This theme cycle holds a particular fascination for fans of the WIKING brand, and for good reason: No fewer than 14 models inspired by Paul Rosenkranz, a former household name in Europe for forwarding services as well as heavy goods transports and truck-mounted cranes, form an impressive collection that testifies to the importance of this theme. This collection is now further enhanced by yet another transport specialist: the low-loader trailer. Better yet, the collection also makes it a breeze for collectors to find a matching tractor unit. In the sixties and seventies, the name Paul Rosenkranz undeniably epitomised expertise in all matters of heavy goods transport - whether by crane or on the road. From its humble beginnings as a coal shop in Witten on the Ruhr, the company evolved into a major corporation and came to provide a variety of transport vehicles for different purposes.
