Cela Essential 20TX

Why it wins

• 13.5 m of outreach

  The HE+H outriggers unlock exceptional lateral reach: work over gardens, canopies and parked vehicles instead of driving around them.

• 20 m and 300 kg, still on a B licence

  Full 20 m working height with a 300 kg basket on a 3.5 t chassis — every operator in the fleet can drive it to site.

• Fast telescopic cycle

  Straight telescopic boom with 400° rotation: quick to deploy, quick to reposition, more jobs closed per shift.

Standard equipment

Everything below is standard equipment on the Cela Essential 20TX — included on every unit, not an options list.

• 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.
