Telescopic Aerial Lift for Sale

A telescopic aerial lift, often called a boom lift or bucket truck, uses a straight, extending boom to raise a work platform vertically and horizontally in a straight line. Unlike articulating booms, telescopic lifts extend like a telescope for maximum straight-line reach, making them ideal for utility, telecom, forestry, and sign/lighting work at heights up to 75 feet.

Our inventory ranges from 40 ft cable placer units up to 75 ft forestry and utility bucket trucks, with common configurations at 45 ft, 50 ft, 52 ft, 59 ft, 63 ft, and 65 ft. The right working height depends on your application, whether it's tree trimming, sign installation, or overhead line maintenance.

It depends on the chassis GVWR. Many units, such as those on Ford F-550/F-600 or Ram 5500 chassis with a 19,500-25,999 lb GVWR, are non-CDL compliant. Heavier units like the 75 ft VO270 on a 33,000 lb GVWR chassis require a Commercial Driver's License. Always verify local state requirements before operation.

Insulated aerial lifts feature dielectrically tested booms, such as Category C 46kV rated units, designed to protect operators working near energized power lines. Non-insulated units are typically used for general maintenance, sign work, or forestry tasks where electrical contact isn't a concern. Choosing the right type depends on your job's proximity to live electrical lines.

Yes, most units in our inventory are available for purchase or lease, and select models can also be rented on a weekly or monthly basis. Financing assistance and trade-in valuations are available through our dealership to help you find the right acquisition option for your fleet.

Telescopic aerial lifts and bucket trucks are widely used in electric utility and telecommunications line work, forestry and tree trimming, sign and lighting installation, and general municipal or commercial aerial maintenance. Each application often requires specific features like insulation ratings, platform capacity, or side reach.
