The Ruthmann Steiger TTS1000 sold by German rental company Gerken to Abilene High Lift of Texas, has now been shipped after a refit/refurbishment at the Ruthmann service centre in Gescher-Hochmoor, Germany. The refit also included matching the trailer mounted lift with its new American Mack tractor unit and finally signwriting with the Abilene name. While there are now several models with a 100 plus metre working height, the Ruthmann, mounted on a six axle trailer with a three axle tractor, has the most outreach for this size of lift at 40 metres at heights of up to 60 metres. The unit includes Ruthmann’s remote information and diagnostic system which is programmed to work in the USA, allowing technicians in Germany to log in remotely to the control system if asked, in order to resolve technical or application problems.
