FAQs About Bucket Trucks 

What is a boom truck? 

• Boom trucks have a lot of names — they are also called bucket trucks, cherry pickers, line trucks and aerial trucks. Regardless of the name, a boom truck is a type of utility vehicle with a telescopic or articulating arm attached to a bucket. The arm can extend (telescopic) or extend and bend (articulating), lifting a worker occupying the bucket several feet into the air for the purpose of making assessments, assembling and constructing parts, or making repairs. Boom trucks come in variety of sizes, from small bucket trucks for light maintenance work to large bucket trucks for heavy-duty outdoor work above 50 feet in the air.
