With the new V-Range, France Élévateur, Ruthmann and Movex are introducing a new generation of truck-mounted aerial work platforms, built around a simple principle: standardise to simplify.
To achieve this, the seven models in the range cover 17 to 27 metres of working height and are built on a common technical foundation. In addition, they share the same core features, including the XPC control system, hydraulic and electrical architectures, RTC connectivity, and operating philosophy.
As a result, this common architecture provides operators with a consistent experience from one model to another. At the same time, standardisation helps facilitate maintenance operations and simplifies day-to-day fleet management.
Furthermore, the V-Range is designed in particular for rental companies, municipalities, utility operators, telecommunications companies and infrastructure specialists. By combining a common technical foundation with different working configurations, the range therefore establishes a new benchmark in the 3.5-tonne truck-mounted aerial work platform category.

As a result, the V-Range forms a family of truck-mounted aerial work platforms developed around a common technical foundation for the European 3.5-tonne vehicle market.
To achieve this level of standardisation, the seven models share the same fundamental elements:
Thanks to this common technical foundation, standardisation supports the entire machine lifecycle while providing several tangible benefits for users.
First of all, a common operating logic means that operators find the same control principles from one model to another. As a result, familiarisation with the different machines in the range is made easier, helping operators move between models with greater consistency.
Similarly, technicians benefit from standardised architectures across the entire range. Consequently, common technical principles make diagnostics easier and help streamline maintenance operations.
In addition, the sharing of architectures and components helps reduce the diversity of references required to manage a fleet. This, in turn, can simplify spare parts management across the different models.
Ultimately, by simplifying operation, maintenance and fleet management, the V-Range helps streamline day-to-day activities. At the same time, this common approach supports improved machine availability and contributes to greater overall fleet productivity.
Each V-Range model is based on the same technical principles. What differentiates the machines is primarily their working envelope and boom configuration, allowing them to meet different operational requirements.
Working height: 17 metres
Boom type: Straight telescopic
To begin with, the V-170 is designed for urban environments and areas with restricted access. Its design prioritises manoeuvrability and day-to-day efficiency, particularly where access and space constraints are significant.

Working height: 20 metres
Boom type: Straight telescopic
The V-200 combines significant outreach, generous payload capacity and optimised road handling. It therefore provides a versatile solution, suited to a wide range of applications and to the needs of fleets looking for efficiency.

Working height: 20 metres
Boom type: Articulated with up-and-over capability and flyboom
The VA-200-F combines a compact design with an articulated boom equipped with a flyboom. This configuration therefore provides a high degree of precision for operations requiring access above and around obstacles.

Working height: 23 metres
Boom type: Straight telescopic
The V-230 offers a balance between working height and productivity. Thanks to its extended outreach, it combines this capability with a streamlined architecture designed to facilitate servicing and maintenance operations.

Working height: 24 metres
Boom type: Articulated with up-and-over capability
The VA-240 is designed for the most complex worksites and working environments. Thanks to its articulated boom, it offers significant outreach and a high degree of positioning capability, facilitating operations that require precision and control at height.

Working height: 25 metres
Boom type: Telescopic with flyboom
Thanks to its telescopic boom combined with a flyboom, the V-250-F offers both direct outreach and greater access flexibility. It can therefore adapt more easily to operations carried out on sites with specific access constraints.

Working height: 27 metres
Boom type: Straight telescopic
Finally, at the top of the range, the V-270 is designed to meet the most demanding applications, requiring both maximum working height and a high level of stability.

With the V-Range, the companies within the Time Group are thus evolving the traditional approach to truck-mounted aerial work platform fleets by focusing on a more homogeneous, standardised range designed to simplify day-to-day operation.
The aim is to provide greater consistency between machines, while retaining configurations suited to different operational requirements.
More specifically, this approach is based on a common technical architecture, a harmonised operating logic and a consistent service philosophy across the entire range. As a result, all seven models share the same fundamentals while meeting different operational needs and applications.
Seven models, one platform and, above all, one consistent operating and service philosophy.
Series production and first deliveries are scheduled to take place progressively throughout 2026, depending on the model. Prototypes will also be presented at several major industry events across Europe.
