Ruthmann Steiger TU 285 powered access platform

The Ruthmann TU285 is an extremely compact truck mounted MEWP (mobile elevating work platform) which is perfect for providing safe work at height in cramped city centre locations. It has a working height of up to 28.5 meters and a lateral outreach of up to 20.5 meters, very handy when you can’t position the MEWP directly below your work site.

The upper boom has been designed to be exceptionally long allowing it to be manoeuvred over objects to access hard to reach places. The tower section of the boom is located at the rear of the truck giving the operator unprecedented sensitivity and precision of positioning.

This powered access platform has a 320 kg cage load capacity which allows you to safely lift both you and your work equipment to your high level working position. Mounted on a 7.49 tonne vehicle this truck mounted MEWP is available for hire with one of our trained operators.

We have a great range of cherry pickers for hire in a range of sizes to suit any project, contact us today for more information about our range of specialist powered access platforms available for hire throughout the UK.
