Herrmann & Wittrock GmbH & Co. KG has added another trailer platform of the type DENKA•LIFT DK25 trailer platform to the rental park. With over 20 branches in Germany, the Wittrock Group is a well-known name on the market of aerial work platform and construction machinery rental companies.

Now another 25m telescopic platform has been commissioned at the yard in Berlin. Demand for Hermann and Wittrock is the result of increased demand, especially in large cities. Trailer work platforms are lightweight and compact (for example, DK25: 25m working height at 2,450kg). They easily reach locations with narrow, low driveways, such as in courtyards or buildings. They are suitable for working on soils with low load capacity, eg. As green areas, gymnasiums or parking decks. The delivered DK25 has in addition to the extensive standard equipment still a gasoline power generator.

German aerial lift manufacturer PB Lifttechnik has launched the 117ft S370-24 ES 4×4 scissor lift, the company’s largest model so far – possibly the largest self-propelled scissor lift on the market.

The new battery powered mega scissor lift offers a maximum working height of 37.5 metres, with a massive 10.5 x 2.11 metre platform with a capacity of 750kg – with an indoor rating with up to four people in the platform. It has an overall width of 2.4 metres and a length of 10.5 metres, four wheel steer plus four wheel drive, helps what is a relatively long machine manoeuvre. In board jacks provide automatic levelling on uneven ground.

The first three units are due to ship shortly to the first customers.

There are currently seven DENKA•LIFT DK18 deployed at the spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. There, a new rocket launch pad is being built for the Ariane 6 rocket ESA / CNES, which will be completed in 2020.
Our fleet of 5 new and 2 young used equipment went overseas with sea containers. The customer and the construction team on site are very satisfied with the 18m telescope unit and emphasized the reliability of the platform.

Summary of Bauma 2019

The Bauma 2019 is already history again. As expected, the fair set new records: 620,000 visitors were curious about the products and services of 3,700 exhibitors.

We, too, draw a thoroughly positive balance and are pleased to speak of a successful Bauma 2019. The new concept with smaller tents and more space for machines has worked well for all exhibitors (Falcon Lift, GSR, Rothlehner, PB Lifttechnik, GGW and Lift-Manager). On behalf of our partners, we would like to thank all our customers and guests for their visit, for the constructive discussions and for the orders placed. Many thanks also to all employees who contributed to the success.
