The new lifts have been acquired and specified to serve the power, telecommunications infrastructure and mining industries. The latest delivery brings the Summit fleet to six Bronto S70XDT units, one 61 metre Bronto S61XDT, along with a 60 metre Barin AP60/30 unit. All of which are equipped with power to the cage and high pressure water washing capabilities.
