Ruthmann will return to the 100 metre truck mounted lift market next year with the T-1000 HF.
The announcement comes 22 years after it launched the first 100 metre truck mounted lift, the TTS1000 of which only two were ever built - one for Gardemann and one for Gerken - both of which are, we understand still in operation. see also: 100m Ruthmann heads for USA
The company has not released many details on the new machine which is expected to be available to ship late next year. However, we do know that it uses the same five section lower boom, four section upper boom and HF articulating jib as on the T900 HF but with longer boom sections.
The T1000 HF will be mounted on a five axle chassis such as the Scania T 500 with an all up weight of 53 tonnes which Ruthmann claims is substantially lighter than the current products on the market from Bronto or Palfinger. We have not yet checked this for ourselves.
The new T-1000 HF is based on the current T900 HF
The company has sold the first unit to French rental company Joly Location, based in Dijon, and says that it has already booked an order for the second unit to a customer who prefers their identity to remain confidential. Marcel Joly of Joly location attended the launch announcement.
