Civil engineer invests in 15-metre trailer lift

Europelift TM15TJi in use for work at height

Ing. Christian Tiedl from Burgenland is a publicly appointed and court-certified expert. He specializes in the inspection of work equipment, elevators, and lifting systems, as well as in consulting and planning in the field of mechanical and plant engineering. He also offers professional advice and planning for efficient and safe installations.

To better cover work at height, Ing. Christian Tiedl has now acquired his own aerial work platform. He chose a Europelift TM15TJi from Rothlehner. The machine will be used both for his own projects and offered for rental.

The TM15TJ offers a working height of 14.8 m, a basket capacity of 220 kg, and a maximum lateral outreach of 10.00 m. In addition, the platform features an articulating jib — a first in this class of telescopic trailer lifts. Easy operation and an excellent price-performance ratio are typical of Europelift.

The delivered unit is powered by both a 230 V mains drive and a petrol direct drive, allowing not only outdoor use but also emission-free indoor operation. The machine comes standard with a “Home” function, enabling automatic retraction into transport position at the push of a button.

We thank Mr. Tiedl for his trust and wish him continued success with the Europelift TM15TJi.

The SIGMA 16 PRO features a double articulation boom with a telescopic section and a 130° jib. The Pro version comes with a 3D jib, meaning it can also move horizontally (by 110°). Combined with the 180° rotating platform, the Sigma 16 Pro easily reaches hard-to-access areas behind obstacles and projections.

The Pro model offers a working height of 15.70 m, a horizontal outreach of 8.05 m, and a platform capacity of 230 kg across the entire working envelope.
Its maximum up-and-over outreach is 8.35 m at 7.6 m height. The lift reaches full height from ground level in just 90 seconds, and two functions can be operated simultaneously.
With a transport length of 6.65 m and an overall height of 2.00 m, the Sigma 16 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications — ideal for rental fleets, maintenance, installation work, renovation, or industrial facilities.

We thank Mr. Heimes and his team for their trust and wish them every success with their new Haulotte Sigma 16 Pro!

Vogel Aerial Platform Rental Chooses the EasyLift RA21

Innovative 21-meter tracked platform heads to the Ore Mountains

Our long-standing and valued partner Vogel Arbeitsbühnen from Ehrenfriedersdorf in the Ore Mountains has expanded its rental fleet with a modern EasyLift RA21 tracked aerial platform.

Our cooperation with the family-run company Vogel goes back a long way — starting in 1992, when the first three DENKA•LIFTs were delivered to the Ore Mountains. This marked the beginning of a strong partnership between Rothlehner and Vogel Arbeitsbühnen, which is now successfully managed in its second generation by Sonja and Sebastian Höcherl.

With the new EasyLift RA21, Vogel once again relies on quality and reliability from Rothlehner. The compact articulated telescopic platform is versatile in use, ideal for maintenance work, installations, or tree care.

With a working height of 20.40 meters and a lateral outreach of 10.00 meters, the EasyLift RA21 enables precise work even in confined spaces. Thanks to its compact dimensions of 4.60 m in length, 0.89 m in width, and 1.99 m in height, it easily passes through narrow gates and pathways. With a weight of 2,860 kg, it can be conveniently transported on a trailer.

The articulated jib with a 90° swivel range and the 160° rotating platform with a capacity of 230 kg make work in demanding environments much easier. The intuitive control system ensures smooth and precise operation.

For maximum flexibility, the RA21 comes standard with a 230 V electric drive and a petrol engine. Optional features include a hybrid drive with lithium battery and diesel engine, automatic outrigger leveling, non-marking tracks, or a winch for safely lifting loads up to 230 kg, such as photovoltaic modules or building materials.

The EasyLift RA21 combines modern technology, compact design, and easy transportability, making it the perfect addition to Vogel Arbeitsbühnen’s versatile rental fleet.

We sincerely thank the Vogel team for the great partnership and wish them many successful operations with their new EasyLift RA21!

In addition, the Atego offers high maneuverability, which is particularly advantageous on tight construction sites or in urban areas. These characteristics make the vehicle a reliable partner for the municipality’s wide-ranging requirements.

For even more comfort and efficiency, the Markt Hengersberg also opted for the optional automatic outrigger system and home function. The automatic outrigger system enables quick and precise stabilizing of the platform, which increases safety on every job.

