Unmatched Versatility: The Bronto F135RLX

In the world of fire apparatus, there’s no denying that a Bronto Skylift’s aerial is different. The Bronto F135RLX articulated aerial platform provides safety and unmatched versatility for all firefighting and rescue operations. It can do what a traditional aerial platform can do, as well as a straight stick with the advantage of an articulating boom giving it up and over reach and the ability to operate below grade as well.

“It gives you a larger platform, while still giving you all the same aspects of a straight stick, as far as water supply and it also gives you the ability to go up and over things with the water monitor on it. And compared to a regular platform, the Bronto’s platform rotates and pivots, so even if you are not perfectly perpendicular to the building, you can rotate it and have good access.”
