The new machine from the Light and Compact series, CMC’s S20, was presented at the European trade shows during September.
September was packed with events for work-at-height professionals across Europe, and CMC was proud to launch its latest innovation, the CMC S20 platform, during the major trade shows:
• Platformers’ Days – Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre (Germany)
• Vertikal Days – Newark Showground (UK)
• GaLaBau – Nuremberg (Germany), and
• APF 2024 – Ragley Estate – Warwickshire (UK).
The events offered the perfect opportunity to showcase CMC’s S20, a machine that combines superior performance, versatility, and advanced safety, occupying a unique spot in the 20-metre platform segment.
S20
The CMC S20 stands out for its compact design without compromising on strength and functionality.
With a total weight of 2980kg and small dimensions, it is ideal for working in complex work environments, such as congested urban areas and construction sites with limited space. Also, because the S20 can run electrically, it can operate safely and quietly in indoor and enclosed sites. The platform is equipped with a 90°+90° rotating two-man basket with a quick-release system, enabling fast installation and removal, ensuring safety and convenience for two operators and their tools, with a maximum load capacity of 230kg.
Despite its compactness, CMC’s S20 offers exceptional performance thanks to its geometric design, and with a maximum working height of 19.9 metres and a maximum outreach of 10.4 metres at full load in the basket, it is ideal for a wide range of applications, including arbor and tree work, building, electrical installations, pruning, and it can comfortably and safely perform all these functions both indoors and outdoors. The platform is equipped with advanced automaticstabilisation technology that ensures safety and precision even on uneven terrain, allowing the outreach to be fully utilised regardless of the basket load.
New era
Alessandro Mastrogiacomo, CEO of CMC, stated: “A new era begins for tracked spider aerial platforms, since with the launch of the S20, CMC marks a significant evolution in the field of geometric double-pantograph platforms. The combination of advanced technology, compact design, and attention to safety makes the S20 an ideal choice for professionals looking for a versatile, reliable, and durable solution. Whether it’s maintenance, construction, or specialised interventions, the S20 is ready to meet the most demanding challenges, offering high-level performance without compromise.”
