INS FOR DEVELOPING A HIGHLY INNOVATIVE TRUCK-MOUNTED SKY-LIFT THAT
GIVES ACCESS TO CONFINED SPACES WHERE TRADITIONAL SOLUTIONS FAIL, CTE
HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE SWEDISH STEEL PRIZE 2018.
New Delhi, May 17, 2018: The Swedish Steel Prize is awarded annually to recognize the most innovative design utilizing high-performance steel. CTE S.p.A., from
Italy, is one of the four finalists for this year’s prize, which will be
awarded during a ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden on May 24. The award
ceremony is part of a three-day event where hundreds of international
participants will participate in seminars and site visits at SSAB.
CTE is nominated for its MP 32.19 truck mounted skylift, a competitive
new product found nowhere else on the market. It has a maximum height of
32 meters with a 19-meter outreach and is mounted on a small, 7-ton
truck. It also features a unique, 180-degree rotational boom that
reaches hard to access working points – even around corners.
“The main objective was to reach more efficiency and versatility –
performance in terms of height and outreach, but on a compact, 7-ton
vehicle, which would be unique in the world. We also wanted to deliver
more structural stiffness to improve work safety conditions, while
reducing the overall weight,” explains Roberto Fenner, Director of
Technology at CTE.
To obtain the extreme capabilities and the lightness required by the
superstructure, high-strength steel was used extensively throughout the
frame and boom.
“Work becomes easy is the payoff that has always guided our brand.
Thanks to its versatility and ease of use, the CTE MP 32.19 perfectly
represents this spirit, and was only possible to achieve thanks to the
synergy between our design and the high-strength steels used,” says
Fenner.
The Swedish Steel Prize jury’s motivation for selecting CTE as a
finalist for the Swedish Steel Prize 2018 is:
CTE has developed a small truck-mounted sky-lift of extraordinary
versatility, height and reach. The compact boom system has a unique,
elevated slewing mechanism that provides the added capability of
maneuvering around corners, giving access to confined spaces where
traditional solutions fail. A carefully considered design as well as the
optimization of all boom cross-sections and use of high-strength steel
made this possible.
