You may want to book in early at Performance Tower Hire if you need PTH281, a Cela DT 28, operating on your work site. It’s become a firm favourite amongst new and returning clients, and for good reason.
This truck-mounted EWP is one of the most versatile units in our fleet. It’s adaptable to a wide range of tasks, thanks to its impressive working height and cherry picker outreach. These features are complemented by a compact design and seamless maneuverability, making it adaptable to a variety of work situations.
Whether you’re a construction team or a crew of arborists, the height and mobility of the Cela DT 28 could be the right fit for your next job. Let’s see why.
Powerful Reach, Compact EWP
This is the defining feature that operators love about this elevated work platform: it can get to serious heights without compromising on reach. Check out these specifications:
- Working height: 28 metres
- Maximum horizontal outreach: 14 metres
- Up and Over capability: 16 metres
- Platform capacity: 350 kg
With a 350kg platform capacity, two operators can comfortably use their equipment at heights. This takes care of a large portion of jobs contractors will encounter.
Tight Access? No Problem
Job sites don’t always have room for large EWPs to access and manoeuvre around. Landscaped properties can limit truck positioning, urban infrastructure can be in tight spots and construction sites can have limited access points.
Mounted onto a compact Isuzu truck, the Cela DT 28 is one of the more adept EWPs at accessing tight areas. Here are its dimensions:
- Overall length: 7.6 m
- Overall width: 2.0 m
- Travelling height: 2.5 m
- Machine weight: 6.5 tonnes
It’s a tidy footprint that makes it easy to move between job sites regularly and operate in locations that larger trucks can’t access.
Stability Equals Safety
When you’re working at a height close to 30 metres above the ground, stability is essential. You want to have confidence in your EWP – a wobbly setup definitely isn’t going to give you that.
PTH281 uses a 3.8 m x 3.8 m outrigger spread to provide a stable operating base. It’s a manageable setup area that still allows the cherry picker to operate across a wide area. Narrow roadside locations, driveways and small worksites – all of these will be able to accommodate the outriggers.
Advanced Platform Controls
At Performance Tower Hire, we receive a lot of positive feedback from operators about the Cela DT 28’s platform controls. The positioning options and the controls let them work efficiently and safely while up in the air, while enjoying the following platform features:
- Platform size: 1.8 m x 0.8 m
- Platform rotation: 160 degrees
- Turntable rotation: 360 degrees
The rotating platform and full turntable movement allow for position adjustment without having to move the truck regularly. The precise positioning required for working at heights is part and parcel of this EWP.
Who Commonly Hires PTH281?
We get requests for PT281 from a wide range of industries across Brisbane and SEQ. It’s a suitable machine for residential and commercial environments, making it popular with:
- Tree loppers
- Building maintenance
- Electrical and lighting installation
- Signage work
- Roof and gutter repairs
- Property maintenance
- Construction work.
The Benefits of Truck-Mounted EWPs
We have a wide range of truck-mounted EWPs at Performance Tower Hire, covering working heights from 16 metres to 54 metres. Contractors will opt for one of them over a trailer-mounted or self-propelled boom lift for several reasons. These include:
- Faster setup and pack down
- Easy transport between sites
- Greater reach compared to many trailer units
- Reduced need for additional transport equipment
If you have to get to several jobs in a single day, having the right truck-mounted EWP on your side will be the seamless way to take care of them all.
Cela DT 28: Italian Engineering
The Italians sure know how to make a good EWP boom system, and the Cela DT 28 is no exception. Cela is known for producing high-performance truck-mounted platforms manufactured in Italy and used worldwide. That pedigree shines through in this EWP.
It’s crafted with experience and sensible logic so the overall weight is manageable, and it can be mounted on medium-duty trucks without sacrificing performance. That’s how we get a versatile machine that can be used in a multitude of different site conditions, and that’s why the Performance Tower Hire phone runs hot with booking requests for PTH281.
