Celebrating its world premiere at this year’s APEX trade show in Amsterdam: the RUTHMANN HEIGHT performance-STEIGER^® T 400.

Like the other models in the popular HEIGHT performance series, the T 400 provides top performance and scores major points with its exceptional price-performance ratio.

Of course, this newest RUTHMANNSTEIGER^® innovation comes with the same useful features as those found on the other exciting models (T 380,
T 460, T 540, T 630 and top-of-the- range T 720) in the HEIGHT performance series. Models in this series have become immensely popular in Germany and around the world.

The RUTHMANN HEIGHT performance-series sets the ultimate benchmark for large-scale machinery.  The innovative upper boom – up to 20 m long – with its movable jib (RÜSSEL^®) makes a real difference. RUTHMANN also utilizes the most innovative steel fabrication methods.

The T 400 has the largest telescoping work cage in its category and can be ordered with the optional Lift-Up System (to lift heavy and bulky items). Furthermore, the T 400 can be mounted on all common truck makes and models. The total vehicle length is a compact 9.76 metres.

LTE expansion work and UMTS improvements continue unabated. Only truck-mounted aerial work platforms with exceptional agility can get the job done safely and efficiently. The brand new RUTHMANN T 400 is absolutely perfect for this type of assignment.

The picture (on the left) illustrates the amazing performance capabilities of the T 400. It comes with a 31 m lateral reach and enormous upper boom length. The movable jib (RÜSSEL^®) and the rotating/ telescoping work cage, guarantee maximum agility at the job site.

Work platform rental companies have noticed a growing demand for truck-mounted aerial work platforms in the 40 m working height category.  A major reason for this can be attributed to the ongoing LTE expansion initiative. Mobile network operators often choose work platforms with a 40 m working height range. With the new T 400 and T 480 (48 m working height and 2-axle chassis), RUTHMANN has firmly set its sights on this growing sector. Customers now have two models from which to choose from.

Even before the T 400 made its international debut in Amsterdam, RUTHMANN had already recorded an influx of incoming orders for this newest HEIGHT performance-innovation.

The long upper boom and movable jib (RÜSSEL^®), give the STEIGER^® T 400 the performance capabilities to carry out assignments safely and efficiently when working up high. Its amazing agility even allows operators to work BEHIND objects. Pictured here: the
T 400 and its fully adjustable support mechanism. With outriggers extended on one side only, traffic continues to move freely at this job site.

In addition to compact overall dimensions – total vehicle length of just 9.75 m and height of just 3.76 m – the new T 400 also has amazing performance capabilities. RUTHMANN’s newest work platform features a 40 m working height and 31 m lateral reach.
