Ommelift trailer for KFR

German access rental company KFR-Mietlifte has taken delivery of a 16.8 metre Ommelift 1700 EXB articulated trailer lift.

The new platform has an outreach of 9.1 metres at an up and over height of six metres, with an unrestricted 200kg platform capacity. The battery powered unit can also be used while connected to the AC power supply. The unit also features self-propelled wheel drive and has a stowed length of 6.25 metres, and an overall height of just under two metres.

The Münster based company was originally established in the mid 1980s by two young entrepreneurs Hans Joachim Kramer, a locksmith and Andreas Reinkenhoff to design and erect specialist steel buildings, and were then joined by Holger Frenking – thus the name KFR – who ran a car repair and service business. The first platforms arrived as the young company needed them in their work, but found few units available to rent locally. After having purchased its first 10 units, it realised that renting the machines out to others was a lucrative business, for which there was strong demand. After getting started in 1987 it formed a separate company access rental company KFR-Mietlife, which now offers a wide range of access equipment, including truck and trailer mounted lifts, plus booms and scissor lifts and a wide range of scaffold towers and material lifts.
