Early on Monday evening, we were called out with two cranes for a spectacular rescue operation at the Hessian State Parliament in Wiesbaden. During construction work, an approx. 35 m long scaffolding section of a 4-part roof structure buckled.

Using two GROVE telescopic cranes, we were able to secure the scaffolding and lower it to the ground in a controlled manner.
