Skyway Lift Rentals Buys a 183-Foot Bronto Aerial Platform
Skyway Lift Rentals, a company specialized in providing truck-mounted aerial lift rentals across the United States and Canada, recently bought a 183-foot Bronto S183XR aerial platform. The new aerial will be delivered at the end of 2022 and it will be the third Bronto S183XR unit in Skyway’s fleet, allowing it to keep up with the growth of its business and customer demands.
The XR range of aerial platforms was designed by operators for the operators. The S183XR reaches higher and further with reduced operational costs and increased productivity without compromising safety. The unit has a strong ratio of vertical reach to side reach and maneuverability in big city streets because of its compact build. It also includes a fifth-generation Bronto+ control system that provides prices and stable movements, has a resistive touch screen and is simple and smooth to operate.
“We’ve been really pleased with the stability and reliability of our Bronto units,” said Andrew Yaremiy, CEO of Skyway Lift Rentals. “The Bronto 5+ control system has impressed us with its advanced technological features and ease of use, and we look forward to adding more Brontos to our fleet in the future as business expands.”
Skyway’s new S183XR aerial platform will be mounted on a Mack 6×4 chassis and equipped with various operation enhancing options, such as an extendable working cage with 1300-pound safe working load and ±220° cage slewing, a water hose between the turntable and the cage, a complete turntable control station and 360° continuous rotation of the turntable.
The operators of the unit will receive professional training from a certified Bronto Skylift instructor upon the delivery of the unit to strengthen their knowledge of Bronto Skylift aerial platforms and enhance operational performance.
