The Palfinger WT 530 platform provides local musicians with the perfect stage at the Austrian Lions Club charity event

Austrian platform manufacturer Palfinger took fundraising to new heights when it provided a WT 530 jumbo access platform for the annual jumble sale of the Austrian Lions Club of Mattsee-Trumerseen.

The WT 530 offered visitors a bird's eye view of proceedings and the Trumerseen lakes from a height of 53m in exchange for a small charity donation. The platform performed over 100 lifts throughout the event, with local musicians even taking to the skies to perform from the basket.

The annual two-day Austrian Lions event, which took place in early August, raises funds for social projects in the region.
