Ruthmann launches 29m 3.5t truck mount

Ruthmann has held a launch event in Hamburg to unveil its latest new products, including the TB 290, a 29 metre platform on a 3.5 tonne chassis.

The new machine is one of two new 3.5 tonne models, the other being the 25 metre TBR 250 which was already announced, although it will take a back seat to the 29 metre model, and should appear in early 2017.

Meanwhile the 29 metre TB 290 sets a new record for an aerial lift on a 3.5 tonne chassis. The straight telescopic model has evolved from the 27 metre TB 270+, it has an outreach of 16.2 metres with 100kg, and a maximum platform capacity of 230kg, although it cannot take this above 26 metres or so.

The TBR 250 will share the same outreach and platform capacity.

Head of research and development Nico Krekeler said: "It has been a very successful day, with some excellent machines and interesting discussions. We now have a lot of input for new ideas, and we will use the feedback to implement future plans."

Head of sales Uwe Strotmann added: "We are happy that so many people have come from all over the world to see our new machines. We wanted to offer a venue and an event that would make people feel happy, and the feedback has been extremely positive. There is a familiarity to the new machines, meaning that users don't have to get used to a new machine, making the applications a lot easier for them."

This event has been a good chance for both parties to share ideas for the future, and we are very proud to have the Ruthmann name on our products."
