Bronto Skylift to supply Norwegian fire brigades

Three municipal fire brigades in Norway have recently signed agreements with Bronto Skylift for future deliveries of new Bronto aerial rescue platforms.

The Bronto F42RLXER aerials will be delivered to the Levanger Brann og Redning and Stjørdal brann- og redningstjeneste fire brigades in the county of Trøndelag, and a new generation F32TLK aerial will be delivered to Follo Brannvesen to serve the municipalities of Enebakk, Frogn, Nesodden, Nordre Follo and Ås.

The Bronto F32TLK for Follo Brannvesen will be its second Bronto aerial platform, joining a Bronto F32RLH which was delivered in 2007. The new F32TLK is built to race against time in narrow city streets and in complex firefighting scenarios.

Both the Levanger and Stjørdal fire brigades were delivered a Bronto F27RLH aerial platform back in 2005 and are now adding the F42RLXERs to serve alongside their predecessors. The RLXER units feature a spacious rescue cage, a stable ladder, greater up-and-over capacity, exceptional horizontal outreach and various options to provide more versatility for rescue and firefighting.

All three units will be delivered by Bronto Skylift’s local distributor, Braco A/S, in 2022 and 2023.

Bronto Skylift hires two new Project Managers

Bronto Skylift has appointed Jarmo Kokkola and Juha Särkijärvi as Project Managers to oversee and develop the total order-to-delivery process.

Jarmo Kokkola is a long-time Brontonian with 12 years of experience from engineering, product management and sales within the company. Juha Särkijärvi on the other hand is a new member of the Bronto Family with extensive project management experience from the automation and energy industries in Europe and America.
