CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Olé – STEIGER ® for AP Lift from Spain
INTERVIEW WITH ALBERTO PIÑEIRO
The well-known Spanish equipment rental company – AP Lift – recently took delivery of our HEIGHT
performance-STEIGER ® T 630 and a 3.5 t STEIGER ® TB 270+. The deal was arranged by AMCO
Machinery & Consulting – our new sales and service partner in Spain.
Owner und General Manager of AP Lift, Alberto Piñeiro, picked up the models at our factory in Gescher,
Germany. We asked him why he chose these particular models and what type of assignments await these
professional truck-mounted aerial work platforms in Spain.
Editorial Staff:
Mr. Piñeiro, can you please tell us why you decided
to purchase two RUTHMANNSTEIGER ® -models at
the same time?
Alberto Piñeiro:
RUTHMANN is a market-leading manufacturer of
truck-mounted aerial work platforms, known for
their high-performance capabilities and customer
value. In Spain, the STEIGER ® name is synonymous
with innovative technology and the highest quality
and safety standards. In every work platform
category, RUTHMANN stands for German quality
at its finest. RUTHMANN has exactly what my
rental customers and I have been looking for.
Editorial Staff:
For which target group/industry did you order the
HEIGHT performance-STEIGER ® T 630 and what
are the advantages of this model?
Alberto Piñeiro:
All of our rental customers will benefit from this
model. However, our new T 630 will mostly be
used for repair and maintenance assignments on
wind turbines, carried out by our own employees.
We have a separate department called
“PiñeiroWIND” that focuses solely on the wind
farm sector.
When working on wind turbines, operators
require truck-mounted aerial work platforms that
