Powering Safe Access at Height in New York City
Operating in one of the most demanding urban environments in the world, Skyway Holdings delivers professional window cleaning and lift rental services across the New York City area to a wide range of customers from property owners to construction companies. Skyway is on a mission to provide safe, efficient and reliable access solutions at height and rely on Bronto aerial platforms to achieve that goal.
For operators like Oleg Bartkiv, Bronto aerial platforms are an essential part of everyday work. With experience handling large machinery, he values the combination of smoothness and reliability that Bronto offers.
“I’m familiar with big machines and truly enjoy working with Bronto aerials. I love heights and since our lift extends really high, it’s cool to work with!”

One of the standout features for Skyway is the exceptional reach of Bronto platforms. Depending on the model, working heights can extend up to 183 feet, enabling safe access to a large number of New York City’s tall buildings. Even in challenging conditions such as uneven or inclined surfaces, the units are designed to maintain stability.
“Even when you are working on an incline, the unit will automatically level itself.”

Working in a city that never sleeps
Petro Grubyak, the owner of Skyway Holdings, explains how Bronto aerial platforms have significantly improved their work process.
“Thanks to Bronto aerials, we can complete jobs much faster without causing major disruption to busy city traffic”

New York City presents unique logistical challenges, where pedestrian safety and traffic flow must be maintained at all times. Petro highlights how the design and functionality of aerial platforms allow efficient work even in the crowded streets of New York City while minimizing disruptions and providing a smooth experience for both clients and city residents.
“Even while work is ongoing, thousands of people walk safely nearby, cars can pass freely, and overall safety is maintained at a high level.”

One of the key advantages Petro points out is that the lifts require only minimal space for operation. Only one traffic lane and part of the sidewalk need to be closed during work, keeping pedestrian and vehicle flow smooth. Setting up the aerial platform takes about ten minutes, making the whole process even more efficient.
Trusted reliability and comfort
Long-term reliability is one of the key reasons Skyway Lift Rentals continues to place its trust in Bronto aerial platforms. In an industry where downtime is costly and safety is non-negotiable, the equipment must perform consistently through long shifts and challenging conditions. According to Oleg Pankevych, a highly experienced operator, Bronto platforms deliver exactly that.

Comfort is another important factor in maintaining productivity during long hours on the job. The spacious working cage offers ample room for tools and personnel, allowing workers to move freely and focus on the task at hand.

Beyond comfort and space, Bronto Skylifts are engineered for continuous operation. Skyway’s work often extends into nights, early mornings, and adverse weather conditions—situations where equipment reliability becomes critical.
“These machines are really great. They workday and night, rain or shine. You just need to fill the tank with diesel”
