When people think about
bucket trucks, they often assume that they are only useful for
utility repairs, such as when a telephone pole goes down. While these
trucks are indeed staples in the utility industry, you may be
surprised to learn how versatile these vehicles are. Below are just
some of the unexpected uses of
bucket trucks:
Fruit Picking
While people can use a
good old-fashioned ladder to pick fruits from a tree, a bucket truck
is definitely the more efficient option. After all, pickers don’t
want to have to worry about their safety so they can focus all their
energy in gathering the ripe fruits.
Rescuing Animals
When cats or other
animals get stuck in a tree, people usually call on the fire
department to rescue them. However, bucket trucks function much like
fire trucks in that they hoist people up towards higher places. In a
pinch, animal rescuers can use a bucket truck to rescue trapped
creatures.
Hanging Up Signs
Is your town or city
festival coming up? Chances are, your local council will use bucket
trucks to hang up signs that announce this event.
As you can see, these
handy trucks are useful in a wide variety of situations. What other
uses can you think of?
