A year after founding Ruthmann Italia s.r.l., the first new model is making its debut at the Apex 2017 trade show in Amsterdam. This new model is a truck-mounted articulated work platform (articulating boom lift truck) on a 3.5 t chassis. With a working height of almost 24 m, the new ECOLINE RS 240 is now the top model in the thrifty, “low-budget” product line.

The working height exceeds the previous 20 m limit. Customers at home and abroad have always wanted an economical alternative with greater working height on a 3.5 t chassis. We have responded to this need by developing a compact, high-performance model, which – in addition to the 23.6 m working height – has so much more to offer.

Let’s start at the bottom. The horizontal/vertical support mechanism is fully variable. The swiveling range of the turret can optionally be increased from 360° to 440° (2 x 220°). The articulating telescopic boom system – typical for models in this category – is extremely sturdy because it is made of fine-grained steel. The large, standard aluminum basket (1.3 m x 0.7 m in size) can rotate 90° and comes with a 230 V power supply. The top-quality Hetronic control system provides safe, easy, and intuitive handling. End-position cushioning of the upper boom and the automatic start-stop function of the vehicle’s motor, nicely round off the many features found on the new and exciting Ecoline RS 240. The “home” function and automatic set-up/retraction mechanism are among the other features optionally available.

The Ruthmann Ecoline RS 240 – when mounted on a 3.5 t Nissan Cabstar chassis, for example – is just 6.91 m long and 2.56 m high. It is therefore ideal for assignments in cramped inner city conditions. However, because of the short overhangs in the front and rear of the vehicle – resulting in larger approach/departure angles – the RS 240, in a sense, can also be characterized an off-road vehicle. The Ecoline RS 240 also has an extraordinary 250-kg basket load capacity. The lateral outreach is an amazing 11.4 m at 100 kg, 9.1 m at 200 kg, and 8.3 m at 250 kg.

As with all the other models in its various series, Ruthmann provides Ecoline RS 240 customers with the best after-sales service in the entire work platform industry. The comprehensive network of service centers and mobile workshops are unparalleled in the low-budget sector. Spare parts are stocked at the central warehouse in Gescher-Hochmoor, Germany. Regardless of where they are – in Germany or other parts of the world – Ruthmann customers never have to wait long for parts.
