World premiere at Bauma of Bronto’s first fully 56m electric truck mounted aerial platform

Bronto Skylift, a leading global supplier of large truck mounted aerial platforms, is presenting an all-electric truck mounted aerial platform with a maximum working height of 56m at Bauma, which makes it the highest fully electric aerial platform in the market. The full integration of the aerial platform and the electric truck is designed to secure the most seamless user experience.

Rohr AG, a leading Swiss provider of professional cleaning services, Designwerk Technologies AG, a Volvo Group subsidiary and Swiss pioneer in electromobility, and Finnish manufacturer Bronto Skylift have together developed an aerial work platform based on a state-of-the-art, fully electric truck chassis. This innovative solution combines the reliability and performance of Bronto aerial work platforms with the advantages of an emission-free and quiet drive.

“We are pleased to be able to offer our customers an environmentally friendly alternative without compromising on performance,” says Dominik Keller, global access segment director at Bronto Skylift. “This is an important step towards a more sustainable future for the industry. Rohr AG’s initiative was key in creating this product and we thank Designwerk for successful collaboration.

Patrick Dörge, chief operating officer of Rohr AG, add, “We were able to contribute our many years of expertise in window and façade cleaning directly to the development. We will put the vehicle into operation after the trade fair and are proud that we will be the first company in the world to use a fully electric truck mounted aerial platform with these dimensions.”

In Switzerland, more and more large cities are demanding low-CO2 behaviour from their service providers. “In the future, our customers will demand electric vehicles across the board, a trend that we have been observing for several years. With this project, we are showing that we are taking a pioneering role in low-emission solutions,” adds Patrick.

The world premiere of this vehicle will take place in April 2025 at the Bronto Skylift stand on the open-air grounds of Bauma in Munich. Rohr AG intends to use the electric crane truck primarily for demanding façade and window cleaning work in urban areas, thereby significantly reducing its ecological footprint.
