At the TIME Manufacturing Company press conference held at the APEX trade show in Maastricht, access platform manufacturer RUTHMANN announced the new RUTHMANN STEIGER® T 1000 HF, which will be launched live as early as next year. This groundbreaking truck-mounted platform with an impressive working height of 100 metres - based on the successful RUTHMANNSTEIGER® T 900 HF - will be particularly flexible in use. Built on a 53 t standard chassis, the truck mounted platform will be up to 10 t lighter than other 100 m machines on the market.
The announcement was made in a most spectacular manner when a team of RUTHMANN employees, including the experienced developers of the new machine, delivered the news by bicycle from Gescher to Maastricht. The top-secret envelope containing the latest information about the RUTHMANNSTEIGER® T 1000 HF created an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation.
During the press conference itself, the innovative machine was finally unveiled on an impressive wall that amazed the audience. The 100-metre height of the RUTHMANNSTEIGER® T 1000 HF opens up a whole new dimension in access platform technology and offers professionals from various industries such as rental, wind energy, construction or maintenance a versatile tool for their demanding tasks.
The announcement of the novelty was accompanied by the fact that two units of the RUTHMANNSTEIGER®s T 1000 HF have already been sold before the official sales launch. One of the lucky buyers is the renowned French work platform rental company JOLY, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The founder and owner Marcel JOLY, was personally present during the trade fair and the press conference and instructed the order. Marcel JOLY's decision is particularly remarkable, as he had expressed a few years ago that he would like to have a 100-metre STEIGER® before his 100th birthday. Thanks to RUTHMANN, his long-cherished wish will soon become reality.
The introduction of the RUTHMANNSTEIGER®s T 1000 HF promises to be a revolutionary advancement in the truck mounted access industry and will bring new opportunities to customers worldwide. RUTHMANN has once again proven that it maintains its position as a leader in the design and manufacture of innovative access equipment. The future presentation of the RUTHMANNSTEIGER® T 1000 HF is undoubtedly eagerly awaited and the industry can look forward to seeing what other innovations RUTHMANN has in store for the future.
