Safety Above All

HOLT Aerial believes in the safety of our employees, customers, and job space above all. As the industry leader in elevated work platforms at heights of 150 feet and above, it is important for us to also be the industry leader in safety. We promote, train, and continuously encourage safety first. We have pushed our company to strive for continuous improvement year after year.

HOLT Aerial maintains one of the highest safety records and lowest Experience Modification Rating (EMR) within the industry, and we work hard to ensure this culture continues to be at the forefront of all that we do.

The safety features of all of our Brontos have been optimized by continuous development and tested by customers in the toughest conditions.

Standard safety features include:

  • Rigid work platform permanently attached to the telescopic boom to allow for safe operation in windy conditions (even at speeds of over 25mph)
  • Two emergency descent systems. Bronto+ control system and easy overall maneuverability to enable smooth, accurate, and safe operation near structures and targets
  • Twin cylinders on the main boom to enhance sideways stability and safety, along with a shorter cylinder design to increase storage space on the decking
  • 15-minute setup time with just one operator and one spotter using the advanced outrigger and basket control panels
ANSI 92.2

ANSI/SAIA A92.2-2006 (R2014): U.S. standard for vehicle-mounted elevating and rotating work platforms, managed by ANSI to ensure industry safety and compliance.
