Walk into any bucket truck dealership and you’ll likely find bucket trucks from a wide range of manufacturers. While it’s perfectly alright to pick a truck at random (following a thorough inspection, of course), sticking to equipment from trusted manufacturers does have its advantages. With a good manufacturer, you can:
-
Expect a certain level of quality in the equipment.
-
Rely on the fact that replacement parts will continue to be available for your equipment in the future.
-
Benefit from the manufacturer’s own guarantees for their equipment.
Several manufacturers stand out for the quality of their bucket trucks. Here are some of them:
