The flagship of the Essential range. Twenty-four metres of working height and 12.5 m of outreach with 200 kg in the basket, from a truck that still weighs in at 3.5 tonnes and drives on a standard B licence — in a body barely 7.6 m long.

|---|---|---|---|
| 24 m | 22 m | 12.5 m | 300 kg |

Working height and outreach can vary by +/−5% depending on operating conditions. Technical data indicative — see the official data sheet.

## Why it wins

- **24 m on a B licence** The height that normally demands a 7.5 t chassis and a C-licence driver, delivered at 3.5 t — any operator in the fleet can drive it to site.
- **Reach and payload together** 12.5 m of outreach with 200 kg still in the basket, plus 9.5 m of up-and-over height overhang to clear rooflines and obstacles.
- **Flagship height, compact body** Barely 7.6 m long and under 3 m tall: a 24-metre machine that parks, travels and stabilises like a much smaller truck.

## Standard equipment

- **Aluminium basket** Light 1400 × 700 × 1100 mm aluminium basket: full working space and 300 kg capacity for two operators, with less dead weight on the boom.
- **Automatic folding (Home function)** One command returns the boom to its transport cradle automatically — perfect stowing at the end of every job, with no closing sequence to remember.
- **Automatic jacking from basket and ground** Self-levelling outrigger deployment started from either control station: the machine sets itself up correctly in moments, on the first attempt.
- **Cables and hoses inside telescope** All hydraulic hoses and electrical cables run protected inside the boom profile: nothing to snag on structures, far less wear, easier cleaning.
- **Turret rotation 400°** More than a full turn of slewing: reach any point around the truck in one movement, without repositioning the vehicle.
- **Hydraulic basket rotation ±90°** Turn the basket hydraulically to face the work squarely — full 180° of adjustment without moving the boom or the truck.
- **Ergonomic panels (ground and basket)** Identical, clearly laid-out control panels at both stations: one logic to learn for the whole crew, fewer errors under pressure.
- **Truck cabin anti-crash system** Electronic supervision stops boom movements before they can reach the truck cabin — protecting the vehicle and the repair budget.
- **Air or water connection in basket** A dedicated air/water line piped up the boom feeds pneumatic tools or washing lances directly at height.
- **Clearance lights** High-visibility clearance lighting keeps the vehicle outline clearly marked during road transfer and early-morning or night set-ups.
- **Electronic slope sensor** Constantly monitors chassis inclination during set-up and work, keeping stabilisation inside safe limits — including on ramps up to 11°.
- **220 Vac socket in basket** Mains power available at height for drills, grinders, lamps and chargers — no extension cord dangling down the boom.
- **12 Vdc socket in basket** Low-voltage supply in the basket for radios, chargers and accessories, straight from the machine.
- **Safety hydraulic handpump** Manual emergency pump: the basket can always be brought down safely, even with the engine stopped or complete power loss.
- **Safety valves flanged on all cylinders** Mounted directly on each cylinder, with no hose in between: the boom holds its position even in the event of a hydraulic line failure.
- **Automatic PTO release system** The power take-off disengages by itself when it should: the driveline is protected from oversight, every single day.
- **Centring indicator light** Tells the operator at a glance when the turret is centred — quick, certain checks before stowing or driving off.
- **Compensated proportional valves** Load-independent hydraulic control: movements stay smooth and precise whether the basket is empty or carrying its full 300 kg.
- **Cataphoresis + powder coating** The full structure is immersed in a cataphoresis anti-corrosion bath, then powder coated: automotive-grade protection that keeps its finish — and its resale value — for the whole fleet life.
- **Ipercela 4.0 GSM eDiagnostic** Remote diagnostics over GSM: CELA technicians can read the machine from the factory, anticipate service and cut downtime to a minimum.
- **Warning sound signal** An acoustic signal accompanies machine movements, keeping ground personnel aware around the working area.