First EASYLIFT tracked platform in the Systemlift network

Systemlift member Winkelmann opts for the RA24 from Rothlehner

Since late 2024, Rothlehner has also been listed with Systemlift under the EASYLIFT brand.
Winkelmann Arbeitsbühnenvermietung has become the first Systemlift partner to receive an EASYLIFT RA24 tracked aerial platform from Rothlehner. After a convincing demonstration of the Easylift platforms, Georg Winkelmann chose the powerful EASYLIFT RA24.

The technical data speak for themselves. With an impressive working height of 23.5 meters and a maximum lateral outreach of about 12.0 meters at a weight of approximately 3,300 kg, the RA24 offers outstanding flexibility for a wide range of applications. The work basket carries a maximum load of 230 kg and maintains this capacity throughout the entire working envelope.

Georg Winkelmann says:
“For a special project, we were looking for a tracked aerial platform with strong performance figures and low weight. The RA24 perfectly meets the requirements thanks to its comparatively low ground pressure, robust design, and ease of operation, and it is an excellent addition to our rental fleet.”

The RA24 is equipped with electro-hydraulic proportional controls and comes standard with a hybrid power system that combines mains power (230 V) and a Kubota diesel engine. The tracked aerial platform offers variable outrigger setup, allowing single-sided, narrow, or wide positioning as needed. This enables flexible use even in confined work areas. The radio remote control, together with automatic outrigger leveling and the go-home function, ensures especially easy operation, even for less experienced rental customers.

Thanks to its double-articulation technology with an “up-and-over” height of approximately 11.00 m, obstacles can be bridged with ease. The movable jib and the 160° rotating work basket provide access to hard-to-reach work locations.

The RA24 is the ideal solution for demanding tree care, painting, facade, and roofing and sheet-metal work, as well as many other challenging applications where precision and flexibility are essential. Thanks to its compact design with a passage width of only 0.99 m and a height of 1.99 m, it is perfectly suited for both indoor and outdoor use.

We thank Winkelmann Arbeitsbühnenvermietung for their trust and wish them every success at all times with the new EASYLIFT RA24 tracked aerial platform.

Haulotte Compact 8 goes to Ariana Event GmbH

From inquiry to delivery in under 24 hours

With a working height of 8 m, a platform extension of 0.92 m, and a load capacity of 230 kilograms, the Haulotte Compact 8 was the ideal choice to meet the event’s requirements and ensure a smooth workflow.

This fast and efficient service once again shows how important good collaboration between service and sales is in order to resolve short-notice requests quickly and reliably.

We are pleased to have provided Ariana Event GmbH with a rapid solution and wish them continued success with their projects.

Bauhof Lübbenau expands with the GSR B180T on Mercedes-Benz

B180T goes to Brandenburg

The Bauhof Lübbenau has expanded its fleet with a GSR B180T truck-mounted platform on a Mercedes-Benz carrier vehicle. The company had previously operated a rental unit from us and has now opted to purchase the B180T based on the positive experience.

The GSR B180T offers a working height of 18 m and a lateral outreach of 11 m, making it ideal for a wide range of municipal tasks. With a platform capacity of 250 kg, it is well suited for performing work at various heights safely and efficiently. Another advantage is its weight of only around 3,500 kg, which means it can be driven with a Class B driving licence. This is a practical solution for the depot team.

Since the Lübbenau municipal depot had already gained experience operating a GSR aerial platform through the rental unit, the handover focused in particular on explaining the emergency controls, which further facilitated the safe operation of the new platform.

We thank the Bauhof Lübbenau for their trust and wish them many safe and successful operations at all times with the new GSR B180T truck-mounted aerial work platform.

Metallmanufaktur GE opts for the Haulotte HA16E Pro with Range Extender

HA16E Pro goes to Upper Bavaria

Metallmanufaktur GE has expanded its fleet with a Haulotte HA16E Pro with Range Extender. The decision was made due to the impressive platform capacity of 300 kg and the versatility of the machine, which can be operated electrically indoors and with diesel outdoors.

The Haulotte HA16E Pro offers a working height of 16 m and a lateral outreach of 7.94 m. With a platform capacity of 300 kg, it enables the safe transport of personnel and equipment, making it ideal for a wide range of tasks. A standout feature is the range extender, which extends operating time in diesel mode. This allows uninterrupted use on outdoor jobs without the need for frequent recharging, which is especially beneficial for longer shifts outdoors.

Another important factor in the decision to purchase the platform from us was the mobile service provided by our service partner Lift-Manager, which ensures fast and efficient on-site support, a major advantage for the company.

We wish Metallmanufaktur GE every success with the new Haulotte HA16E Pro and their future projects!

