Those Mercs look terrible. I never would have though a truck could look like it has downs syndrome, but alas.

Does anyone know the specs of these "Skyjets" as in the max height of the boom. Our brigade had an interesting job last week that they considered calling for some aerial support, but decided that neither the Bronto or Skyjet would reach.

A Bronto can reach 37 metres, where a skyjet can reach around 15 metres when fully extended.
The Bronto(s) are only located at the Adelaide station.
