SYNOPSIS: This bucket truck replaces a similarly sized and equipped 1994 bucket truck. It is a smaller bucket truck that is used for the 2nd tree crew or in tighter areas where weight or height limits restrict the use of the larger bucket truck. It is also frequently used for banner changes, light servicing, and special events needs such as setting up the Christmas tree. CONSIDERATIONS: This small bucket truck is need to replace a small bucket truck that was purchased in 1994 at a cost of $38K. It will be used for tree trimming, light pole service, traffic signal painting, banner replacement, and for any maintenance that exceeds the safe height work limits of a ladder.
