The Essential range of CELA truck-mounted aerial platforms: Essential 18T, 18TX, 20TX, 20P and 24P. Up to 24 m working height, 300 kg basket, B licence.

Simple to understand. Simple to control. Fast on every job. No frills — just up to 24 m of working height, a 300 kg basket and the build quality CELA is known for, on a 3.5-tonne truck anyone can drive.

**Everything you need. Nothing you don't.** Essential is a philosophy before it is a range: strip away the complexity, keep the performance, never compromise on quality.

- **Simple — One logic, zero manuals.** The same intuitive panel in the basket and on the ground, controls you understand at a glance, movements that respond exactly as you expect. Any operator masters an Essential in minutes — not days.
- **Fast — On site. Set up. Working.** Automatic jacking with one command, combined movements to reach the work in a single fluid path, and the home function to fold everything perfectly at the end. Less time setting up, more time getting the job done.
- **No frills, all quality — Essential is not basic.** Every component earns its place — and what stays is built to CELA standards: cataphoresis and powder-coated structures, safety valves on every cylinder, remote eDiagnostic. Engineered and manufactured in Italy.

## The range

Two telescopic and two articulated models. Every unit shares the same philosophy: essential specification, full-size performance, no wasted weight.

- [Cela Essential 18T](https://essentials.celaplatforms.com/ai/en/models/essential-18t.md) — Telescopic · 18 m working height · Up to 13 m outreach (18TX) · 300 kg basket capacity
- [Cela Essential 20TX](https://essentials.celaplatforms.com/ai/en/models/essential-20tx.md) — Telescopic · 20 m working height · 13.5 m outreach · 300 kg basket capacity
- [Cela Essential 20P](https://essentials.celaplatforms.com/ai/en/models/essential-20p.md) — Articulated · 20 m working height · 9 m outreach · 300 kg basket capacity
- [Cela Essential 24P](https://essentials.celaplatforms.com/ai/en/models/essential-24p.md) — Articulated · 24 m working height · 12.5 m outreach @ 200 kg · 300 kg basket capacity

## Compare the four models

The same four figures, side by side. Every model carries 300 kg in the basket and drives on a 3.5 t chassis.

| Model | Type | Working height | Floor height | Outreach | Basket load | Stabilisation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cela Essential 18T | Telescopic | 18 m | 16 m | 11–13 m | 300 kg | 18T: H+H · 18TX: HE+H |
| Cela Essential 20TX | Telescopic | 20 m | 18 m | 13.5 m | 300 kg | HE+H |
| Cela Essential 20P | Articulated | 20 m | 18 m | 9 m | 300 kg | H+H |
| Cela Essential 24P | Articulated | 24 m | 22 m | 12.5 m | 300 kg | H+H |

## The Essential advantage

The key points of the range, straight from the data sheet — and what each one means on the jobsite.

- **Ultra-simple handling** The whole machine is designed around the operator: intuitive, ergonomic controls with the same panel layout in the basket and on the ground, so there is only one logic to learn. Movements are smooth and predictable even for a first-time user. The result: minimal training time, fewer mistakes, and a machine any crew member can run with confidence from the first shift.
- **Jacking on ramps up to 11°** Real jobsites are rarely flat. The Essential range stabilises on gradients of up to 11° — sloping streets, ramps, driveways and uneven yards — with the electronic slope sensor supervising the set-up. Jobs that would otherwise require repositioning, ground plates or a different machine can simply go ahead.
- **300 kg maximum basket load** Every model in the range carries a full 300 kg in its 1.4 m aluminium basket: two operators, their tools and materials go up together in a single lift. No shuttling equipment up separately, no leaving a colleague on the ground — more productive minutes at height in every working day.
- **Combined movements** Lifting, telescoping and slewing can run at the same time, smoothly governed by compensated proportional valves. The basket travels to the work position along one fluid path instead of a sequence of single moves — saving minutes on every repositioning, which adds up to hours across a rental week.
- **Home function — automatic folding** One command and the boom retracts, folds and stows itself into transport position, perfectly, every time. At the end of a long shift there are no closing sequences to remember and no risk of a badly stowed boom on the road: turn the key, drive to the next job.
- **Automatic jacking** Self-levelling stabilisation launched with a single command — from the ground or even from the basket. The machine positions its outriggers and levels itself on the first attempt, while the centring indicator confirms it is ready to lift. Set-up time drops to moments, and every set-up is done right.
- **Cataphoresis + powder coating** Before painting, the whole structure is immersed in a cataphoresis bath — the same anti-corrosion treatment used by the car industry — then finished with powder coating. Two layers of protection that resist rain, salt and jobsite knocks for years, keeping the machine presentable and protecting its resale value at the end of the fleet cycle.
- **Wired ground control** A hard-wired ground station is permanently connected to the machine: nothing to charge, nothing to pair, no radio interference on crowded sites. Whatever happens, a fully dependable set of controls — including emergency recovery with the safety handpump — is always within reach at ground level.

