Jungheinrich and Riwal agree to cooperate internationally

  • Cooperation in the international rental business

  • A combined one-stop shop for optimal customer benefit

  • Wide range of forklift trucks and powered access equipment

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. Jungheinrich will use Riwal aerial work platforms for logistics centers, while Riwal will be able to offer Jungheinrich forklifts in other segments. 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.

By working with Riwal, we can serve the market with an expanded and optimally coordinated product portfolio. This partnership makes the rental of forklift trucks and access equipment much easier and more efficient for our customers. We look forward to working with Riwal to leverage business opportunities as both companies share the same corporate values.”

In addition, Riwal and Jungheinrich equipment were used to build hospitality villages in various stopovers across the world.
