Boom Logistics Adds Four 70 Metre Bronto S70XR Truck Mounted Lifts

Boom Logistics has taken delivery of four new 70 metre Bronto S70XR truck mounted lifts as part of its Asset Regeneration programme, responding to growing demand for high-reach platforms across Australia.

30-Second Takeaway Australian rental company Boom Logistics has added four new 70 metre Bronto S70XR truck mounted lifts to its fleet as part of its Asset Regeneration and expansion strategy. The move strengthens Boom’s presence in the high-reach access segment, where 70 metres and above is increasingly in demand for large-scale projects across Australia. Bronto S70XR Truck Mounted Lifts for Boom Logistics Australian crane and aerial lift rental specialist Boom Logistics has taken delivery of four new Bronto S70XR 70 metre truck mounted lifts. The machines form part of Boom’s ongoing Asset Regeneration programme, aimed at replacing older units while strategically expanding capacity in high-demand segments. The latest acquisition comes almost 25 years after Boom first purchased a Bronto unit in 1991, reinforcing a long-standing relationship with the Finnish manufacturer. Focus on the 70 Metre Access Segment Bronto S70XR 70 Metre Platform The Bronto S70XR offers a strong working envelope designed for complex, high-reach applications: Maximum outreach of 38 metres with 120kg in the platform Nearly 35 metres with 360kg Just over 30 metres with 700kg maximum platform capacity This versatility allows contractors to maintain both reach and meaningful platform capacity critical for maintenance, infrastructure, utilities and large-scale industrial projects. Shane McLaughlin, Boom Logistics’ Business Manager – Travel Towers, said: “These four units are the first of hopefully many. They will replace older machines and, at the same time, help us build the fleet back up in a planned, sustainable way. On major projects, 70 metres and above is where the work is they are the most called for machine in our market.” He added: “While smaller platforms remain essential for a range of applications, Boom’s focus is increasingly on large scale project work. The Bronto S70XR offers the reach, stability and working envelope required for complex tasks in challenging environments and remote locations.” Designed for Australia’s Demanding Conditions Operating across Australia presents unique logistical and environmental challenges, including remote project sites, extreme weather conditions and long mobilisation distances. McLaughlin noted: “Operating across Australia means equipment must perform reliably in demanding and remote conditions, where downtime can have a significant impact on project schedules and customer operations. For Boom, that is where Bronto stand above the rest.” An Australian delegation from Boom Logistics and Bronto’s distribution partner GFS / Bronto Skylift AUNZ visited the Bronto production facility in Finland to inspect and approve the machines prior to shipment. The visit underscored the importance of quality control and fleet standardisation within Boom’s structured renewal programme.
