L&N Platforms continues fleet renewal with a new 46m Bronto

L&N Platforms, an UK, powered access equipment provider offering a range of access services with a main focus on window cleaning, recently visited Bronto  to check up on its latest aerial investment, a new Bronto S46XDT aerial platform. This new Bronto is part of L&N’s ongoing fleet renewal process and owners Lee Roebuck and Nicky Francis are already eyeing their next aerial platform, a 38m Bronto S38XDT scheduled to be delivered early 2026.

L&N visited Bronto headquarters in February 2025 to inspect the first new Bronto platform in its fleet renewal cycle. That visit marked the beginning of a strategic renewal plan designed to introduce newer, more capable units into its operations. According to Lee, the company is on a steady course and ready for potential growth as market opportunities emerge. He said, “This new 46m unit will be the fifth Bronto in our fleet and we’re excited to be able to upgrade our older Brontos for new ones”

Designed for dynamic operations in all circumstances, the Bronto S46XDT will be used primarily for L&N’s window-cleaning operations. With its reach, stability and compact design, the platform offers valuable flexibility and versatility for navigating dense urban environments.

Ian James, sales manager at Bronto Skylift said,  “This particular 18t  chassis configuration works very well for L&N and it’s ideal for the work they do in London”

For L&N Platforms, one of the biggest drivers behind continuing to invest in Bronto aerial platforms is the confidence it has  in the reliability of the unit and the support behind them. Since its last visit, Roebuck reports that its aerial operations have run seamlessly with no unexpected interruptions or complications.

“We’ve had no issues whatsoever and the service has always been spot on,” said Lee. This dependable performance reinforces L&N’s long-term partnership with Bronto Skylift and its commitment to keeping the fleet modern and ready for the future.
