With a reach of 27 m, the small truck’s reach has increased by 5 m compared to previous models, or 22%. Steiger TB270 has a 14.8 m outreach and a maximum cage capacity of 230 kg.

The Netherlands-based access equipment provider Doornbos Equipment BV has taken deliver of its fifth Ruthmann TB-series truck mounted lift.

The company has already received four TB220.2 truck mounted lifts, offering a 22 m working height and a 14 m outreach on a 3.5 tonne chassis. The final unit, a TB270, offers a 27 m working height, a 14.8 m outreach and a 230 kg load capacity.

Denise Doornbos, director of access equipment, said her customers were impressed by the Ruthmann truck mounts and that the TB270 would be well received.

Kwak Hoogwerker Centrum, sales and service partner for Ruthmann for The Netherlands, supplied all five TB-series lifts.
