New CTE Zed 21 JH – first pictures

Italian truck mounted lift manufacturer CTE has launched the latest version of its popular Zed 21 range of articulated truck mounts – the Zed 21 JH. With a 20.7 metre working height the platform has been totally redesigned with lower overall height, reduced weight and improved capacity.

Like its predecessor it includes a dual sigma-type riser, telescopic boom and articulated jib, which now offers 145 degrees of articulation, compared to 110 degrees on the old model. However the biggest change is probably the 300kg unrestricted platform capacity while up and over reach is nine metres and the working outreach around 9.5 metres.

Overall height has been reduced from 2.85 metres to 2.6 metres with length 6.8 metres.
The new model also employs CTE’s mechanical link ‘H’ stabilisation system which deploys the beam and outrigger in a single movement, which CTE says can cope with level differences, such as pavements/sidewalks of up to 220mm.

The Zed 21 JH uses CTE's mechanical H stabilisation system which deploys the beam and outrigger in a single movement.

While the fully deployed outriggers do not fall within the machine’s overall width, the total footprint is just less than three metres. All hoses and cables are internal, while a new control panel is said to make operation easier, improves visibility and has a protective cover.

“CTE with the new ZED 21 JH is the product of continuous improvement of our platforms” tells Luca Piovan, CTE marketing director. “This demonstrates we are able to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of the European market. In fact, thanks to the study of new materials, CTE reaches ever higher technology levels of performance.”