Aerial platform rental company Helge Kühl expands its GSR fleet

The new B240PX offers a working height of 23.70 m, a lateral outreach of 12.30 m, and a platform capacity of 250 kg. Compared to the B240PX on a Mercedes chassis, the Isuzu is around one meter shorter and 20 cm narrower. This agility proves especially useful on narrow inner-city streets. The unit can also achieve its full lateral outreach over the cab. As an option, the delivered machine features an additional 230 V drive that enables quiet and emission-free operation.

We are pleased that Helge Kühl continues to rely on the quality and reliability of our products and we wish them every success with the new GSR B240PX.

GaLaBau Röhricht Receives a Truck-Mounted Platform

GSR B240PX for Landscaping Company Röhricht

After 33 years of daily use, Garten- und Landschaftsbau Röhricht is replacing its proven work platform—a Herkules Lift mounted on a GDR all-wheel-drive W60 truck. This unique, battery-powered combination was likely one of a kind in Germany and proved its reliability over decades. The Herkules Lift was a true workhorse that mastered the company’s demanding tasks with ease.

To continue relying on familiar and proven technology, company owner Paul Röhricht has chosen a GSR B240PX truck-mounted platform on a Mercedes Sprinter. The machine was recently delivered to Gosen-Neu Zittau, southeast of Berlin.

The new platform offers a working height of 23.70 m and a lateral outreach of 12.30 m, enabling work even in hard-to-reach areas. With a compact transport width of 2.20 m, it remains highly maneuverable on tight job sites.

18 m Tracked Aerial Platform for Deggendorf Climbing Center

Easy Lift R180 for Indoor and Outdoor Work

The Deggendorf Climbing Center offers indoor and outdoor climbing and bouldering walls—providing a total of 2,600 m² of climbing surface with over 300 routes for enthusiasts.

To set routes on walls up to 15.5 m high, as well as for other installation and maintenance tasks, the center has invested in its own access platform. The choice fell on an EasyLift R180 tracked platform with a max. working height of 17.60 m, lateral outreach of 8.5 m at 120 kg, and a maximum basket load of 200 kg.

With a total weight of 2,330 kg, the machine is towable and, thanks to its compact dimensions (L: 4.78 m • W: 0.89 m • H: 2.01 m), fits through most doors and access routes. The crawler undercarriage distributes weight gently across the ground—made even better with track mats. The outrigger footprint is 3.66 × 3.66 m. As standard, the R180 comes with 230 V mains power and a Honda engine; it can be used both off-road and emission-free indoors. (Diesel or lithium battery are available as options.) Outriggers deploy automatically via the wired remote control.

We wish them safe and successful operations—and have fun climbing!

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.

GSR B180T for Bremen Aerial Platform Rental Company

H.-P. Meyer Takes Delivery of Two B180T in Company Colors

H.-P. Meyer Arbeitsbühnen-Vermietung GmbH rents all common categories of access platforms in Bremen and across Lower Saxony, up to 25 m working height. The company has recently taken delivery of two new GSR B180T units, replacing two older truck-mounted platforms.

Founded as a painting contractor, H.-P. Meyer’s rental business grew out of its own operational needs. This close connection to the trades enables targeted, job-appropriate rentals. With its wide range of applications and easy operation, the B180T can be deployed flexibly for many types of work at height.

The B180T on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis features a compact 3-section telescopic boom with a working height of 17.7 m, a maximum lateral outreach of 12.7 m, and a maximum platform capacity of 300 kg. The COMFORT X system allows variable outrigger setup—single-sided, narrow, or wide. This is especially helpful in urban areas where space is tight. The delivery included the options for automatic outrigger leveling and a home function, as well as a warning beacon on the cab.

We wish many safe and successful operations with the two new GSR B180T units!

Boels purchases two dozen tracked aerial platforms from Easy Lift

Major rental company opts for Easy Lift again

Boels Group is one of the largest rental companies in Europe. The first Easy Lift tracked aerial platforms joined its fleet in 2008.
Recently, Boels expanded its fleet with 24 new machines, including eight RA24 and two RA31 units, as well as a total of 14 from the smaller R130, R160, and R190 series.
Boels’ decision in favor of Easy Lift is based on the quality and reliability of the equipment, the efficiency of the after-sales service, and the available configuration options.

Manuela Vender, Sales and Marketing Director at Easy Lift, commented positively on the agreement:
“The satisfaction from this sale lies not only in the number of machines and the renewed trust of a major rental company. We are especially pleased because we have earned our long-standing customer’s confidence for a product range that had previously been covered by other competitors.”

