CTE quartet for AFI

UK aerial lift rental company AFI rentals has ordered four 21 metre CTE ZED 21.3 JHV articulated truck mounted platforms.

Mounted on a 3.5 tonne Iveco chassis, the ZED 21.3 JHV features a dual sigma type riser topped by a two section telescopic boom and articulated jib. It has a maximum outreach of 10 metres with 100kg in the 1.4 metre by 700mm basket, and a maximum working height of 21 metres with the maximum platform capacity of 300kg.

CTE UK general manager, James Bunting said: “I would like to thank Pete Wajner for considering us to help expand their hire fleet. This was a tight delivery window, but our staff managed to process the machines in record time.”

“The Z21.3 range is one of our most recognised machines and has been extremely popular with both hire companies and end users since its conception. While the perfect machine may not exist, the Z21.3 is a good all-round product for most applications.”

AFI's managing director specialist rentals Peter Wajner added: “Thanks to Jamie Kirsopp and Matthew Dean for helping us collect two of our four new CTE ZED21JHV’s this week. The four machines will go straight into our Wilson Division to support the growth of that business.”

Based in Wakefield, Yorkshire, AFI operates from 20 locations across the UK and six in the Middle East, with a combined rental fleet of 6,000 units. The company's UK fleet is now said to be 70 percent electric/hybrid. It is also an IPAF training provider.
