Italian aerial lift manufacturer CTE has appointed Key-Tec as its truck mounted lift distributor for Belgium.
Key-Tec will sell and support both CTE Zed and B-Lift truck mounted model ranges, throughout the country but will not handle the CTE Tracess spider lift products, as it already offers CMC spider lifts. Other products include Manitou telehandlers and aerial work platforms and Case construction equipment. The two companies have been discussing a partnership since last year, when Key-Tec managers visited CTE headquarters as part of an evaluation and research programme it conducted before choosing a supplier.
The company was established in 1996 and is based in Moerbeke- between Antwerp and Ghent on the northern border with the Dutch province of Zeeland. It employs 50 in total, including 25 technicians and nine sales staff. The company has launched its new partnership by taking an 18 metre B-Lift 18 HV Evo and Zed 20.4 HN into stock, both are mounted on Iveco Daily chassis. The ‘CTE Academy’ has also organised onsite technical training on both models.

Export area manager Tim Hunt said: “We very excited to welcome Sven, Peter and their team to the CTE dealer network for truck mounted platforms. Partnering with a company like Key-Tec that today supports some of Europe’s leading telehandler and access platform brand is not only a valuable addition to our dealer network but will also provide CTE customers in Belgium with outstanding technical assistance and commercial support.”

Peter Hesters, the new Key-Tec manager for CTE products added: “Key-Tec is delighted that we can now offer our customers a wider range of aerial access platforms thanks to this partnership. With an optimistic outlook on the future, we are thrilled to work together with a leading manufacturer like CTE that has a strong international reach in the truck mounted platforms.”