Jacobo Campos, Boels’ Senior Category Manager, emphasized the quality of his experience with Easy Lift:
“From my experience, I can attest to the professionalism and care of the Easy Lift sales department: we always receive quick responses and maximum commitment in providing all the information we need (quotes, administrative details, documents), as well as the equipment.”

User-friendliness and safety have always been at the heart of Easy Lift—beginning with the name and the “Simple Inside” philosophy, which aims to deliver machines that make working at height as simple, high-quality, and safe as possible. Last but not least, service is streamlined by the capabilities of the EasyCom remote diagnostics system.

At Rothlehner, we congratulate our partner Easy Lift on this order and can attest to the professionalism of its team and the quality of its Italian-made products.

INetz Chemnitz expands its fleet with a new Europelift TM13G

Europelift TM13G heads to Chemnitz

INetz Chemnitz has acquired a new Europelift TM13G to broaden its operational capabilities. The company chose Chemnitz’s new landmark, the “Bunte Esse” (Colorful Chimney), as the handover location—marking a significant step toward enhancing its service offerings.

The Bunte Esse, a newly redesigned industrial monument, stands for Chemnitz’s structural transformation. At a height of 302 m—colloquially called the “Lulatsch”—it is considered probably the tallest artwork in the world. Its 18,000 m² exterior was designed by French artist Daniel Buren and consists of seven colored sections ranging from aquamarine to traffic yellow. At night, 168 LED lights make the chimney shine far beyond the city limits, symbolizing Chemnitz’s creative and dynamic development.

The Europelift TM13G is a trailer-mounted aerial work platform, ideal for work at height and distinguished by its flexibility and user-friendliness. With a working height of 13 m, a maximum outreach of 6.1 m, and a maximum platform load of 220 kg, it is specifically designed for the demands of urban environments. As special equipment, INetz Chemnitz opted for a hydraulic maneuvering drive and a petrol engine.

For all height-related tasks involved in the maintenance, installation, and repair of gas, drinking water, electricity, and district heating and cooling systems, INetz Chemnitz will rely on our machine going forward.

We wish them many safe and successful operations with the new Europelift TM13G trailer-mounted platform!

30 meter spider lift for tree cutter Wilkens

EasyLift RA31 goes to the North Sea

The Wilkens company from the Stade district in Lower Saxony offers professional solutions for tree trimming. Services include felling and cutting of all kinds, repairing storm damage, or tree planting. The team around owner Christoph Borchers is available to private and public clients.

Turntable ladders and aerial work platforms are used for high-altitude work in tree trimming.

Most recently, an older crawler work platform was replaced, and after a thorough test drive, the choice fell on an EasyLift RA31 from Rothlehner.

The performance data and operation of the machine were convincing: 89cm minimum clearance width, 300kg maximum basket load, with a weight of just 4,200kg. Likewise the high overlap point of the joint, the lateral reach of 14.50m (at 120kg) and the hybrid drive consisting of Kubota diesel and 230V mains drive.

The RA31 can be lowered variably and can work down to 7 meters in the negative range, which is worthwhile in rough terrain. The support is variable, and radio remote control and an electro-hydraulic emergency lowering are also standard. With a basket boom and rotating basket, the chain platform is suitable for a wide range of applications, both indoors and outdoors.

As additional equipment, the supplied machine has the options “Automatic support & home function”.

We wish you successful operations at all times with the new EasyLift RA31 crawler work platform!

More than 1,600 rental devices are now looked after by 120 employees at the main location in Hagen and Hamburg, making Cramer one of the leading rental companies of work platforms, under-bridge equipment, telescopic and forklift trucks in Germany.

The truck work platform is used in particular for the comprehensive renovation and conversion of a former discotheque with an integrated brewery.

Handover of the 10th Haulotte stage to Ponsold Dach

Haulotte HT23RTJ Pro goes to Austria

Ponsold Dach GmbH in Austria is a company that specializes in hall construction, flat roofs, facade construction and plumbing. Under the leadership of managing directors Hannes Ponsold and his twin brother Thomas Ponsold, the entrepreneurs and their team have already successfully mastered numerous large orders.

For its current major order, the company decided to purchase a Haulotte HT23RTJ Pro. This self-propelled work platform is the tenth Haulotte machine in the Ponsold Dach GmbH fleet, all of which were purchased from Rothlehner in the last five years. Like all previous machines, this one was delivered directly to the construction site, where it was immediately put into operation after comprehensive instruction.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Ponsold for the trust they have placed in us and the excellent cooperation over the past few years.

