Netherlands based rental company Collé has bought its first 103m working height WT1000 from Palfinger Platforms. The WT1000 joins a number of truck mounted platforms recently purchased from Palfinger, including several 70m working height units, and means Collé's truck mount fleet now spans a rangefrom 16m to 103m.

Collé is pursuing a "re-rent" hire concept through partnerships with other hire companies all over Europe. As a result, the new units no longer exclusively sport the company's traditional blue livery, but have been painted in a neutral white. This means that Collé can offer potential partners a complete range, which can be deployed globally.

Collé's management said it chose the Palfinger machines because they are: "Hirer-oriented products; provide top performance data and efficiency; have outstanding quality and durability; high resale value and have first-class design, developed and proven over years."
