Riwal Germany employs around 140 people in seven branches across Germany with a fleet of around 2,400 machines. Viktor Baumann dates back to 1888 when it was established as a haulage company. It built its first crane in 1950 mounting it on a US army surplus truck chassis, and bought its first manufactured crane, a 20 tonne P&H truck crane in 1957. Today it runs an extensive transport fleet, and operates a mobile crane fleet that ranges from 30 to 500 tonnes.
