CPL E-Tech KL26Smart Platform Rental has expanded its fleet of diesel van-mounted platforms by introducing six new CPL KL21bs. These units, mounted on a 3-tonne Renault Traffic chassis, feature a design without outriggers. This innovation reduces their footprint, making them highly effective in narrow spaces, and decreases their weight, thereby increasing their payload capacity for tools and equipment. The KL21b offers a maximum working height of 11.2 metres and a reach of up to 6 metres, enhancing its versatility and performance.
Smart Platforms’ Managing Director Jo Rogers said:
“Smart platforms have always been and will remain committed to continuous improvement in all areas of our business, these two new van mount models are just the latest additions to our self-drive rental fleet, in line with that core principle. We work closely with our customers to provide a variety of access solutions to the everyday challenges they face; we are very excited about what the future holds for these two new product lines.”

Paul Murphy, CEO of CPL said: “The KL21b was developed alongside Smart Platforms. They needed to offer a solution that fitted within the customer budget but didn’t sacrificed efficiency. I would like to say thank you to Smart Platforms for their trust. In order to develop the model, they ordered 6 units making it a valuable addition to our range of platforms.”
