First 70m Ruthmann for France

French crane and access rental company Hugon Manutention has taken delivery of the first 70 metre Ruthmann T 700 HF truck mounted platform to arrive in the country. It has also taken a 51 metre T 510 HF as part of the same order.

Launched last year (see: New 70m compact Ruthmann), the T 700 HF tops the company’s truck mounted fleet with a 70 metre working height and an outreach of 41 metres. It also offers an up & over height of 47 metres with an outreach of 35 metres and a platform capacity of 100kg, while maximum platform capacity is 600kg.

Mounted on a Volvo FM 500 chassis, features include a 3.82 metre by 970mm extendable platform, up to 17 metres of below ground reach and Ruthmann's Dynamic Reach System (DRS), which provides the optimum working envelope based on the position of the outriggers, the boom, slew position and the weight in basket.
