New location designed to help BKL serve the Rhine/Main region.

German crane rental firm Baukran Logistik (BKL) has expanded its presence in Germany with the opening of a new location in the Rhine/Main area. This strategic move aims to enhance BKL's ability to provide mobile cranes and tower crane services to customers in the south and east of the Frankfurt Metropolitan Region. The new subsidiary is situated on the B26 with easy access to the A3 and B469.

Jörg Hegestweiler, managing director at BKL, emphasized that the primary objective of the expansion strategy was to maintain strong relationships with customers throughout Germany and Europe and that the expansion represents a logical progression in their efforts to broaden the reach of their crane solutions in the Rhine/Main area.

Founded by Jürgen Volz in 1969, BKL is a family-owned company with over 50 years of experience in the industry. They currently employ approximately 330 staff across their seven locations spanning the north-south axis of Germany. As one of Europe's largest manufacturer-independent, full-service providers of crane solutions, BKL boasts a fleet that includes over 500 tower cranes, more than 100 mobile cranes, around 20 mobile construction cranes, and over 70 trucks, loader cranes, and low-loaders.
