“I contacted several hire agencies and Crystal Clear came back with the most competitive quote and even offered to fix the guttering at no extra cost. This was completed the next day and a full report with pictures was emailed to me. Contractors like Crystal Clear Access Hire are like finding a rare diamond.”
Move South Ltd
“Crystal Clear are a great company to work with. Our enquiry about hiring a MEWP for inspections was responded to efficiently. The model of MEWP was adjusted down to ensure suitability for the site and the driver provided access to the required areas.”
Building Services Company
“We have been using Crystal Clear Access for a good number of years now and to date have never had a problem with their services. They are always able to accommodate requests at short notice. I would highly recommend Crystal Clear for any access hires.”

“Crystal Clear helped us at short notice. Communication was great from start to finish and we were very pleased with the service provided. We wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.”
The CTE Traccess 170 provides a maximum 17m working height and 7.5m horizontal outreach, making it perfectly suited for mid-rise maintenance, installation and arboricultural tasks. Despite its compact footprint, the platform maintains full stability and control throughout its working range.
With a 200kg basket capacity available across the entire working area, operators can work confidently at height without compromising reach. The narrow 800mm width allows the machine to pass through standard doorways and gates, while its tracked undercarriage ensures low ground pressure and secure movement across uneven surfaces.
Provides safe and efficient access for building maintenance, electrical installations and tree surgery at mid-level elevations.
Allows operators to reach over obstacles and extend horizontally without constant repositioning of the base unit.
Maintains maximum platform load throughout the entire operating range, ensuring consistent and predictable performance.
Enables access through narrow doorways, garden gates and restricted pathways where larger machines cannot operate.
The CTE Traccess 170 incorporates modern boom architecture and intelligent control systems to deliver smooth operation, enhanced safety and long-term reliability.
Combining a two-section articulated boom with a telescopic main boom and jib, the system provides excellent up-and-over capability for accessing roofs, balconies and structural obstacles.
Wide rotation range allows flexible positioning and reduces the need for repositioning the tracks during operation.
Individually controlled, proportional movements from the basket ensure precise handling and smooth operation, even in confined working environments.
Hydraulically controlled levelling keeps the platform stable and secure throughout elevation changes.
Integrated load monitoring enhances safety by automatically managing working parameters when approaching load limits.
Advanced stabilisation system ensures safe set-up, even on uneven terrain, while monitoring ground pressure for added protection.
The Traccess 170 is equipped with an electro-hydraulic ground control system featuring an umbilical remote, allowing operators to manoeuvre and position the machine safely from ground level.
Our access team is happy to talk through your site before you book.
Weighing approximately 2,050kg, the CTE Traccess 170 offers excellent manoeuvrability without excessive ground loading. The tracked drive system features automatic braking when stationary and gradeability of approximately 31%, allowing safe movement across slopes and uneven ground.
The 1300mm x 700mm composite basket with aluminium guardrails provides comfortable working space, while the 230V AC socket in the platform allows convenient use of power tools at height.
Safety is central to the design of the CTE Traccess 170. The machine features hydraulic safety valves, emergency lowering systems, an emergency stop function and boom-outrigger interlocking for secure operation.
Two safety harness anchorage points are fitted within the basket, and audible alerts activate during travel and rotation movements. The electro-hydraulic remote control system allows ground-level manoeuvring when required, improving site safety and positioning accuracy.
