Shortlisted together with Ruthmann and Palfinger, CTE is the only Italian company in all the various categories
After winning the prize SAIE INNOVATION in Bologna last October at SAIE Exhibition (for an effective innovation and also stand out for low environmental impact and energy efficiency in keeping with the latest needs of the construction industry), the truck mounted platform CTE B-LIFT 17 E is now shortlisted at the IAPA Awards in the “Truckmounted of the year“ category, chosen by the jury along with two other platforms, respectively of Ruthmann and Palfinger.
Among all the finalists of the various categories, CTE is the only Italian company in the list.
The final choice and the award ceremony will take place in London-Wembley on April 4th.
FOCUS ON PRODUCTS:
The battery-powered aerial platform is the ideal solution for working in indoor spaces, or where pollution from engines or noise is not allowed.
CTE B-LIFT 17E is an extremely versatile model: 16.6m of working height, 11.3 m of outreach, 250 kg of capacity, more than 500Ah battery that guarantees 1,5 hours of continuous work and once exhausted, it recharges with PTO (i.e. during the transit on the road or during the use with engine) or with electric power in max 8 hours.
The “E” of the product name is for the ecologic version of the platform.
The platform is made of 2 mm SSAB Strenx steel.
This model presents the revolution applied to the electrical and hydraulic systems with the introduction of a CAN BUS management system and a new hydraulic management system. The user-friendly interfaces of CTE B-LIFT truck-mounted range are the same implemented on the articulated range CTE ZED, with fully proportional electro-hydraulic controls, engine variable speed depending on the used maneuvers, smooth maneuvers with acceleration and deceleration ramps, electric PTO. An innovative remote console is housed in a specific box on the platform flat deck. To simplify the management of the service, it has been studied a diagnostic tool in common with other CTE platforms (ZED, TRACCESS, B-LIFT). CTE’s aim is to unify hydraulic, electrical and electronic components of truck-mounted platforms CTE ZED and CTE B-LIFT to facilitate understanding, use and maintenance, and to offer a unique brand experience to their customers.
