E-ONE, Inc., a prominent player in the emergency vehicle industry, has recently inked an exclusive distribution deal with Bronto Skylift Oy Ab of Tampere, Finland ("Bronto"). This agreement solidifies E-ONE's role as the sole distributor for Bronto's renowned RLP series articulating aerial platforms across the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, Bronto parts and servicing for firefighting applications will now be managed exclusively through E-ONE’s extensive network of trusted dealers.

"Our long-standing relationship with Bronto dates back over two decades," remarked Jay Johnson, Vice President of Sales and Product Management at E-ONE. "Since introducing Bronto equipment in North America in 2000, we've seen firsthand how these exceptional aerial platforms empower fire departments. We're thrilled to continue this partnership and leverage our deep expertise alongside our robust dealer network to support our customers' needs."

Bronto's Managing Director, Esa Peltola, echoed this sentiment: "Both E-ONE and Bronto have earned a stellar reputation for delivering top-tier quality. By joining forces, we aim to build on that legacy and offer even greater value to our shared customer base."

Under this renewed agreement, E-ONE will offer the full Bronto RLP lineup, including the RLP 100, 114, 134, F118 HDT-ER, and the latest F116 RLP+. The "RLP+" model features cutting-edge technology, such as advanced color displays for enhanced operator control and an intelligent system that automatically adjusts the operational envelope based on jack placement.

These Bronto units will be mounted on E-ONE's Cyclone® II and Quest® chassis—two of the most rugged custom cab designs in the industry. These platforms come equipped with various body configurations tailored to match the compact yet agile nature of Bronto's articulating aerials.
