Bucket trucks have long
branched out from their origins as cherry pickers. The demands of
various industries warrant the configuration and task requirements to
change with the territory. All it takes is a bucket truck and a
number of attachment parts, then off you go. Here are some notable
examples of how you can retool your bucket truck for other uses.
Firefighting is one of
the most prominent uses of bucket trucks, especially for certain
communities that may not have a full-fledged fire engine. With proper
coordination, firefighters can safely reach the higher perches of a
building from the outside and douse the blaze while saving trapped
people. This eliminates the strain of clambering up ladders with the
hose in hand. The operation is further enhanced with the bucket
truck’s stock outriggers to anchor it to the ground.
Every power company out
there will always have a fleet of bucket trucks at their disposal. As
they are concentrated on servicing electric lines, the bucket trucks
they have should pack a bevy of protective features. They include
thigh braces and tool compartments for the bucket itself, first-aid
kits, and defined equipment slots. A utility firm’s bucket truck
will usually have a knuckleboom instead of telescoping arms.
