The Bronto's are replacing the previous Hydraulic Platforms - Snorkel's. The WMFS have always favoured the Simon Snorkel SS263 - 26 metre, 3 booms. They were good and reliable, but the elbow (or knuckle) was always banging into obstructions, especially in narrow streets.
This is a re-chassied Snorkel from a 1977 model, they deduced that the booms have a far longer life span than then actual chassis. They ordered this as a one-off to replace an older model that rolled on its way to a run.
