CTE produced its first machine, a 16 metre Z 166D back in 1993, with the Zed 20.2’s predecessor – the Z 20, coming along in 1996. The name change to ZED came in 2009 and the company now has a range of 15 models from 14 to 32 metres.

The 10,000th unit is also one of the first to feature the new octagonal design, made with a new material, Docol 1200 M high strength steel.