The entry point to the Essential range: a truck under 7 metres long with a fast straight telescopic boom. Choose the 18T, with fixed outriggers inside the vehicle profile for the narrowest footprint, or the 18TX, with extendable outriggers — total, asymmetrical or in-shape — to push outreach to 13 m.

| Working height | Floor height | Outreach | Basket load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 m | 16 m | 11–13 m | 300 kg |

## Technical data

| Model | Cela Essential 18T |
|---|---|
| Maximum working height | 18.00 m |
| Maximum basket floor height | 16.00 m |
| Max working outreach — 18T | 11.00 m (100 kg) |

| Chassis | 3.5 t GVW — Iveco Daily 35S14 (B licence) — Also available on Mercedes Sprinter and Isuzu |
| Overall length | ~6,990 mm |
| Overall height | ~2,990 mm |

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

## Why it wins

- **300 kg in the basket** Full 300 kg basket capacity — no choosing between a second operator and the toolbox.
- **The shortest path to 18 metres** Under 7 m overall length, outriggers inside the vehicle profile and jacking on ramps up to 11°: it sets up in narrow streets, tight yards and on sloping ground.
- **Two machines in one price list** Same boom, two versions: the 18T with fixed outriggers for the tightest jobsites or the 18TX with extendable outriggers (total, asymmetrical or in-shape) for 13 m of outreach — configure the machine to the fleet, not the other way round.

## 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 ±75°** Turn the basket hydraulically to face the work squarely — full 150° 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.

## Why it wins

- **200 kg at full outreach** Still 200 kg in the basket at the full 9 m: two operators keep working even at maximum reach.
- **9.5 m of up-and-over clearance** The double pantograph articulation gives 9.50 m of height overhang: it climbs façades vertically and clears eaves, rooflines and obstacles that straight telescopic booms can't get past.
- **Narrow-street specialist** H+H outriggers inside the vehicle profile: set up in a single lane without closing the road — ideal for urban work.

## 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.

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.

| Working height | Floor height | Outreach @ 200 kg | Basket load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24 m | 22 m | 12.5 m | 300 kg |

## Technical data

| Model | Cela Essential 24P |
|---|---|
| Maximum working height | 24.00 m |
| Maximum basket floor height | 22.00 m |
| Maximum working outreach | 12.50 m (200 kg) |
| Height overhang (up-and-over) | 9.50 m |
| Maximum load in the basket | 300 kg |
| Turret rotation | 400° |
| Basket hydraulic rotation | ±90° |
| Aluminium basket | 1400 × 700 × 1100 mm |
| Stabilisation | H+H inside vehicle profile |
| Jacking capability | Ramps up to 11° |
| Chassis | 3.5 t GVW — Iveco Daily 35S14 (B licence) — Also available on Mercedes Sprinter and Isuzu |
| Overall length | ~7,640 mm |
| Overall height | ~2,990 mm |

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.
