “Abendfrieden” nursing home of the Emmaus Deaconess Institute in Niesky. Around 1.5 hours of music was played around the area to bring a little variety and joy to the residents and employees, as they are currently not allowed to leave the home.
The distance rule could be dispensed with in the work basket, since the two musicians come from one household. Otherwise, two stages would have been set up.
Community receives a fully repaired Denka lift DK18
The municipality Röderaue located north of Dresden has invested in a DK18 used device.
The machine – year of construction 2008 – was completely overhauled technically and optically by Lift-Manager, including new paint. The previous owner had replaced this device in 2019 with a new DENKA•LIFT DK18.
Mr. Vanselow and Mr. Müller (see photo) had both completed operator training at Lift-Manager prior to delivery.
The machine is used in the municipal building yard for general height work.
The DENKA • LIFT DK18 offers 18m working height, 11.30m lateral reach and 200kg basket load. All machine details in the product video
The Denka lifts benefit from their long-lasting processing. A second and third stage life are no problem after a thorough revision. The popular, simple operation is common to all used and new devices, as is the high stability of the telescopic boom made of extruded aluminum profiles and the associated value retention.
We wish you successful assignments at all times!

Special-Scissor platform designed in collaboration
In a comprehensive joint project between PB-Lifttechnik – Rothlehner Arbeitsbühnen and Lift-Manager, a PB standard scissor lift was converted by Lift-Manager for Elbe Flugzeugwerke in Dresden according to the special requirements of the customer.
The PB S151-19E, HT 4×4 is intended for use to convert passenger aeroplanes to freight aeroplanes. In September, this special appliance, including an extended CE approval, was handed over to the aeroplane works. This unusual conversion posed a great challenge for all those involved in the project, because extremely high standards were demanded by Elbe Flugzeugwerke for use of the machine on different aeroplane types.
All relevant functions and data for the DENKA•LIFT DK 18 can be found in our new product video.
A large selection of possible optional extras will be shown. Get in touch with us for an offer.
Leipzig partner-lift operation extends GSR fleet.
The work platforms Koch GmbH in Leipzig has recently received a GSR B240PX on Mercedes Benz Sprinter.
The Partner-Lift operation will increase the stock of GSR truck mounted aerial platforms to currently five units.
The GSR B240PX Comfort on Mercedes offers 23,70m working height, max. 12,30m lateral reach and max. 250kg basket load.
The outrigger width of the articulated telescopic platform is only slightly above the mirror width, the cab doors can be opened at any time during operation. Optional equipment includes an all-round beacon, as well as an automatic outrigger system.
The ergonomic operation and the robust construction of the truck stages convinced “GSR Fan” Jürgen Koch. Already in the mid-90s he had the first device in the fleet. Over the years there were a total of about 30 pieces found their way from northern Italy to Leipzig. About his current fleet of GSR Jürgen Koch says: “The evaluations for the GSR trucks speak a clear language, they are in the return of my trucks at the top.”
The partnership of Arbeitsbühnen Koch with Rothlehner aerial platforms dates back to the 90s, when Manfred Rothlehner delivered the first DENKA • LIFT trailer platforms to Leipzig to Uta and Jürgen Koch.
We wish you always successful assignments with the new B240PX!

Berlin company Prokom ETF receives new GSR E140P on Ford Ranger
Berlin-based Prokom ETF, which specializes in telecommunications and broadband cable assembly, has acquired a new GSR E140P on an all-terrain Ford Ranger chassis.
The machine was purchased mainly because of the small dimensions of the carrier vehicle. With a working width of only 2.12m (travel width 1.85m) and a dead weight of only 3.200kg, this device is particularly well suited for the specific applications of the customer.
As a contractual partner of Stromnetz Berlin GmbH, the Prokom ETF company often has to do in narrow streets, backyards and unpaved gardens of the capital. The truck platform GSR E140P on Ford Ranger with 13,25m working height and 250kg basket load turned out to be the best working tool for the different job sites. Among other things, a double insulation against 1.000V is an option.
We wish all the best with the new GSR E140P !

Micro-scissor lift Instant Lift with 5m working height
Micro scissor lifts have been enjoying increasing popularity on the market for several years.
As versatile helpers, the lightweight devices replace many ladders, easels or scaffolding.
Due to the ease of handling and the low weight, they can be used flexibly, e.g. for racking, installation work, or cleaning and painting work.
To meet the increased demand, Rothlehner recently introduced the Instant Lift ES30TAI. This is a push-around scissor lift, i. by hand without electric drive. The device offers 5m working height and 240kg basket load. With a gross weight of 358 kg and a width of only 0.74 m, it is the lightest and one of the narrowest in the 5 m class.
More trained technicians for the BRONTO service
As part of the focus training of our Lift-Manager service technicians, four technicians were once again training for one week at the BRONTO plant in Finland – see photo.
Thus, six technicians in Germany are state-of-the-art, including the so-called Blue Calibration Key, which includes the latest B5 + control.
Up to three firefighting BRONTOs were at the same time for repairs and 10-year checks in one of our workshops, as most recently in Jänkendorf the devices from Salzbergen, Neustadt / Dosse and from Klasterec / Czech Republic – see photo.

