en.Wedoany.com Reported - German aerial work platform rental company Meyer Lift GmbH announced in June 2026 that it has once again introduced a 70-meter-class aerial work platform from German manufacturer Ruthmann. This marks the company's latest addition of a same-class unit following a previous procurement. The newly introduced model is the Ruthmann Steiger T 700 HF, a compact truck-mounted aerial work platform with a working height of 70 meters and a maximum horizontal outreach of 41 meters.
Meyer Lift GmbH is an equipment rental company headquartered in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, specializing in the rental and sales of aerial work platforms and construction machinery. Ruthmann is an international manufacturer of aerial work platforms, headquartered in Gescher-Hochmoor, Münsterland region, Germany, focusing on the research, development, and production of truck-mounted and tracked aerial work platforms. Founded in 1901, the company has a history of over 125 years and owns brands such as STEIGER, ECOLINE, and BLUELIFT.
The Ruthmann Steiger T 700 HF is a key model in the company's product line, built on a MAN truck chassis with an overall vehicle length of less than 12 meters, making it suitable for operations in space-constrained urban environments. The equipment features a combination design of five main booms, three upper booms, and an articulated jib, achieving a maximum horizontal outreach of 41 meters. It is also equipped with the Dynamic Reach System (DRS), which dynamically adjusts the working range and stability based on ground conditions, wind loads, or platform loads. With a working height of 70 meters and a maximum load capacity of 600 kilograms, this model meets the needs of various aerial work scenarios, including wind power maintenance, telecommunications base station repairs, and high-rise building maintenance. Ruthmann is continuously advancing the update and iteration of its aerial work platform product line.
Technological iteration in the aerial work platform industry is accelerating. With the deepening of global urbanization and the sustained growth in maintenance demands for infrastructure such as wind power and telecommunications, the market for truck-mounted aerial work platforms at heights of 70 meters and above is experiencing rapid growth. Meyer Lift's latest addition of a same-class unit reflects the stable demand for large aerial work platforms in the German rental market. The introduction of this equipment will further enhance Meyer Lift's aerial work service capabilities in the German and European markets.
