Ruthmann, a sister brand of Versalift, is an industry leader in the high reach work platforms that support the wind energy industry, an expanding source of global renewable energy.
The addition of Ruthmann is a significant step forward for Time Manufacturing Company’s Growth Plan. Ruthmann has engineered a uniquely capable line of world-class aerial devices that power the firm’s entry into the Wind Turbine Blade Maintenance business in North America. These units support many specialized access needs of telecommunications, electric utility, energy infrastructure, and other essential industries. Further, with the strength of Time Manufacturing Company management, operations, and distribution centers throughout the world, Ruthmann is poised to experience continued growth.
Ruthmann is a Leader in Wind Energy Blade Maintenance
The United States Increases Wind Energy Initiatives
Wind generated electricity now accounts for approximately 8.5% of total output in the United States, and approximately 45% of sustainably generated electric power. Electric power generated by wind is remarkably inexpensive to produce once the infrastructure is in place. The states of Texas and Oklahoma, which are perhaps best known as big oil states, also happen to be the nation’s leaders in wind-generated electricity. This is not an accident: wind-generated electricity is currently the most efficient application of renewable energy generation. The most effective and efficient way to service and maintain wind turbines is through the use of high access work platforms reaching in excess of 200 feet.
Ruthmann, a Time Manufacturing brand, Supports the Wind Energy Industry
High access work platforms are an integral part of wind energy installation, maintenance and repair. Ruthmann high access work platforms are a wind energy industry leader and directly contribute to how wind energy will succeed in generating greater amounts of electric power.
Principally through Ruthmann, but also through its other high reach brands, Time Manufacturing Company supports the wind-powered electricity generation and wind farm maintenance industries in the United States, and around the world, deploying wind-turbine blade maintenance units to organizations across Europe, Africa, Asia and South America.
Safer and More Reliable Wind Energy Production with Ruthmann Equipment
Internationally, Ruthmann is known for its high reach innovations designed to support the wind energy industry. Ruthmann engineers design units with enormous reach on relatively lightweight work platforms. At heights commonly exceeding 200 feet, these units are capable of remaining highly stable at full working height and load in windy conditions, ensuring efficiency and safety of wind energy technicians. Ruthmann high access work platforms stow quickly, designed to return to their stowed traveling position in minutes. Exceeding dielectric testing of ANSI and OSHA, they offer the highest quality of safety for effective installation, blade/turbine maintenance, repair and inspection of wind turbines and blades.
