Berni Rent was established in 2010 by Remo Berni and is based in Città di Castello in Perugia- due west of Sienna, its 200 unit rental fleet includes aerial work platforms, telehandlers, mini pick & carry cranes, loader cranes and forklifts, all of which are managed by a staff of 14, Berni’s wife Patrizia and sons Lorenzo, Riccardo and Gianluca. The company has recently opened offices in Umbertide (Perugia) and Sansepolcro (Arezzo).
As the rationale for buying the MXE160 Berni said: “The choice fell on this model because here in the Apennine area there are several small villages with narrow roads and very complicated historical town centres. We therefore needed a vehicle capable of moving over often rough terrain and in confined spaces.”
