Whether it has air brakes or not has absolutely zero impact as to whether the vehicle requires a CDL. None, whatsoever.
Now the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle will make a difference. If it's under 26,000 lbs. GVWR, a CDL is not required (if it's over 10,000 lbs. GVWR, however, a valid and current DOT medical card will be required). If it's a single vehicle over 26,000 lbs. GVWR, and is not pulling a trailer rated at more than 10,000 lbs. GVWR, a Class B CDL will be required.

The Various Uses of Bucket Trucks?
Nearly everybody has seen a bucket truck and is familiar with what it is. Bucket trucks are simply trucks which carry a lift mechanism on the top with a bucket on the end that allows a person to be lifted. A large number of industries use bucket trucks, including the agricultural industry and those who maintain power/phone/cable lines. Each industry has taken the basic idea of bucket trucks and customized these machines to fit their own uses. The end result is a large variety of shapes and sizes which can be useful for a number of different jobs today. Regardless of which type of truck is chosen, OSHA has set some strict guidelines that must be followed when using bucket trucks. These mostly fall under common sense. For example, the person being lifted must wear safety equipment and the truck cannot be driven while a person is in the bucket. Cherry pickers are often used not only for picking cherries but many other types of produce which grows on trees. These specialized bucket trucks lift people up so that the tops of the trees can easily be reached. Being able to reach all of the fruit growing in the trees means that farmers get maximum efficiency from their planting and harvesting and can thus earn more money. Bucket trucks are very important to agricultural workers for this reason. Bucket trucks also make it much more convenient for workers to reach power lines. Before the use of bucket trucks, workers had to use the metal rungs in the sides of the wooden poles that hold up the lines and climb up to power generators to work on them. Cherry pickers generally use trucks with a lift that is hinged whereas power line maintenance workers choose trucks that have a tubular lift with a telescoping design that lifts in a line. Many bucket trucks have two sets of controls; one is on the ground so that an operator can assist with positioning and the second panel is located in the actual bucket so that the worker being lifted can position himself in the best way possible to get his work done. Regardless of which specific industry they are used for or what different names people have for them, bucket trucks have revolutionized the process of reaching things that are high off the ground.

The Importance Of Bucket Trucks?
The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines a bucket truck as “a truck with a cherry picker”. Wikipedia defines a cherry picker as “a type of aerial platform that consists of a platform or bucket at the end of a hydraulic lifting system”. Bucket trucks are used in orchards, for trimming trees, repairing utility lines, washing windows, and any other task that requires a worker to go high up. Some innovative uses include attacking hornets’ nests and bat control. Ford, General Motors, and Chevrolet manufacture bucket trucks. Ford bucket trucks include the F450 and F550. General Motors makes GMC 6500, GMC 7000, and GMC 7500. Chevrolet manufactures the Kodiak C7500. Being large, the trucks only get about eight to ten miles to the gallon, but hybrids are already on the market to solve this problem. A consortium of fourteen utilities, including Southern California Edison (SCE), has worked with industry to create a plug-in hybrid bucket truck. The truck uses thirty per cent less fuel than earlier models. SCE plans to take delivery of eighteen more hybrid bucket trucks for its street maintenance fleet later this year. For anyone planning on buying or operating a bucket truck, OSHA has established safety rules. When a worker is in the bucket, the brakes must be set. Workers must stay in the bucket at all times while elevated, and not try to climb outside it when working. Workers may never ride in the bucket when the truck is moving. Any medications to the bucket truck must be made with written approval from the manufacturer. The truck and bucket must be kept a safe distance from power lines and only qualified employees must be allowed to work on the lines. Lines should not have electricity flowing through them when they are being worked on. Controls must be clearly marked and tested daily. Loads and distributions must follow manufacturer’s recommendations. Protective gear such as goggles, gloves, hard hats, and boots must be worn as appropriate. Drivers must not move the bucket without permission of the passenger except in case of emergency. These large tools can be invaluable for many functions, and new developments are making them more “green.” When used appropriately and safely they can be highly effective. .
