If you run a heavy equipment rental company, you can extend your service offering and grow your profits by adding truck-mounted aerial work platforms to your range of rental options. Diversifying your fleet by offering lifting equipment across multiple height classes and applications will help you offer an unbeatable service to your customers across industries.
And with their flexible capabilities and reputation for safety, speed and stability, aerial platforms can help you stand above your competition.
Industry solutions
Why choose an aerial platform?
Cranes are ideal for the heaviest loads, but aerial work platforms allow people, tools and even small material loads to be lifted safely without a dual rating. They’re designed for height, with a wide operating envelope and excellent vertical and horizontal reach.
And they’ll help your customers get to work fast. Truck-mounted aerial platforms can drive right up on site and get set up in just a few minutes. They come equipped with variable outreach jacking – each outrigger can be extended independently – helping you get set up in otherwise inaccessible or hard-to-reach areas.
With an aerial work platform in your rental fleet, you’ll be providing a reliable, safe and more comprehensive service to your customers. And you’re probably already set to get started. With your existing operators, technicians, your industry contacts, and your project expertise, you can hit the ground running in aerial platform rental – and MEWP operators can be trained on aerial platforms in no time.

Wind
Aerial platforms are one of the safest and most efficient ways to carry out wind turbine maintenance and inspections. A truck-mounted aerial can be driven directly onto any onshore site and set up in minutes to provide a safe, stable working platform for your crew at up to 341 ft. They’re a convenient and cost-efficient companion in wind turbine projects, where your customers need all the height they can get.
Telecoms
Bronto aerial platforms offer great versatility for telecommunications projects like 5G antenna installations. The units are quick and easy to set up, and the robust cage load – up to 700 kg – can fit all the equipment and operators needed to finish the job. The working cage can also be equipped with a 400 kg winch, so your crew can lift antennas themselves without additional cranes.
Utilities
Insulated Bronto aerial platforms are a superior solution for overhead power line work compared to cranes or bucket trucks. They can be driven directly to remote locations or over rough terrain without trailers or escorts. Once in the air, the excellent horizontal outreach, articulating boom and rotating cage work together to help operators access hard-to-reach areas or adjust positions while keeping a safe distance from energized lines. The high working load and integrated waterline to the cage allows for bare-handed maintenance of live lines and insulator washing.
Cleaning and maintenance
Aerial platforms excel at cleaning and maintenance operations. They can be driven directly on site, get set up, and get the job done faster than other methods like rope access or glass washing lifts, making them a cost-efficient addition to your equipment arsenal. In the air, their large working envelope means operators can make adjustments while working, allowing them to reach multiple targets from a single setup and reducing the time it takes to navigate large surface areas. Bronto aerial platforms come equipped with electricity and an integrated 200 bar water line in the cage, so using electric tools and washing equipment during operation is easy.
Construction and access
Aerial platforms are a safe and cost-efficient solution for construction sites where reach and mobility are critical. Bronto aerials come with an automatic leveling feature and variable jacking capabilities that make them a great option for sites in urban areas or uneven terrain. They’re built with precise boom controls that give operators a sense of smoothness and stability while carrying out their work. The spacious working cage offers operators a safe and comfortable environment while reaching out to any target.
Petrochemical and refining
Aerial platforms are built for the demanding conditions of petrochemical and refinery sites, where precision and safety is key. Compact chassis configurations and intuitive boom controls allow operators navigate around piping, towers and other dense infrastructure without the need for extensive ground preparation. With a spacious and high capacity working cage, crews can perform inspection and maintenance tasks efficiently and eliminate the need for scaffolding or multiple pieces of equipment.
