Ruthmann is a manufacturer of truck-mounted aerial work platforms based in Gescher, Westphalia. This collective page gathers the entries the register could not assign to a named series: a chassis type listed generically as RUTHMANN and an entry from Finnish vehicle-registration data describing the vehicle as umpikorinen (closed-bodied) with a displacement of 2,399 cc.

The register lists 2 versions here with four-cylinder diesels from 2,399 to 4,249 cc, an engine output of 55 kW, kerb weights of 3,080 to 3,585 kg, permissible gross weights of 4,200 to 7,490 kg, and lengths of 6,660 to 6,900 mm at a width of 2,550 mm.
Ruthmann operates in the market for chassis-based work platforms, where truck-mounted aerial platforms are used in tree care, facade and cable work, and municipal services; the gross-weight span from just over 3 to nearly 7.5 tonnes shows the transition from a light chassis to a heavy platform.
When buying a used example, check the condition and tightness of the boom and basket hydraulics, the function of the emergency lowering system, the condition of the frame and chassis, the brake system, and the platform's inspection sticker and test record; parts for the platform technology are available through Ruthmann service, and for the chassis through the respective truck manufacturer.
