I LOVE TRUCKS AND AMAGING FREQENCY OF A BUZZING

[@acersalman8258]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤beautiful trucks God bless you and protect you

[@grandwaha]

There is one Bronto in our county 105 ft platform that can articulate over power lines to get where no other big trucks can reach. Such a cool idea everyone was amazed by it..... then it left a 3 man crew stuck in the air during a firehouse immobile. Flying a American flag during a 9/11 service again stuck in the air. Responding to a call the outrigger came out and struck a line of parked cars. Let's just say there will never be another one around here for 150 miles and they are stuck with it because the town will not buy them another ladder truck. 3 years later and I can't remember how much cash went into it... but it hasn't been out of service for about 3 years.

[@spartus]

[@LuisCastro-ie8kq]

You woulld think this truck would have more then one monitor and a couple of stand pipes on the bucket...

[@CDB8939]

Luis Castro It still has the same weight restrictions of any Bronto. just think how heavy that water would be. Max cage weight 500kg or 4 persons. If you use the monitor its 2 persons max. Max height 112metres, max outreach 32metres. max water output 3,800 litres per min (1000 US gall). The main use for this type of Bronto is not for Fire Applications but for the Access Industry, mainly for access to wind turbines etc

[@matthewnorman1303]

Seems like they would have to build a whole new station just to house it.

[@davidweston6653]

Destruction Darby l’ve never been to London but I do know they have many narrow and ancient streets. I would think the massive weight of that critter would be a major problem

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

it drove down the streets in German cities as well. Of course, a thing like this one wouldn't be able to enter each street, but it still can drive on most of them. In Germany we have a slightly smaller one in service, a 300'Aerial Platform at an industrial fire department, and many (both career and volunteer) fire departments operate heavy truck cranes as well

[@neildahlgaard-sigsworth3819]

[@CDB8939]

It wouldn't have got anywhere near that building due to the poor access and it's size & weight. London have now ordered 3 x 64 metre Turntable Ladders with a Rescue Lift that are just starting to arrive now.

what does it need chrome for? It doesn't ake any actualy task, it has no use at all. How much chrome to do find on European fire apparatus? Not much. Maybe a bit in the grill and that's it. Concerning the lights: this was a demo truck, so it was equipped only with 2 or 3 small lights; The average Tower Ladder here would have had 5 or 6 emergency lights back then, now they might have some few more

What is the height and width of the rig itself? Manhasset-Lakeville F.D. received a new ladder rig-ladder bucket in the 1980's and when attempted to deliver the unit found out that it was not able to fit on many streets because the total height was 13'8" & was not able to fit under the power lines. As such they were not seen at many parades & special routes had to be mapped out to respond to where needed.

twentyonekay responded "Their aren't many high-rise buildings in America, compared to other countries". What planet do you live on? Especially when all US cities are accounted for, America is only behind China, which includes Hong Kong, for the most high-rise buildings in the world. The USA does have very high standards but that is not the reason for not having this truck. It is Euro design and the US fire service is very political, traditional and inclusive. The only piece of Euro equipment that is making headway in the US is Rosenbauer. And that is only because they design it on a US chassis, cab and platform to appeal to and be very much like US fire trucks.

[@kasenmeyers9357]

William Brock And whats your point?

[@1701spacecadet]

The point is, America is only interested in innovative designs if they come up with them. They'd rather be insular than embrace ideas, even if they'd save lives. Just about every other country in the world now uses Brontos (or one of their imitators), while America insists on tower ladders or old-fashioned 2-section Snorkels.

[@willbrock01]

Exactly

[@johnnykATL]

William Brock Actually Pierce already has models with the Bronto Skylift, hopefully we see more of them in the US, I've heard they're great machines.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

+William Brock actually, not just Rosenbauer. First off, Rosenbauer America now also has an American fire truck with European body system, and besides Rosenbauer also Bronto Skylifts are used at some places in the US, and as chassis for smaller units, the Sprinter has become quite famous at some departments in the US.

[@limwiching2277]

No one order yet. China have develop and produce own 113m ladder also no one order yet. same too F101 HLA, too many limitation, too heavy truck, too difficult to turn corner due to long truck (F101 HLA is 17 meter long, 65 tons) require big space to operate, most bronto HLA order is in F101 HLA, F90 HLA, F78 HLA, china already have more than 20 unit F101 HLA. base on there experience, F90 HLA & F78 HLA much more easy to operate due to lighter, easy to turn (require 2 road line) . all HLA model can't operate if below ground is subway tunnel, parking, mall. if not wrong, bronto have new model F81, F94 and F104 HLA.

[@willbrock01]

Thank you very much for the update. I figured as such since the agency that would purchase it would be proclaiming it loud I am sure. Good to know though that the F101 HLA is being purchased, although information on agencies are hard to come by. I think one is also in the Moscow fire department. I did also see info on the F104 HLA.

[@DowntownDeuce2]

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. This thing is absolutely useless for municipal firefighting. It is unable to navigate city streets, has a 2 acre outrigger space requirement, and would likely only be usable on the alpha side of a building. That is wonderful, if you can plan on fires occurring on only certain sides of a building. Add to that what is likely a 2-minute peak to ground travel time, and we are left with the answer to a question that was never asked.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

The only slightly smaller 104 / 340' ones are indeed used by communal fire departments in Asia. In Germany the highest one in service is a 90 m / 300' one, but also specificly THIS 112 m / 367' was in Germany already: I was presented at the Interschutz fair trade and yes it indeed drove down on city streets. Also the 90 m / 300' Aerial, operated by an industrial FD, responds to places in the city, outside their industrial area. Obviously they can navigate on city streets. Unlike enormous American Tower Ladders, these ones have multiple steering axles and thus can manage relatively tight turns. It doesn't require an enormous footprint to set it up either ... a 2 lane residential road is sufficient already, so it would be able to access a building not only from the front side. Especially in industrial areas, for which these size of apparatus are primarily designed for, there are usually large enough set-up areas and driveways And please keep in mind it's not always about fighting a fire, but also about rescue calls of whcih some aren't time critial (however such an Aerial might still be faster that a high angle rescue team which has to make some kind of rope network)

Here in Portugal exists actually 13 aerial platforms, 7 (there was 8 but 1 it was retired due to an accident while responding to a call) are Bronto platforms, not a single one have registred major hydraulic problems or other malfunctions in service, they have big dimesions chassis but all can respond quickly in the first 20/30min. , my volunteer fire brigade have one aerial platform with Jacinto/ Bizochi bodywork, its mounted on a MAN TGA 6x4 chassis, we have it since 2005, 0 malfunctions ready, only periodic maintenance on time like the manufacterer on scheduall and it works just fine, "not practical" if you do not have experience in aerial platforms operations, from my point of view, someone that drives and operate one aerial platform, i can do more with an aerial platform (even on dificult access scenarios) that with a conventional ladder truck, maybe the problem is that in U.S you don't have many of this aplliance's and are a rellatively a "new concept" of aerial aparattus badly explored on all his vantage.
