FAQs About Bucket Trucks
Bucket trucks, also known as lift trucks or boom trucks, allow you to work safely and efficiently at heights that would otherwise be inaccessible. Our smallest reach bucket truck can reach from 34 to 40 feet and our highest reach truck can go up to 60 feet, with multiple options in between. Boom truck lift operators work on utility lines, forestry work or maintenance work at height. These trucks are also used to conduct fire and other emergency rescues, sign repairs and a number of other tasks. We offer top brands of boom truck rentals, including Chevrolet, Ford and GMC. Bucket trucks come in various sizes and offer several different features, making it easy to select a vehicle for your work.
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 a variety of sizes, from small bucket trucks for light maintenance work to large bucket trucks for heavy-duty outdoor work up to 60 feet in the air.
The cost of a bucket truck rental will vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, the year of release, its features and the location you choose to rent from.
