en.Wedoany.com Reported - German rental company Cramer Arbeitsbühnen has recently added five Hyrax-brand aerial work platforms, including the 34ft 27.12 and 46ft 50.16 crawler self-leveling telescopic boom models.

The 50.16 model features a three-section boom with a 180-degree articulating jib, offering a maximum working height of 16 meters and a horizontal outreach of 10.5 meters. Its platform has a rated load capacity of 330 kg, with a total machine weight of 5 tons. The 27.12 model is equipped with a two-section boom and a similarly 180-degree articulating jib, providing a working height of 12.6 meters, a maximum outreach of 8.75 meters, a platform load capacity of 270 kg, and a total weight of 2.7 tons. These two batches of equipment will be deployed to the company's sites in Hagen and Hamburg.

Cramer, headquartered in Hagen, south of Dortmund, was founded in 1962 by Peter Cramer, starting with timber transport operations. In 1970, the company shifted its focus to tree care and began purchasing work platforms to assist operations, with rental services developing as a sideline. In 1977, the company officially launched its aerial work platform rental division, offering services including under-bridge inspection platforms. In 2002, the second-generation member Till Cramer joined, introducing telescopic handler operations. Subsequently, his daughter Annekathrin Schumacher-Cramer and son-in-law Jan Schumacher also joined the company, taking over the management of the rental department. By 2010, the company's equipment fleet had reached 750 units, including spider cranes, and the original tree care business was discontinued. Currently, Cramer employs approximately 115 staff and operates 1,600 platforms, telescopic handlers, and cranes.
