At the International Interschutz 2026 Emergency Rescue Equipment Exhibition, taking place from June 1 to 6 in Hanover, a giant fire aerial platform is being showcased at the Bronto Skylift booth. Just imagine, the F104 HLA model has a working height of 104 m and a maximum outreach of 29.8 m. The basket's load capacity is 500 kg. The machine is equipped with a pump with a capacity of 3800 l/min. Full stabilization of the aerial platform occurs in just 40 seconds.
The aerial platform is built on a six-axle Volvo FMX chassis with a 12x4 wheel configuration, powered by a 540-horsepower engine. The overall length of the machine is 17 m, and its height is 4.2 m. The equipped weight is also impressive at 62 tons. It is worth noting that a similar giant operates in Kyiv, albeit slightly smaller — a 90-meter model on a Mercedes-Benz Actros 4150 (10x4) chassis.
