Record number of lightweight aerials for Europe
28 January, 2026
Bronto Skylift closed 2025 as a record-breaking year in deliveries of super lightweight aerial platforms that has set a new industry benchmark for safety and performance.
Bronto Skylift’s F32TLK aerial rescue platform with 16-ton gross vehicle weight is the only aerial platform in the market that offers the versatility of a full-blooded aerial platform, but also fulfils one of the most rigorous standards, the German DIN 14701-1 for high-rise aerial appliances for firefighting and rescue services.
“We are thrilled the product has been so well adopted by the customer base. Our aim was to re-design the already familiar F32TLK product to be even better for Central European and especially the German market and it looks like we have definitely succeeded.”
Stefano Leporale, Fire & Rescue Director, Bronto Skylift
Bronto Skylift’s aerial platforms are trusted for their reliability, ease of use and versatility supporting a wide range of rescue and firefighting operations. This achievement highlights the company’s leadership in providing solutions that exceed regulatory requirements and customer expectations.
The Bronto F32TLK aerial rescue platform offers an excellent combination of flexibility and technical performance. The rescue cage is spacious, stable and can carry high loads up to 500 kg. With the unbeatable lateral outreach of 20,5 m with 500kg cage load, the TLK is ideal for challenging rescue missions.
“We use the TLK not only for firefighting operations, but also for rescue missions such as carrying aid or recovering people in wheelchairs from high floors of apartment buldings. Thanks to the 8-metre cage boom, we can even rescue people from the water.”
Eric Fisch, Firefighter, Karlshagen Volunteer Fire Brigade
With a maximum working height of 32 metres and below ground level reach of 5.5 metres, the F32TLK can also be used effectively in difficult environments such as harbours or rough terrain. With unmatched stability and proven performance across Europe, Bronto Skylift continues to set the pace for the industry.
