Pfeifer group chief executive Gerrit Pfeifer said: “This fleet expansion reflects our growth and adaptability in the bare rental segment. Our customers often have their own qualified personnel and technical resources, allowing them to rent equipment without requiring one of our operators.”
Erik Baas, Manitowoc Netherlands sales manager, added: “These powerful cranes reflect the importance of efficiency and versatility in today's rental solutions. For bare rental, delivering an intuitive and easy to use crane is vital for the operator, as some potential users might have limited experience of using mobile cranes. This is where features such as Maxbase and the boom configurator, as part of our intuitive Crane Control System, stand out, as they simplify planning, setup, and lifting to deliver productivity benefits.”
The Pfeifer group is based in Groenlo in the far east of the Netherlands, near the German border, but operates a number of other divisions, from locations in Edam and Roosendaal in the Netherlands, plus Poland, the UK and Brazil. Its Dutch rental fleet includes crane for operated or bare rental, along with aerial work platforms and telehandlers. It also offers storage facilities, haulage and training services.
