70m Ruthmann for MB

Belgian transport and handling company MB Groupe has taken delivery of a 70 metre Ruhhmann T700 HF truck mounted platform.

Mounted on an MAN chassis, the T700 HF features a five section main boom, topped by a three section upper boom and an articulating jib, all of which provides a maximum outreach of 41 metres, or up to 35 metres at an up & over height of 47 metres. Maximum platform capacity is 600kg. The platform was purchased through Dutch dealer HDW Belux, which acquired Time Benelux, the Belgian distributor for Versalift and Ruthmann in 2016.

Mike van den Bosch of HDW Belux said: "HDW Belux had the honour of delivering the very first Ruthmann Steiger to the MB Groupe. After a thorough training by Toon Schouteten, the final delivery took place.”

Based east of Liége in south east Belgium, MB Groupe is made up of five companies: MB Transport, MB Handling, MB Logistics, MB Sheet metal and MB Solutions. It operates within the energy/ electricity sector as well as construction, telecommunications, events and distribution, running a fleet of 16 All Terrain cranes, loader cranes, truck mounted lifts, mobile self-erecting tower cranes, pick & carry cranes, spider cranes and forklifts.
