Finnish rental major Pekkaniska has launched a new division dedicated to truck mounted platforms and chosen Multitel Pagliero as its exclusive supplier.

The collaboration marks a strategic step for Pekkaniska, expanding its already comprehensive rental portfolio.

“The first batch of Multitel truck mounted platforms is significant, but for Pekkaniska it is only the beginning,” said Multitel. “The company has started, and will continue, to build a nationwide truck mounted platform rental service in line with current quality standards, as part of its nationwide rental network.”

Pekkaniska presented a Multitel MTE 270 EX at the Maxpo show, mounted on an Iveco Daily 35-14 chassis and finished in the company’s bespoke livery—highlighting the launch of the exclusive cooperation.

Pekkaniska, which specialises in access platforms and cranes manages, everything in-house from import and logistics to service and aftersales. This structure allows the company to integrate new product lines quickly and effectively, it said. 

The new truck mounted platform division will initially be managed by Pekkaniska’s existing team, integrating with the company’s in-house rental, service, and logistics operations. Future plans include customer feedback initiatives, additional fleet diversification, and ongoing staff training programs in collaboration with Multitel.

Market evaluation 

The decision to collaborate with Multitel came after careful evaluation of different European manufacturers. “We wanted a partner that has done this for a long time and continues to innovate,” said Henri Kopsala, Business Director at Pekkaniska. “What convinced us was not only the quality of the platforms but also the straightforward and effective communication: whenever we asked for something, we got real answers from the right people.”

Presenting the MTE 270 EX in Pekkaniska’s company colours at Maxpo allowed the company to reinforce that this was not just an equipment purchase but part of a new service.  Kopsala added, “We are proud to expand our service offering for customers who already value the quality we deliver. The launch of this new product line comes in response to long-standing customer demand to broaden into this segment.

“Customer needs are diverse, and every job requires the right equipment to create real added value. With our nationwide ‘one number’ principle, the entire Pekkaniska fleet is available through a single point of contact, wherever the work is located. This new product line strengthens our ability to serve customers more broadly, and with even higher quality.

Mirko Rebuzzi, Distribution Manager at Multitel Pagliero, added, “From the very first meeting, the Pekkaniska team showed professionalismn, clarity and high standards about their needs. They were highly focused on quality and equally attentive to the long-term support we could provide. Custom-branded units like the MTE 270 EX highlight our collaborative approach.”
