German rental company GS Arbeitsbühnen, part of the Gerken group, has sold its 16 year old 103 metre Palfinger/Wumag WT1000 truck mounted platform to crane and aerial lift rental company Movigru Oliva in Polistena, Calabria, near the toe of Italy.
The 103 metre Palfinger arrives with Movigru
The deal was brokered through KuCon Expert Consulting, which is run by former Ruthmann chief executive Rolf Kulawik, and sold through aerial company Oxley Piattaforme. Gerken has replaced the big Palfinger, which is mounted on a five axle Faun crane carrier, with one of the new 100 metre Ruthmann T1000 HFs.

Movigru was established around 30 years ago and runs a range of cranes up to 200 tonne All Terrains, as well as boom and scissor lifts and telehandlers. It works through Calabria and in Sicily.
Checking the full stick
Gerken was one of the first to purchase a 100 metre platform when it took the second Ruthmann TTS1000 off the production line in 2001, 10 years later, it sold that machine to Abilene High Lift of Abilene, Texas.
