What years did putz. started useing alot of electrical/computer stuff ? Or what was the last year they made a simple 32/36m boom pump.

The computers were introduced as soon as euro3 emmission standards came into effect which was around late 1999 early 2000 = Mechadronic, eoc. Putzmeister had to integrate some truck engine management feature which now ran on exhaust sensors and drive by wire throttle. The rest was all just trying to make the operators job easier and safer though some would argue at the expense of the business owner = ebc, oss.

The last of the Simple 32/36 is the 4 stage roll and fold design around 1997.

However in saying this Putzmeister America at the time generally was behind a few years with their designs until they got the modern multi z boom and electrics i think 2000 onwards.

hehe. Making the operators life easier?? Was that the goal?? Well thats a fail than..
