This 2008 Altec L42M is a bucket truck — also commonly referred to as an aerial lift truck or cherry picker — a type of work vehicle fitted with an articulating or telescoping boom and an elevated work platform, used to position workers safely at height for utility maintenance, tree trimming, construction, and similar overhead tasks. Altec is a well-established American manufacturer of aerial work platforms, digger derricks, and utility equipment, supplying electric utilities, telecommunications companies, and municipal fleets across North America.
The truck is powered by a Cummins ISC285 engine paired with an Allison automatic transmission, a durable and widely trusted drivetrain combination in the vocational truck segment. It rides on a 156-inch wheelbase chassis configured with a 6.14 axle ratio and is rated at 33,000 lb. gross vehicle weight, placing it firmly in the heavy-duty class. Usage figures stand at 25,257 miles on the odometer, 10,826 engine hours, and 4,106 PTO hours, giving a clear picture of how the truck has been worked over its life.
The aerial unit is the Altec L42M boom, offering a 42-foot reach. The truck is additionally equipped as a material handler, meaning it carries the rigging or equipment necessary to lift and position materials in addition to personnel, adding versatility for line work and construction applications.
The seller describes the truck as in nice condition with no rust, which is a meaningful detail for a unit of this age and is consistent with its Alabama location. This is a used machine priced at $28,500, located in Alabama, USA.
