One advantage Bucket Trucks have over lifts is speed. If you are installing a lot of cameras on poles for say a large mall parking lot. It is a lot faster to drive the bucket truck/van to the new location then it is the lift.

Question for everyone that has bucket trucks or lifts. Do you charge extra when you have to use these tools onsite for a project? Example: Do you add a $200 bucket truck use line item to your quotes or do you just up your pricing across the board to cover your bucket costs?

One thing I will say it was shocking when I saw the cost of bucket vans or trucks. For a new 32ft van your looking at $80K. My 41ft F-550 was $120K new. Your best bet is to find a used one with low hours/miles.

FYI this might be our next lift as long as we keep it clean you can use it inside and outside. You can drive it through a standard door opening and even up and down steps.

Can't the batteries be swapped with an extra set and be charged off-line?
Is there never an option to run off of AC, or at least charge while in use?
Maybe a 48-port passive POE injector with a custom 48 jack to DIN plug? Jk.

I recently made the mistake of renting a towable bucket lift. We only needed it to mount 4 cameras, and they were accessible from paved parking lots. The lift was terrible to maneuver, agonizingly slow, had to be picked up and dropped off, wouldn't level, and barely lasted long enough for the job. It appeared to be brand new, so I was shocked by the battery issue. Bottom line, I rented it because it was $220 vs $500 for a delivered gas unit, and it ended up costing way more at the end of the day in labor and transport.

We already have a single axle 6x6.5x12' trailer that we use for larger jobs. It has a workbench, conduit storage, cables, fittings, etc. We carry a chop saw, table saw, pipe threader, etc. as well as bulk cable. You wouldn't think it would be needed with full size high roof cargo vans, but it sure helps. I'm going to be adding another, and already planned on moving to a 2 axle with brakes, likely 7'x'7'x14'. Given the GR20 is only 2500 lbs it appears it could be carried with the new trailer, although it will likely require ramp modifications. I haven't quite decided yet, but I don't think a hydraulic lift trailer is necessary for a unit of this size. My vans should (just) be able to handle it either way.

I have a 2006 gmc topkick 48 ft reach and i have to say its the way to go.I have rented those tow behinds and jlg and scissors lift have their advantages but speed isn't one of them.I find it awesome for camera work and probably takes care of 85-90 % of my needs.The biggest issue is speed and speed equals money.Also the truck has advantage in lean times to do chimney sweeping ,putting up christmas decorations on utility poles and taking them down,sign repair and light replacement also tree trimming and antenna alignment have been things that i have used the truck for.The insurance and repairs are only drawbacks but it can't be all good.

Alot of the work that I do involves tight parameters, Mainly in school auditoriums.
Normally in the gyms its easier to used a scissor lift and lay down wood or cover for the floors. However with the Auditoriums un-level and slope of the walk ways, and being so narrow make it a struggle for an entry-level apprenticeto get up to beam- detectors.
In one scenario, I tried to use a personal lift however it was still to wide to fit down the walkway, I ended up an extention ladder with a door stop to level the other leg of the ladder.
In the future, if faced with a similar scenario What would be a more "safe" appropriate option to work comfortably at a height of 25+ feet?

Should be "an extendable platform". The author should be ashamed of himself.
