en.Wedoany.com Reported - German rental company GS Arbeitsbühnen (part of the Gerken Group) has sold its 16-year-old 103-meter Palfinger/Wumag WT1000 truck-mounted aerial work platform to Movigru Oliva, a crane and aerial work platform rental company based in Polistena, Calabria (near the "toe" of Italy).

This 103-meter Palfinger aerial work platform arrives at Movigru

The transaction was facilitated by KuCon Expert Consulting, operated by former Ruthmann CEO Rolf Kulawik, and completed through aerial work platform company Oxley Piattaforme. Gerken has replaced this large Palfinger aerial work platform, mounted on a five-axle Faun crane chassis, with a new 100-meter Ruthmann T1000 HF.

Founded approximately 30 years ago, Movigru operates a diverse fleet ranging from cranes to 200-ton All Terrains, as well as boom lifts, scissor lifts, and telehandlers, covering the Calabria region and Sicily.

Inspecting full extension

Gerken was among the first companies to purchase a 100-meter aerial work platform, acquiring the second unit off the Ruthmann TTS1000 production line as early as 2001. Ten years later, that unit was sold to Abilene High Lift in Abilene, Texas, USA. Subsequently, Gerken acquired the Palfinger WT1000 and a 101-meter Bronto aerial work platform.
