Bucket trucks are commonly found on many roads. They are most often seen working on utility poles on the side of the road. A bucket truck can be rented and used for individual purposes as well.
In order to find a bucket truck, it is necessary to first evaluate your needs. Bucket trucks do not come in only one size. Many of these trucks are designed with features for specific purposes. The buckets on some trucks are made to hold tools and better enable maneuvering by the individual who is in the bucket of the truck. Other trucks that may need additional stability have double arms or other machinery that will better support the user. Consider the size of truck that you will need and aspects of the project that it will be used on to assess criteria that will be important in selecting a truck.
After you know what kind of truck you want, contact truck rental companies. Some standard truck rental companies will have certain types of bucket trucks. Alternatively, you can use a rental company that specializes in utility fleets, which have vehicles such as bucket trucks and cranes. If a suitable rental is not available or, if you intend on regular usage, it may be wise to consider purchasing your own bucket truck. Many companies offer new and used bucket trucks with options for financing if needed.
When using your bucket truck, plan ahead for the project you have in mind. While it can be a useful tool in accomplishing the task before you, bucket trucks can also be dangerous if you are not careful. If you are near power lines, guidelines about the safe distance should be adhered to no matter what. While it may be possible to modify your bucket truck, be sure that any modifications meet the approval of an expert. It is best if the approval comes from the original manufacturer of the bucket truck as they will know best what is or is not safe on their bucket truck.
Bucket trucks are useful for many purposes, but caution should be exercised to ensure safe use.
