Not only that, in the fine print they advertise that will transport your up to 400kg heavy treasures quickly at a whispering silence thank to its electric motor.

To me, this smells of satire. Because that's peak German humour.

I think it‘s real, saw an interview with the ceo of the company yesterday. Apparently the lift was stolen and then used for the heist. They sort of made the best of it.

So they aren't even responsible for renting/selling to the thieves?
And the thieves showed of a unique feature?
Things are lining up a little to well for them... The obvious conclusion ist, that the heist was a publicity stunt by the crane company.
