Wide range of forklift trucks and powered access equipment.
Hamburg/Dordrecht: Jungheinrich, one of the leading providers of intralogistics solutions, and Riwal, the international aerial work platform and telehandler rental specialist will work together in the future on an international scale to rent their equipment.

The aim is to create a global one-stop shop for forklift trucks, aerial work platforms and telehandlers, providing customers of both companies easier access to the right equipment. The program has already taken effect in The Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia and Germany, with other countries to follow in the course of 2019.
