German tree care specialist AS TreeCare has added a Ruthmann work platform with a 38-meter working height to its fleet. The investment underscores the growing professionalization in the German tree care market, where specialized work platforms with high reach and narrow footprints are in demand. In addition to Ruthmann, manufacturers such as Haulotte are also benefiting from this trend toward specialization, as conventional truck-mounted work platforms often reach their limits for demanding tree care work in tight inner-city locations or on uneven terrain. The market for tree care equipment is growing in parallel with increasing demand for professional tree trimming and felling services in urban areas.
