This year’s German Tree Care Days once again provided an excellent platform for leading companies in the industry to present their latest products and technologies. Among the numerous exhibitors, the access platform manufacturer RUTHMANN attracted particular interest. The company took the opportunity to present its advanced work platforms, which have been specially developed for the requirements of tree care.
RUTHMANN STEIGER® T 300 XS
One of the highlights at the Ruthmann stand was the STEIGER® T 300 XS. This work platform impressed visitors with its compact design and exceptional performance. With an overall vehicle length of just 7.59 meters, the T 300 XS is the most compact 30-meter work platform on a 7.49-ton chassis currently available on the market. This short length enables enormous maneuverability, which is an invaluable advantage in tree care, where space is often at a premium.
The working platform offers an impressive reach of 23 meters, allowing it to cover a large working area without having to reposition the vehicle. This saves time and significantly increases the efficiency of tree care operations. The combination of compact size, long reach and high stability makes the STEIGER T 300 XS an ideal tool for demanding tree care work.
Another highlight was the RUTHMANN BLUELIFT ST 31, a compact working platform on a crawler chassis that can be used for a wide range of applications. With an impressive working height of 31 meters and a lateral outreach of 18 meters with a basket load of 100 kilograms, the BLUELIFT ST 31 sets new standards in its class. With an increased basket load of 400 kilograms, the reach is still a remarkable 14 meters.
This crawler work platform combines the proven STEIGER® technology from the premium segment with a powerful crawler chassis that is optimized for difficult terrain and tight spaces. The combination of the carrier and telescopic system of the STEIGER® T 330 with the crawler chassis makes the BLUELIFT ST 31 an extremely versatile and robust work platform that can be used in many areas of tree care and beyond.
Conclusion
RUTHMANN’s presentation at the German Tree Care Days 2024 impressively demonstrated how the company continuously develops innovative solutions for the challenges of tree care. Both the STEIGER® T 300 XS and the BLUELIFT ST 31 illustrate Ruthmann’s commitment to quality, safety and efficiency. The compact and powerful work platforms offer professional and reliable support for anyone working in tree care. The German Tree Care Days 2024 were therefore once again a valuable event for getting to know the latest developments and technologies in the industry.
