A 27 metre Multitel MTE 270 EX truck mounted platform has been used in the installation of a video wall on the main façade of the famous Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The museum, located in the Museumplein, houses works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Van Gogh to name a few.

The platform - supplied by rental company HWS Verhuur - features a five section telescopic boom with a pedestal mounted platform, all of which provides a maximum working height of 27 metres, along with a maximum outreach of 17 metres with 100kg in the platform, while the maximum platform capacity of 250kg is possible at up to 12.3 metres outreach. The 270 has 400 degrees slew, and a full 180 degrees of platform rotation.
The videowall is roughly seven by seven metres and is positioned in the centre of the façade above the museum's main entrance arch. Designed as an art installation, it projects live images captured from various locations around the city.

HWS Verhuur director Matthew Mumford said: "We chose the Multitel MTE 270 as it proved to be the ideal model for this job due to its outreach, the required working heights."
