Magni Deutschland chief executive Alexander Reisch said: "Gerken's choice to include specialised models such as the RTH 8.27 and the RTH 8.35 confirms the trust in our brand and the focus on the future."
The Gerken rental business was established in 1989, but the company can trace its roots back to 1963 when Manfred Gerken opened a painting business in Düsseldorf. Having become a significant user of aerial lifts on larger painting contracts, he found himself gradually moving into rental and set up the rental company Gerken Arbeitsbühnenvermietung in 1989.
Telehandlers were added in 2014 and more recently the company has purchased spider cranes. The Gerken fleet is now made up of more than 9,000 aerial work platforms and operates from 40 locations.
