Another STEIGER® T 380 XS is being delivered to SYSTEMLIFT Berning in the Münsterland region

Another STEIGER® T 380 XS from the new RUTHMANN XS series is heading to SYSTEMLIFT Berning in the Münsterland region—just a few kilometers from the RUTHMANN plant in Gescher. With this addition, the long-standing RUTHMANN customer is expanding its modern rental fleet with yet another high-performance machine “Made in Hochmoor.”

Berning is a well-established company known far beyond the Münsterland region for its rental of aerial work platforms and construction equipment. At its Gildestraße location, more than 500 rental units from Berning’s own fleet are available, and its affiliated rental partners offer a total of over 1,000 rental units, ranging from compact equipment for indoor use to large-scale platforms for demanding projects. In addition to personalized consultation, professional service, and training, Berning relies on reliable partnerships with leading manufacturers such as Ruthmann.

Starting in November, the new STEIGER® T 380 XS will be added to our rental fleet. This new model stands out for its compact dimensions and impressive performance:

  • Xtra Short: Vehicle length just 8.35 m (4×2)
  • Extra Power: Comes standard with DRS – up to 8 m more reach than competing models
  • Xtra Variable: A versatile tower for a wide range of applications—from working close to the ground to underfloor applications

With an actual reach of 32 m, the STEIGER® T 380 XS delivers performance that is unmatched in this vehicle class—both laterally and throughout the entire rear working area. This enormous working range ensures maximum flexibility on a wide variety of construction sites.

“We are capitalizing on the enormous advantages of the variable tower, which allows us to create workspaces and operational benefits that the market has not yet seen in this class,” explain Jan and Reinhard Berning, managing directors of Berning Miet- und Vertriebs GmbH & Co. KG.

“We are delighted that the T 380 XS is being put into service right on our doorstep. We have a long-standing partnership with Berning that is characterized by trust, quality, and a commitment to customer service,” says Uwe Strotmann, Chief Commercial Officer of TIME Europe.

As a member of SYSTEM LIFT AG, a network of over 80 rental partners with approximately 20,000 pieces of equipment, Berning is able to offer its customers nationwide availability and a consistently high standard of service.

With the delivery of the first production model of the STEIGER® T 380 XS, Ruthmann is once again setting a new standard for innovation and customer focus, and looks forward to seeing this long-reach giant in regular use on the roads of the Münsterland region in the future.
