Bronto to sell direct

Bronto Skylift the leading producer of large truck mounted aerial lifts has concluded an agreement to take on Alan Cowper, previously with Blue Line Access, Bronto’s UK dealer that called in the administrators earlier this week.

Cowper has been involved in the truck mounted aerial lift market since 1989 when he joined EPL, one of the UK’s leading truck mounted rental companies.

In his new role which is likely to officially commence once he has wrapped up his affairs with Blue Line in order to ensure a smooth transition, he will be responsible for overseeing both technical and sales support for Bronto in the UK and Ireland. He will initially be able to call on Bronto staff from the factory in Finland and elsewhere as required.

Jan Denks of Bronto said that while the situation with Blue Line was very unfortunate, it has happened and it does open up new opportunities for Bronto in the UK.


Sales and support for Bronto's range of firefighting platforms and appliances handled by Angloco is not at all effected by these changes. Co-operation with Ray Foster concerning maintenance and repair of the firefighting lifts will also continue as normal.
