BRONTO SKYLIFTS

Reaching New Heights with Innovation and Safety

Man lifts. Aerial work platforms. Boom lifts. Bucket trucks. Telescopic booms. Hydraulic platforms— No matter what you call them, they raise workers in many industries to extreme heights.

Finland-based Bronto Skylift has manufactured aerial trucks for the past 50 years. Their equipment features next-generation technology, forward-thinking engineering and quality craftsmanship that has broken world records and made Brontos some of the highest aerial platforms on the market.

Brontos have become a top-tier choice among various industries in 120 different countries, with models ranging from 50 feet up to 367 feet. Bronto has an aerial work platform (AWP) to suit your project needs. The company’s engineering and standards have earned them trust among firefighters and rescue teams who put their lives on the line every day to save the lives of others.

Not all AWPs are the Same

Bucket trucks, cherry pickers, cranes, scissor lifts, JLG’s and Genie’s have a limited reach that restricts the amount of work you can do and how safely you can do it. They also lack the innovative safety standards to give you complete peace of mind in any working situation.

Bronto Skylifts on the other hand, have been continuously developed and time-tested in the most rigorous conditions, across a wide variety of industries, making them durable enough to last for years and safe enough to handle your materials and team of workers.

Bronto’s long list of cutting-edge features makes them the safest and most reliable equipment on the market. See for yourself why so many others choose Bronto.
