CTE adds to truck-mount range

CTE has unveiled the ZED 20.2 - its new articulated truck-mounted platform with a loading capacity of up to 300kg and 20m working height. Said to represent the evolution of ZED 20C, the ZED 20.2 platform is aimed at meeting the increasing demand of the European market to provide machines with capacities increased on license B for greater versatility of use. The platform has an improved hydraulic rotation lock and ring rotation up to 340°. The ZED 20.2 is also said by CTE to have the same compactness as the

4846 CTE has unveiled the ZED 20.2 - its new articulated truck-mounted platform with a loading capacity of up to 300kg and 20m working height.

Said to represent the evolution of ZED 20C, the ZED 20.2 platform is aimed at meeting the increasing demand of the European market to provide machines with capacities increased on license B for greater versatility of use.

The platform has an improved hydraulic rotation lock and ring rotation up to 340°. The ZED 20.2 is also said by CTE to have the same compactness as the ZED 20C and ZED 20 CH platforms, with a stowed height of just 2.5m.

Meanwhile, patented H stabilisation with connecting rods is said to guarantee the release of the beam, and consequently the stabiliser, in one movement, without the aid of screw jacks and of cylinders. When working with the platform near a pavement, you can stabilise the platform with two stabilisers on the pavement and two on the street. The ‘A’ shape H stabilisation system reduces the usual 220mm difference in level between the pavement and street to just 120mm.

The ZED 20.2 has, according to CTE, a new ergonomic protection panel in the basket to ensure better visibility and ease of use. The platform’s controls are positioned tilted towards the operator and repaired by a new hinged lid.

    US and European asphalt paving needs are different, but some firms are bridging that gap, reports Mike Woof. With a clear differentiation between the US and European asphalt paving markets, manufacturers from the latter are now developing machines aimed at the former. The US and European markets for paving machines have developed along very different lines. North American pavers are designed for high throughputs and high paving rates, having been designed to meet a need to build roads over long distances wi

    Mention the letters MTV and most people will think you’re referring to Music Television, the firm that revolutionised the music video. But in the road construction sector the letters have another meaning: Material Transfer Vehicle. Roadtec pioneered the MTV concept with its Shuttle Buggy, which it introduced in 1989. The concept was a novel one, providing a transition between the truck hauling the asphalt to the site and the asphalt paver. The idea of the machine was that it would provide a buffer system

    Increased performance and more durable construction are key features of new generation excavators – Mike Woof writes. All the major equipment manufacturers are introducing new hydraulic excavators to meet market demand. These machines are offering increased output at the same time as producing lower emission levels and burning less fuel than before. From Caterpillar for instance comes its new 330F, which features a maximum operating weight of 29.75tonnes and is powered by a 178kW Cat C7.1 ACERT diesel that
