Thats mine, truck is being replaced this spring and the boom reconditioned. It is an awesome little lift. I can get it right up onto sidewalks to get at work between the power lines and the buildings/houses. If I can't reach it'll always get me to a spot where I can climb out of the bucket and into the tree. The truck in my first set of pics has a 40ft boom on it, its also lowered and has the smallest possible wheels on it. Fits under all the bridges and the boom is manueverable on almost every street. Keep in mind when we are on the bullrack we are within 10ft of lines most of the time. The 55 just isn't practical for most of what we have to do.

how did know that was yours Hey I thought you were the boss and pointed

 

[OTGBOSTON]

I do point, I also lead by example. Sometimes its easier for me to go get a hanger or pick up a limb, than it is to call a truck off of a big job.

Did ya think I only climb at comps???
