Chrysanthopoulos’ 90 metre S90HLA

Chief executive Konstantinos Chrysanthopoulos, said: “Our story with the first Bronto aerial platform began back in 2012 and with our new purchase of Bronto S90 HLA, it consolidates our position in the field of work at height in renewables and other industries as well. Bronto Skylift is the leader in the market of hydraulic platforms providing safe and efficient solutions and we are very delighted that we have found a partner we can rely on. And that is our aspiration, to continue on it.”

The company was established in 1950 by mountaineer Vassilios Th. Chrysanthopoulos as a one man band metalworks business/blacksmith. He purchased his first crane in 1979 to create the modern company specialising in lifting and transportation services. It is now managed by his sons who also work with a third generation of the family.
