CMC S18F Access Platform – Maximum Reach and Precision in a Compact Tracked Lift

Versatile and high-performing aerial platform for professional operators

The CMC S18F Access Platform combines exceptional vertical reach with advanced manoeuvrability, making it the ideal choice for professionals who need to operate safely and efficiently at height. Designed with a compact structure and advanced boom geometry, this CMC spider lift delivers both strength and precision. As a result, it performs exceptionally well in urban areas, industrial sites, and outdoor environments where stability and reach are equally important.

Exceptional Reach and Reliable Power

Offering a maximum working height of 17.78 m and an outreach of up to 11.15 m (with 80 kg load), the CMC S18F Access Platform ensures impressive elevation and side reach performance. Moreover, when loaded to 230 kg, it still delivers an outstanding 8.7 m reach, providing the flexibility needed for both maintenance and construction tasks. Thanks to its pantograph mechanism and two-stage telescopic boom with jib, operators benefit from smooth and precise control at all positions. Consequently, work can be completed faster and with improved accuracy.

Designed for Efficiency and Operator Comfort

Because the CMC S18F Access Platform is equipped with mechanically adjustable tracks, it maintains stability and balance on uneven terrain. In addition, its compact width of only 0.78 m enables access through narrow passages, standard doorways, and tight working zones. The ±90° jib movement and ±178° turret rotation (356° non-continuous) provide excellent manoeuvrability around structures. Therefore, operators can position the basket exactly where it’s needed without constant repositioning.

Robust Construction for All-Terrain Stability

Built to withstand intensive use, the CMC S18F Access Platform delivers durability and strength even on demanding surfaces. Its high-grip tracks, combined with a robust stabilisation area, allow safe operation on gradients up to 34° (67 %) and travel slopes of 18–32 %. Furthermore, with a total weight of 2,495 kg, it remains steady even when fully extended. This makes the S18F spider lift particularly suited for arboricultural work, façade maintenance, and construction in uneven or sloped areas.

Power Options and Environmental Flexibility

The S18F tracked platform supports multiple power configurations to suit varied working environments. Standard models use the Honda iGX 390 petrol engine (8.7 kW / 11.7 hp), while optional powertrains include Yanmar diesel, 110/230 V electric motor, and a 48 V full-lithium system with 160 Ah batteries for emission-free indoor work. Additionally, travel speeds range up to 1.64 km/h, ensuring smooth transport across worksites. As a result, operators can select the best version for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Built for Productivity and Long-Term Reliability

Every component of the CMC S18F Access Platform is designed for efficiency, safety, and longevity. Moreover, intuitive controls make operation simple and precise, while minimal maintenance requirements ensure reduced downtime. Because of its rugged structure and advanced engineering, this CMC aerial platform consistently delivers high productivity over years of professional use.
