JV Price orders another Bronto

UK based JV Price has ordered a new 38 metre Bronto Skylift S38XDT mounted on a highly specified Volvo chassis. The new unit, which the family owned company considers will be “the ultimate window cleaning machine” will join the company’s existing Bronto S37XDT.

The company says it is also looking closely at the new Bronto S50XDTJ for a number of larger – higher contracts that it hopes to win.

The truck is a top of the line 18 tonne two axle Volvo FM with an over-sized but highly fuel efficient 11 litre 330hp engine, coupled to a two pedal Volvo I-shift automated gearbox and Volvo Engine brake, providing a stress free driving experience for the operator.

The cab package upgrades include automatic climate control, exterior sun visor, remote central locking, night heater and bluetooth audio with steering control switches and dashboard display. A reversing camera includes a pop up colour screen fitted in the dash which comes up automatically every time reverse gear is selected. It can also be used in conjunction with two other cameras if required.

JV Price entered the access market around five year ago adding to its original cleaning and property maintenance business and now runs a fleet of self-propelled booms, spider and scissor lifts in addition to its truck mounted lifts. While the company is headquartered in Watford, its access business is based in Hemel Hempstead north of London.
