“The RLX family of aerials is a proven product for Bronto Skylift outside of North America. As done with the F116RLP, we worked closely with Bronto engineering to develop the new F135RLX articulating platform for North American applications,” said Joe Hedges, E-ONE product manager. “A majority of the collaboration with Bronto centered around designing a versatile platform with a wide walk-through front gate.”
This marks the third E-ONE Bronto for Manchester over the last 20 years. And, it’s the second of two Bronto Skylift aerials recently delivered to E-ONE customers.
