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.
that's crazy! Why don't we have any of these in Australia? Our skyscrapers are much taller than 112m so it makes sense to at least have one in each major city...
they are not primarily for skyscrapers; Of course they are quite handy when you have an incident there, but skyscrapers usually have safety staircases, fire and rescue lifts etc; Most of these Aerials are used in the industrial fire-fighting sector
this is 112 METERS. thats about 367 FEET. the tallest bucket on a firetruck ive ever heard of in the US is the 116' pierce/eone bronto. the tallest actual ladder truck in the US ive ever heard of is 110' but there might be one bigger:)
Rosenbauer delivered a 180' platform to Marcus Hook Industrial Complex, PA recently. The aerial device was built in Italy by Rosenbauer Rovereto, their joint venture with Italian lift manufacturer CTE SpA. Back in 1996, a 174' Bronto was delivered to South Padre Island, TX on a Pierce chassis. Now it serves Jay, Vermont. Calgary, AB has a 164' Bronto, not sure of the exact year, late 90s / early 2000s.
@@mikegaskin5542 You gotta give it to those Europeans and their clever technology. Just when we here in the US say check out what we made, the Europeans will say, oh yeah, hold my beer LOL
Yes its 112 mts (360ft), 104ft (33 mts) is the normal ladder truck here in Europe, platforms you can find almost in every city fire dept. here with 42mts (137ft) and even 45mts (147ft).
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
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
Destruction Darby they had enough problems with the eight wheel Volvos they bought, especially getting them from one side of the Thames to the other due to various weight restrictions on the bridges.
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.
Not only Major crane outrigger pads but the operators need ground penetrating radar to ascertain the subsurface quality before committing to pad placements.
it was just a demo truck for the Interschutz fire and rescue trade fair in Germany, and it drove on German roads a bit, but as far as I know it was soldto Qatar and is in service at the fire department there
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.
+EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Unless it has rear wheel steering.... that thing is pointless in a big city.... It's hard enough getting a 46ft long arielscope through our city.....
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.
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.
+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.
The biggest problem with these fire-fighting appliances is the low mobility in transit and old parts of cities. NYC founded in 1624, Sao Paulo 1554, and the European ones are millenarian. There are many narrow parts
Montreal,Toronto & many others use Brontos, they work well. & if your ass with burning & your lungs filling with smoke & toxic gagging fumes, you'd probably change your mind real quick!
Does any one know of a fire department that has purchased the F 112 HLA and has it in regular use or even as a specialty unit in the world? Great prototype but would like to see it in action.
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.
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. Thanks again.
Hello Jesus. The price varies a lot based on the chassis and different equipment chosen. With any quotation requests you can contact sales@brontoskylift.com.
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

I see an awful lot of people commenting on this truck and how high it actually reaches compared to the pierce e-ones some U.S. fire departments have. Well, my question for everyone remains the same. Who wants to be that high off the ground without being in an aircraft?!!!!
Get in? Hells no! Give me a parachute at that hight, I'd take my chances that way or I'd simply bail the hell out. Once I saw that wind meter I knew that is not very stable in high winds. I have see FDNY defeated by high winds. No not for my arse!
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.
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)

Firefighting has become like a spectator sport now a days where the men and woman of the fire service get distracted with all the spectating that they fall behind on there skills and rest to do there Job
BSL is noting more than a hydraulic nightmare. These machines are not rapid deploy, not rapid response, and the word rapid has never been associated with a BSL. They are not practical and have had issues with the hydraulic pivot points and have basically fallen in half as well as getting stuck in the extended position. Don't know who purchases these trucks.
I know numerous departments operating Brontos, everything from a 100' to 300' range and most departments are satisfied with it as much as other departments are satisfied with their standard Tower Ladders. Both have their pros and cons, both will have problems sooner or later
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.
For about 5 years , doing everything from cleaning to film work , I operated and drove a variety of Bronto's up to 72 metres , a good proportion of the time in and around London . from handbrake applied to being elevated at full stick in less than 15 minutes if there was space to set up. .....Fabulous Machines ......
@@MrRescue100 With the large amount of high rise buildings that exist in the U.S. you would need thousands of these arial ladder trucks and in most cases they are not practical to use. There are many 30 to 45 meter arial ladder trucks throughout the majority of small towns and big cities in the US. My small town (population of 5,000 people) only has single family houses and our fire department has three 30 meter arial ladders and they are rarely used.
Unethical. Price isn't the issue as average fire-apparatus vehicles cost 500,000USD + on average . Their aren't many high-rise buildings in America, compared to other countries, and our safety standards in America are pretty strict, again, compared to other countries. You'd be able to make it safely down to the ground most of the time if a fire occurs on a high-rise. But if your talking about something like 9/11 again, even this wouldn't be able solve the issue of saving people as this is 112.
twentyonekay LOL NOT MANY HIGH RISES IN USA??? U ON DRUGS??? YOU EVER HERE OF CITIES LIKE NEW JERSY?? NEW YORK? LOS ANGELES?? SAN DIEGO? DALLAS? HOUSTON? MIAMI? SAN JOSE?? BUFFALO? DETROIT? CHICAGO? TAMPA BAY? AND SOOOOO MUCH MORE , ALL HAVE MAJOR HIGH SKY SCRAPERS

What is the spread of the out riggers probably won't fit on some city streets like nyc
it would ... a 2 lane wide residential street it wide enough for a 300' Aerial, then the streets in NYC are for sure wide enough for a 367' Aerial

oh hell no
BSL is noting more than a hydraulic nightmare. These machines are not rapid deploy, not rapid response, and the word rapid has never been associated with a BSL. They are not practical and have had issues with the hydraulic pivot points and have basically fallen in half as well as getting stuck in the extended position. Don't know who purchases these trucks.
I know numerous departments operating Brontos, everything from a 100' to 300' range and most departments are satisfied with it as much as other departments are satisfied with their standard Tower Ladders. Both have their pros and cons, both will have problems sooner or later
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.
For about 5 years , doing everything from cleaning to film work , I operated and drove a variety of Bronto's up to 72 metres , a good proportion of the time in and around London . from handbrake applied to being elevated at full stick in less than 15 minutes if there was space to set up. .....Fabulous Machines ......
@@MrRescue100 With the large amount of high rise buildings that exist in the U.S. you would need thousands of these arial ladder trucks and in most cases they are not practical to use. There are many 30 to 45 meter arial ladder trucks throughout the majority of small towns and big cities in the US. My small town (population of 5,000 people) only has single family houses and our fire department has three 30 meter arial ladders and they are rarely used.
Unethical. Price isn't the issue as average fire-apparatus vehicles cost 500,000USD + on average . Their aren't many high-rise buildings in America, compared to other countries, and our safety standards in America are pretty strict, again, compared to other countries. You'd be able to make it safely down to the ground most of the time if a fire occurs on a high-rise. But if your talking about something like 9/11 again, even this wouldn't be able solve the issue of saving people as this is 112.
twentyonekay LOL NOT MANY HIGH RISES IN USA??? U ON DRUGS??? YOU EVER HERE OF CITIES LIKE NEW JERSY?? NEW YORK? LOS ANGELES?? SAN DIEGO? DALLAS? HOUSTON? MIAMI? SAN JOSE?? BUFFALO? DETROIT? CHICAGO? TAMPA BAY? AND SOOOOO MUCH MORE , ALL HAVE MAJOR HIGH SKY SCRAPERS
They are nothing more than expensive toys the taxpaying public are kept in fear thus unlimited budgets to waste on such things!
