Bucket trucks are equipped with hydraulic, extendable booms topped with a bucket that allows workers to safely work in areas high off the ground. These trucks make otherwise dangerous and challenging tasks much easier and safer to accomplish. There are a few common projects that require a bucket truck; see a few of them below to understand how a truck can help you with your to-do list.

When to Use Bucket Trucks

1. Tree Trimming

Tree removal and trimming can be a dangerous task when you don’t have the right tools. Falling branches can hurt people and property, while climbing up to an insecure location presents the risk of falling. A bucket truck allows you to get up high to trim even the tallest trees on your property while safely staying above falling branches.

2. Steeple Cleaning

A steeple is the most prominent part of a church, so it’s essential that it looks good. Taking a power washer up in a bucket truck allows for quick and easy steeple washing. This simple project will instantly remove years’ worth of dirt and grime, leaving it looking as though it’s had a fresh paint job.

3. Utility Maintenance

Utility companies use bucket trucks to handle all their maintenance and repairs. They are also useful for personal utilities; property owners use them for working on lights or maintaining signs. Some of these projects require two sets of hands; this is when a two-man truck comes in handy.

4. Storm Damage Repair

Bad storms can wreak havoc on your elevated spaces. Storm damage repair often requires working on roofs, trimming broken branches from trees, and performing electrical work to restore service. A bucket truck allows workers to get up to those otherwise inaccessible places for more efficient restoration.
