Boom Logistics strengthens fleet with four 70-metre Bronto aerial platforms

Boom Logistics, an Australian company specialised in delivering lifting solutions and services across the country, recently visited Bronto Skylift headquarters together with Bronto’s long time Australian partner GFS/Bronto Skylift AUSNZ, to inspect the latest additions to its fleet, four 70m Bronto S70XR aerial work platforms.

For Boom, these new units are a part of its fleet renewal and expansion project and a continuation of its relationship with Bronto that dates back more than three decades.

Boom Logistics’ history with Bronto Skylift goes back to 1991 when it bought its first Bronto. Over the years, Bronto platforms have formed the backbone of a large and diverse fleet which at one point exceeded over 50 Brontos.

Shane McLaughlin, national business manager – Travel Towers at Boom Logistics said, “These four units are the first of hopefully many. They will replace older machines and at the same time help us build the fleet back up in a planned, sustainable way.”

Market demand is a driving force behind Boom’s fleet expansion. While smaller access platforms remain essential for a range of applications, Boom’s focus is increasingly on large-scale project work. The Bronto S70XR offers the reach, stability and working envelope required for complex tasks in challenging environments and remote locations.

Shane said,    “On major projects 70m and above is where the work is. At this stage, the 70m is the most called-for machine in our market.”