The Haulotte HT 23 RTJ Pro offers a working height of 22.50 meters, a lateral reach of 18.30 meters and a basket load of 230 kilograms. Equipped with a powerful diesel engine and all-wheel drive, it can handle gradients of up to 40% and is ideal for tough outdoor use on construction sites. Your high work efficiency is achieved through the proportional and simultaneous control of various functions. The boom has a movable jib arm with 133° and a rotatable jib with 175° to optimally approach a wide variety of situations.

We wish the Ponsold Dach company always successful operations with their Haulotte aerial work platforms!

Donate to the Wolfsegg Volunteer Fire Department

The Wolfsegg Volunteer Fire Department plays an indispensable role in our community by standing by around the clock to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies. With her commitment and professionalism, she protects lives, property and ensures the safety of citizens.

We just wanted to thank the Volunteer Fire Department Wolfsegg for this achievement. For this reason, the company Rothlehner Arbeitsbühnen GmbH, together with the associated service company Lift-Manager, donated an amount of 3000€ to Volunteer Fire Department Wolfsegg. Since the donation was made at the end of 2023, a delayed symbolic handover took place. We were all the more pleased to see that the first investments in new equipment had already been made (see photo). For example, in a mobile privacy wall, a floor hose reel and a gas warning device. Tools for opening apartment doors are also purchased. This further improves the operational readiness and efficiency of the Volunteer Fire Department Wolfsegg.

We wish the Wolfsegg Volunteer Fire Department successful and safe operations to protect citizens at all times!

Europelift TM13T goes to FLOTT Arbeitsbühnen GmbH

FLOTT Arbeitsbühnen GmbH from Lieboch near Graz rents work platforms and forklifts of all categories and also offers training on how to operate the machines safely. The company has been a reliable partner for many years and we first worked with it in 2002. In recent years, the team around managing director Bernd Stroißnig has placed its trust in several DENKA•LIFTs, scissor lifts and other devices from Rothlehner.

This includes the new Europelift TM13T, which was handed over to FLOTT as part of the MAWEV Show construction machinery event and is therefore the third example of the 13 meter telescopic trailer in the company’s fleet.

The Europelift TM13T offers a working height of 13m with a high lateral reach of 9m and a basket load of 220kg. With the help of the low weight of approx. 1,500kg, a standard maneuvering drive and a clearance height of less than 2m, the TM13T can also reach areas that are difficult to access.

For the drive, the customer chose the 230V mains drive & petrol direct drive option.

We wish you successful operations with the new Europelift TM13T at all times!

EasyLift RA31 spider lift for Schmid Haimhausen

PartnerLift company adds EasyLift to its rental fleet

SCHMID Hebebühnenverleih GmbH in Haimhausen near Munich recently took delivery of an EasyLift RA31 spider lift from Rothlehner. The company, run by company founder Josef Schmid and his sons as well as co-managing directors Mario and Philipp, is well known to industry insiders. The PartnerLift company rents out all categories of work platforms as well as telehandlers and cranes in the Munich, Augsburg and Landsberg area.

The business relationship between Rothlehner and Schmid rental began in the 80s, when both were still pioneers in DENKA•LIFT. In the following decades, Josef Schmidt purchased several DENKA•LIFTs and GSR truck miunted platforms from the dealer Rothlehner.

At the end of May, the Schmid family decided to add an RA31 spider from the EasyLift brand to their rental program. The performance data of the device was ultimately convincing. The decisive factors were 89cm passage width, 300kg maximum basket load and the weight of 4,400kg. Likewise the high up-and-over point, the maximum outreach of 14.50m and the hybrid drive made of Kubota diesel and lithium battery.
The RA31 can also be used to work down to 7 meters into the negative range. The stabilisation is variable, radio remote control and an electro-hydraulic emergency lowering are also standard. With a jib and rotating basket, the machine is suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications.

EasyLift produces spider lifts with working heights from 13 to 53m, in both telescopic and articulated telescopic designs. Rothlehner has been a dealer for the Italian manufacturer in Germany, Austria and the other countries in which the group is active since 2020. The experience gained so far with the brand and those responsible in Brescello is very good. The products receive consistently positive feedback on the market, not least because of the good price-performance ratio.
Solid lead planning enables Rothlehner to offer the entire range of EasyLift crawler work platforms with consistent delivery times, even in times of limited resources.

We wish Schmid rental always successful operations with the new spider lift !
