A 56m Bronto in the Nationwide fleet

This latest purchase follows recent orders for 20 new 3.5 tonne truck mounts with working heights from 21 to 26 metres, mostly from CTE. The new machines will take Nationwide’s ‘self-drive’ fleet of 3.5 tonne truck mounts to 220 units.

Head of sales Glenn Hall said “We are looking to secure a more balanced split of both articulated and straight stick trucks with this investment. By diversifying our range in this way, we can cater to a much larger proportion of the powered access requirements in the industry and make our clients that much happier in the process.”
