Hinkel Equipment Rentals proudly announces a new addition to our fleet: a second 150′ Bronto Skylift.

The S 150 XDT (eXtreme Duty Telescopic) is revolutionary for its compact dimensions, light weight and generous platform capacity-up to 1500 pounds.  The Bronto B+3 Control system measures the load in the platform, the boom length and boom angles, and even the wind speed in order to maintain the optimal working envelope.  The work platform is equipped with hydraulic tool outlets, a material handling boom and 110V AC outlets, which eliminates the need for frequent trips back to the ground.

With a total transport weight of less than 45,000 pounds when used on a 6 x 6 chassis, the 150′ Bronto is legal for road travel through every state, 365 days per year.  Off-roading also benefits from the light weight, requiring less right-of-way preparation than older, heavier units.  An automatic transmission eases the driver’s workload, too.

Please contact Hinkel Equipment for more information about this machine, or check the spec sheet.

Hinkel Equipment will be in attendance at EUFMC 2010 from June 20-23 in Williamsburg, VA. The Electric Utilities Fleet Managers’ Conference is always one of the highlights of the year, and we are excited to reconnect with our customers.
