German rental company Gerken has taken delivery of the first production unit of Ruthmann’s new 30 metre T300 XS Hybrid truck mounted platform.
The first Ruthmann T300 XS Hybrid to be delivered
Launched at Bauma in late October, the T300 XS Hybrid features a five section telescopic boom, topped by a jib with up to 185 degrees of articulation, providing up to 23 metres of outreach with 100kg, or just over 17.5 metres with the maximum platform capacity of 350kg. The unit is mounted on a regular diesel powered 7.5 tonne MAN or Iveco chassis.
The superstructure is battery powered with a 12.8 kW lithium battery pack, good for up to 13 full working cycles, and can be recharged by the truck engine, when travelling between jobs or simply plugged into a mains outlet. A full recharge takes four hours. It can also operate from the regular truck engine PTO. Function speeds are said to be close to that of the standard diesel model, but with a lot less noise and no emissions.
