World premiere of STEIGER ® TB 270+ - The very best work platform on a 3.5 t chassis

The development was essential due to the new EURO 6 emission standards which will become mandatory in many European countries beginning autumn of 2015. Because EURO 6 vehicles are much heavier than those with the previous EURO 5 chassis, the overall weight of STEIGER® work platforms had to be reduced.

RUTHMANN relied on its innovative steel fabrication techniques and design – including the multi-bevelled boom system and tower from the successful TBR 220 model – in order to achieve its goal. The TB 270+ is already EURO 6 compatible and can be mounted on the most up-to-date trucks in the 3.5 t category. These include the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, VW Crafter, Nissan Cabstar, or Renault Maxcity.

The many innovative features and additional capabilities of the newly developed STEIGER ® have also enhanced the performance capacity of the work platform. Operators can reach extra 3 metres of working height because the full 27 m working height is attainable at the maximum 230 kg cage load capacity. With a cage load of 100 kg, the TB 270+ has an outstandling lateral reach of 16.4 m. That is almost two metres more than its predecessor.

This new model has already sold extremely well.  The TB 270+ exhibited at Intermat, will stay in France at the conclusion of the trade show. Kiloutou – one of the largest rental companies in France – has decided to purchase the TB 270+ model on display. The reason why, will be revealed during the Intermat trade show.
