Bucket Trucks for Sale in California for Commercial Fleets

Chassis emissions compliance varies by manufacturer and model year, and some configurations are restricted from sale in California per manufacturer regulations. Fleets operating in California should confirm CARB compliance and chassis availability with the dealer before ordering to ensure the unit meets state emissions and registration requirements.

Most medium-duty bucket trucks are built on non-CDL chassis with a GVWR between 19,500 and 25,999 lbs, allowing operation with a standard driver's license in many states. Heavier units, such as 75 ft forestry models on Class 7-8 chassis (around 33,000 lbs GVWR), typically require a CDL. Always verify requirements with your state DMV.

Two-person bucket trucks, such as the Elliott L50 and L65 models, offer platform capacities of 600 lbs, with oversized 40" x 60" steel platforms and 160-degree rotation. These configurations support crews handling sign installation, lighting maintenance, and utility work requiring an extra set of hands at height.

Yes, insulated aerial devices such as the Versalift VST-55-HDI carry a Category C 46kV insulation rating with a TruGuard insulated control system, and are certified to ANSI A92.2 standards. These units are designed for safe operation near energized lines for electric utility and telecom applications.

Available chassis include Ford F-550/F-600/F-750, Ram 5500, Chevrolet 5500, International HV607, and Freightliner M2 106, with diesel and gasoline engine options ranging from 6.7L Cummins and Power Stroke diesels to 7.3L gas engines.
