Articulating Lifts

Construction. Utilities. Refineries. Aerospace. Telecommunications. Regardless of your industry, if your team needs to be lifted to extreme heights during your workday, you need safe, reliable equipment that will get the job done and protect your workers. Countless industries choose HOLT Aerial, a global market leader in Bronto Skylift aerial work platform (AWP) sales and rentals, to help them do just that.

HOLT Aerial features Bronto Skylift articulating lifts, which is one of the safest lines of aerial work platforms on the market today. With cutting-edge engineering and innovative safety standards, Bronto Skylifts take the AWP to a whole new level. If you’re in the market to rent or buy a superior quality work platform for your worksite, you’ve come to the right place.

Why Choose a Bronto Skylift Articulating Man Lift from Kardie?

The Bronto Skylift can take your team to extraordinary heights, without sacrificing safety. Our Bronto Skylifts are some of the tallest articulating boom lift models on the market today. They can take on any terrain, in even the most difficult conditions, lifting workers to difficult-to-reach locations for tough projects like utility turnarounds and dense construction projects.

When you rent from HOLT Aerial, however, you don’t just get access to Bronto’s outstanding products. You’ll also get training and support from a team of experts who know their articulating boom lifts through and through. We offer in-depth safety and operation training and can even provide on-site operators along with all the great features of the Bronto Skylift, including:

  • Higher reach than other AWPs. Most AWPs max out at 125-165  feet. Bronto Skylift models, however, extend up to 295 feet.

  • Ultra-fast setup. Scaffolding and crane and man baskets can take days or months to set up. In comparison, Bronto AWPs can be up and running in just 15 minutes
  • Horizontal reach. No more moving your truck to change positions—Bronto Skylift AWPs have a 360-degree continuous, models that can reach 131 feet horizontally, and some that have 50 feet of below-ground reach.
  • Tool support. Eliminate dangerous hanging cords and hoses. All non-insulated Bronto Skylifts can power electric tools, supply water, and pneumatic tools, giving you all the power you need in one convenient location at working height in the basket. 
  • Unrivaled efficiency. With many models boasting a six-axle all-terrain all-drive, Bronto Skylifts can be driven on any terrain, on- or off-road. Plus, thanks to their auto-leveling outriggers, they remain stable on uneven surfaces and won’t tip over.

  • Failproof reliability. Bronto Skylifts were built to last for decades. Literally. HOLT Aerial techs also perform routine inspections and maintenance to ensure superior performance and maximize “uptime”. If an issue ever arises, just call the 24/7 parts and service hotline, and HOLT Aerial can immediately remote into the machine to find out what specific repairs are needed.

Safety Standards Beyond Compare

When you have workers high up in the air, keeping your team safe is a top priority—so the model of your articulating lift rental or purchase matters. Kardie’s fleet of Bronto Skylifts have passed the strictest standards of safety and efficiency, making them the best pieces of equipment the industry has to offer.

  • Designed to lift people—not materials. Bronto Skylifts are specifically engineered to lift you and your team, which makes them the safest articulating platform money can buy. With smooth boom movements and automatic leveling, you won’t ever experience a shaky ride to the ground.
  • Operable in heavy winds. Bronto baskets can withstand winds up to 31 mph, so you’ll be safe and avoid unnecessary downtime. 
  • Emergency preparedness. Bronto Skylifts feature dual emergency descent systems and multiple backup operating systems. A voice-activated basket-to-ground intercom system makes for easy communication with ground personnel in the event of an emergency.
  • A smooth ride every time. With stabilizing outriggers, smooth boom movements, and automatic leveling, you can count on a safe and easy lift each time you raise to heights.
