The chassis incorporates hydraulically height- and width adjustable tracks and features three different stabiliser configurations, all of which can be set automatically. The 21 will also feature the popular corner-mounted basket with 180 rotation from the Leo 23GT. Standard power source is 230 volt AC electric, with the option of a Briggs&Stratton petrol or a Kubota diesel engine.

Teupen’s director of research and development Tobias Ritzenhoefer said: “The high basket load and huge outreach were achieved thanks to several innovations in lightweight steel construction, together with state-of-the-art forming and welding processes. The new structure of the profile forms and use of high-strength steel with thin but extremely rigid walls ensures unprecedented strength together with the highest levels of safety.”

Teupen will introduce a 2013 version of its Leo 23GT

Managing director Michael Wotschke added: “As both market and technology leader, we are aware that people look to us to make the next major step in the development of the tracked aerial concept. I am convinced that we have met these expectations perfectly with the Leo 21GT. It fills an important gap in our product portfolio for telescopic booms between the Leo18GT-plus and Leo 23GT.

Teupen will also introduce a number of product updates on its smaller Leo models, a 2013 version of it Leo 23GT and introduce a ‘Home’ function on its telescopic models Leo 25Tplus, Leo 30T and Leo 36T
