History of bucket trucks

Bucket trucks were designed as a tool for easy fruit picking in orchards (hence the name cherry picker). The technology grew rapidly and the demand for, and adaptations to, bucket trucks grew accordingly. People realized that these amazing utility trucks could be used for much more than just picking fruit. They can also be used to hang signs or decorations. Electricity and telephone wiring exploded in the early to mid-20th century. During that time, they were the ones who revolutionized business. They made workers more efficient and helped linemen accomplish more in a day. Without them, a week’s job could last 20 days or more. They set the standard for efficiency.

Utility Trucks in the World Today

Modernized trucks are used for thousands of jobs and even for recreation. Most jobs today are line jobs (telecom, cable, and electrical industries), forestry jobs like tree trimming, painting, repairing or installing signs and lights, window washing, production, and photography, and much more. . The increase in demand has forced manufacturers to adapt trucks to the needs of each industry. Now the industry has forestry trucks that have cab protectors, line trucks with isolated arms, articulated arms or telescopic arms. Adaptive trucks really do help businesses and workers be as safe and efficient as possible.

To buy

Bucket trucks are considered below the market threshold. What that means is that it’s hard to find a quality one to buy, especially if it’s used. Used bucket truck dealers are a dime a dozen. If you are looking for quality equipment, I suggest you rent or buy your truck from a known dealer. Find a dealer that has been in the industry for a long time. Make sure they specialize in renovations. Get references from your previous clients and make sure they are really knowledgeable about the renewal process. Buying used equipment carries considerable risk. Operating a bucket truck is dangerous enough that it is imperative not to cut corners in the restoration process. If you buy a new one, be prepared to pay a very high price. New bucket trucks are expensive and look a lot like cars, they lose money as soon as you take care of them. Small businesses often buy used bucket trucks or lease them for long-term contracts. It is the most efficient way for them to do business. Even the largest companies like to buy them used since, even if repairs are needed, they end up being less expensive than if you had to buy a new one.
