The 104m Bronto Skylift S-104HLA

The new model, which was announced in May 2008, is based on Bronto’s HLA101 with a similar overall length of just under 17 metres. The extra height comes from marginally extending each of the five sections of the lower boom and redesigning the jib with a bend in it to compensate for the slightly longer stowed boom.
