Ruthmann Steiger – aerial work platform from Gescher on a 3.5-tonne van chassis: 2,143 cc four-cylinder diesel, 3,318 to 3,360 kg kerb weight, drivable on a car licence
Ruthmann is a manufacturer of aerial work platforms based in Gescher in the Münsterland region of Germany, supplying trades businesses, industry and public authorities with its bodies. The Steiger line mounts the platform on a van chassis with a 3.5-tonne gross vehicle weight, meaning the vehicles can be driven on an ordinary category B car licence. TB and TBR denote different boom and basket configurations within the range.

The register lists 6 versions with the 2,143 cc four-cylinder diesel engine, kerb weights of 3,318 to 3,360 kg and a consistent 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight, lengths of 7,480 to 8,070 mm and a width of 2,300 mm.
The 3.5-tonne class is attractive to trades businesses, municipalities and service providers because it offers the working height and reach of an aerial platform without requiring drivers to hold a truck licence; typical uses include tree care, facade work, and lighting and cable installation.
When buying used, check the hydraulic tightness of the boom and cylinders, the condition of the work basket and its insulation for work near power lines, the platform's separate inspection sticker alongside the vehicle inspection, rust on the chassis, and the condition of the control electronics and the emergency lowering system; parts and servicing run directly through Ruthmann.
