Cherry Picker
Utility Fleet Sales new location.
Across the United States, more service based companies are seeing the need for a cherry picker in their vehicle inventory. In the northeastern U.S. especially, these vehicles are called upon to assist with a variety of functions that include assisting electricians with access to power lines, aiding foresters and lawn care professionals with tree work, and helping technicians install and maintain the telecommunications infrastructure necessary to keep society’s fast paced environment moving along without a hitch.
In order to determine whether or not a cherry picker is right for you, the style of work for which you will be using it must first be considered. The two main types of cherry pickers, or bucket trucks as they are also called, are the insulated and non-insulated kinds. Insulated trucks are especially welcome to those who work around power lines as they guard against electrocution by giving the worker some grounding. Non-insulated types are used in industries such as telecommunications. However, even in these professions, one must take in the volatility of weather patterns before commencing a full work day.
Cherry pickers are certainly more efficient than climbing a ladder or pole, and they certainly take into consideration the safety of the worker to a higher degree. Through a hydraulic system, the truck safely lifts workers into the air, so they can perform daily functions of their jobs. Some trucks even allow one to lift supplies and equipment via a material handling winch to further assist with the job. These trucks typically lift a worker anywhere from 35 feet (or 3.5 stories) to 125 feet (12.5 stories) into the air safely, stably and effectively.