• What are the core competencies of the Rothlehner Group?
As a trading and service company in the area of work platforms, we are represented in Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia with our own companies as well as with sales and service in the south-eastern EU countries.
The product range covers all common categories of working platforms.
Our core competencies include a solid needs assessment, delivering quality products, comprehensive and long-term care, and reliable service. All from one hand.
One must see the achievements of “Rothlehner” as a company group with seven individual companies. Last but not least, our strengths are the result of many years of know-how from our foreign subsidiaries and the service division, which has grown over decades, and which is probably unique in its form.
Short to the history:
In 1976 I started with used equipment in the work platform industry. Many services up to 45m working height we have e.g. mostly self-made with truck turntable ladders. Thus, valuable practical experience was gained in the craft, tree service and in the work platform rental.
The number of DENKA•LIFTs grew in the rental fleet at the beginning of the 1980s, and in 1988 we took over general sales in Germany for this brand. From 1991, the focus was already exclusively on the trade and customer service. At the time, my brother took over the lease and developed it independently under “Rothlehner Konrad – Liftverleih”.
After the fall of the Wall, an exciting pioneering work began in the new federal states. At the same time, from the beginning of the 1990s, I founded subsidiaries in Austria and in neighboring countries to the east. The origins of the service company Lift-Manager also date back to this time. This was founded in 1991 together with Roland Jäkel as “Roland Jäkel GmbH” and initially provided the service for the devices sold by Rothlehner in the new federal states.
In 2001, the service merger of Rothlehner in the old federal states with the service structures in the east of the country and the renaming into “Lift Manager GmbH”.
Today, Lift-Manager employs around 80 people. More than half of them are technicians with different focus training for different brands.
With Lift-Manager, our customers in Germany have a nationwide workshop network, more than 20 mobile emergency vehicles, spare parts supply for various brands and much more. to disposal.
At the beginning of the 2000s, we introduced new product lines, most notably GSR truck bodies, of which we have so far brought and cared for around 1,200 units.
• How did it happen that you have been producing the DENKA•LIFT models yourself since 2013?
After more than 30 years of close cooperation with DENKA•LIFT, we took over the production of these devices in June 2013. Not least due to the frequent changes of owners, investors and managing directors, the Danish manufacturer experienced considerable turbulence.
For us it was an opportunity to take over the rights and parts and to maintain and develop this prestigious brand DENKA•LIFT.
Since 1988, we have sold more than 3,000 new DENKA•LIFTs and are able to take care of the customers with devices of old years and to deliver spare parts reliably.
We continue to offer new products, parts and technical support to our worldwide customers. Even though a considerable part of the trailer segment has shifted to 3,5to truck platforms and tracked platforms, we see the market for our DENKA•LIFT products as a stable niche and even notice a certain return to this device concept.
Various tradesman sectors and end user areas still ideally cover the vast majority of tasks with trailer platforms. Many customers still see the DENKA•LIFTs as flexible all-round devices, easy to operate, stable and reliable, and high value retention.
Technical innovations such as new controls, modern charging technology, auto-leveling and a range of useful optional extras have been implemented over the last few years.
Lift-Manager is assigned the task of international spare parts supply and technical support.
• The DENKA•LIFT DL22N belongs to the “narrow special devices”. What kind of work platform is this?
Rothlehner co-developed the concept of the DENKA•LIFT Narrow in collaboration with DENKA•LIFT in the 1990s. These are narrow self-propelled aerial platforms with low floor loading and minimal dimensions. With a clearance height of less than 2m and a minimum width of 0.89m, the devices fit through all standard doors. The stability and longevity of the DENKA models are shared by all Narrow versions with 19m, 22m, 25m and 28m, which also originate from the DENKA modular system.
The battery-powered, lightweight devices can be variably supported and built in very tight spaces. Especially for special indoor applications in atriums, shopping malls, airports or churches, the Narrow has its advantages: low floor load, small passage width, variable support and a high lateral reach.
The GSR B220PXE on Mercedes Benz 311 CDI has a linkage without substructure under the basket.
As a result, it is particularly suitable for applications in which it is necessary to drive close to and exactly on obstacles from above, e.g. during installation work or PV cleaning on roofs.
See all advantages of this machine in the video:
The articulated telescopic platform offers 21.50m working height and max. 250kg basket load. The maximum lateral reach of 11.40m is achieved with a basket load of 120kg.
The model on Mercedes Sprinter is equipped with an electro-hydraulic control; H-pillars and vertical pillars are used at the front. Optionally, the function “Automatic levelling” and much more. Reduced, ergonomic controls on the floor and in the basket simplify handling.
Truck-mounted platform GSR B200TJ on spezial chassis –
Rothlehner pracovni plosiny s.r.o. in Prague has assembled a special device and delivered to the Prague Public Transit Company.
The GSR B200TJ working platform has been mounted on an Iveco ML80E21D chassis and is used for maintenance on railway and tram routes and wagons. The truck platform with 20m working height, 13m outreach and 250kg basketload has been equipped for this purpose according to customer requirements with a range of optional extras. For example: a voltage transformer, many types of storage boxes for tools and equipment, a double insulation and the option „limited lifting function without outriggers“.
Once again, our colleagues in Prague have demonstrated their competence in the construction of special truck mounted work platforms.
New Truck Stage GSR B220PXE for Work Platform Rental Kirsch –
The work platform owner Helmut Kirsch in Pegnitz recently added a new GSR B220PXE to his fleet.
Founded in 1992, the company also offers scaffolding and services for construction site operations in addition to aerial work platform rental.
The new B220PXE will be used above all for work on roofs (for example, PV cleaning, roofers, chimney sweeps, etc.). The articulation without substructure under the work basket, this model is particularly well suited for these purposes.
The B220PXE offers 21.50m working height, 250kg basket load and maximum 11.40m (120kg) lateral reach. Electrohydraulic proportional control with H-pillars at the front and vertical outriggers at the rear. The delivered device has the options “Automatic levelling” and a rotating beacon.
