On the chassis the new Scania L320 cab has a number of safety innovations, including being closer to the ground for easy entry, with substantially improved visibility, including its ‘City Safe Window’, which offers significant increases to the driver’s ability to detect and avoid pedestrians and cyclists.
The company said: “The difficulty of navigating traffic and smaller, narrower roads within cities, where a lot of construction work takes place, can prove frustrating for machine operators and drivers. Innovations such as those made by the S35EM will improve the smoothness of inner-city driving between sites that larger machines so often find arduous.”

This investment will ensure Nationwide Platforms’ clients have access to cutting-edge machinery that makes inner city work safer and more efficient. Bronto Skylift’s impressive track record chimes well with Nationwide Platforms’ own focus on customer satisfaction and safety, and we can’t wait to see the improvements these machines will bring to the industry.”
