An early brochure for Scalificio Riminese ladders
The company Scalificio Riminese was established in 1890 to build regular ladders, and later added mobile fire rescue ladders. It continued in this business, extending its product range until the 1950s when it began building the type of truck mounted aerial lifts that forms the basis for the range we see today.
