This year’s Bauma trade show sets the stage for RUTHMANNs latest truck-mounted aerial work platform innovations: the RUTHMANN STEIGER® TB 300, TB 290 pro, and TB 270 pro.

The new 3.5-t TB/TBR-STEIGER® models in the brand new "Hi-light Performance" range reveal RUTHMANNs plan to further strengthen and expand its national and international market-leading position in the 3.5-t category. Through state-of-the-art engineering, the German access-platform manufacturer offers customers an array of technical advantages for a wide variety of individual requirements.

The manufacturer of aerial working platforms RUTHMANN from the Germany’s Münsterland region invites once again this year to the bauma and presents traditionally its innovations in the south outdoor area on the stand FS 1006/4. The world’s leading trading show for construction machinery will open its doors from the 8th to the 14th of April 2019 in Munich.

RUTHMANN prepares itself and its customers for the future. As early as April 2019, the manufacturer of aerial working platforms will present the first complete electric STEIGER®. The RUTHMANN AMPERO TBR 250 E will be presented live during the bauma 2019 in Munich.

In addition to the industrial applications, the new Felbermayr acquisition in the rental segment of aerial working platforms is also an ideal unit for assessing and restoring cultural monuments as demonstrated through the SKYperformance STEIGER® T 900 HF during its use for the Klosterneuburg Monastery.

Truck-mounted aerial work platforms (boom trucks) are often used on assignments in high-density areas (e.g. inner-cities, parks, etc.). Passersby often complain about the noise and exhaust emissions from running engines, which are normally used to power the work platform. The new ECOLINE hybrid drive models – with 16 m and 18 m working heights – now offer quiet, CO2-free and emission-free operation.

For the German STEIGER® manufacturer – RUTHMANN – the DRS (Dynamic Reach System) ushers in a new era in control technology. For STEIGER® customers, the unprecedented performance capabilities unlock groundbreaking opportunities at the job site.

In the context of announcing the STEIGER® T 900 HF, RUTHMANN is also presenting the new work basket for the highflex series of large-scale equipment. The innovations offer a long list of benefits.

Through the new BLUELIFT SA 31, RUTHMANN creates a tracked spider lift for specifically inaccessible working places and likewise suitable for everyday life. The SA 31 can be positioned in the segment of the 30-meter high tracked spider lifts primarily on account of its compact dimensions and newly developed functions. Fields of applications for the SA 31 are e.g. tree-pruning, industrial cleaning (e.g. in backyards), in indoor and outdoor areas which generally are difficult to access (shopping centres, exhibition halls) and moreover in a wide range of industrial applications (assembly project, observations). RUTHMANN satisfies with the SA 31 the researched needs of the customers and operators.
