The only bucket-truck boom I flew had been operated in my supervisor's presence, or by him, since new, for 6 years.
I hear about Asplundh guys catching tops on their booms and can't imagine most employees being overly careful with them. Used booms kinda feel like buying a well-used climbing...
I can mini-loader tow a rental tow-behind once or twice a year into spots no bucket truck can access.
It's got limited side-reach, but way better reach than the bucket I could park 80' away at the last place.
I've flown a 60' versalift a bunch. Where it fits, I'd rather have the bucket truck...
Oh, I see what happened.
Look for a private party sale...all I hear from bucket-truck owners.
One guy locally has a spider-lift. 83' working-height, and fits through a 36" gate.
Who wants a bucket truck, get a spider lift or flying carpet. The carpet wants to get caught in the saw sometimes, and no-fall arrest harness...not all they're cracked up to be.
Why prompts the question?
