This 2008 Altec L42M is a used bucket truck — also known as a cherry picker or aerial work platform — a type of vehicle-mounted elevated work platform used to position workers safely at height for tasks such as utility line maintenance, tree trimming, telecommunications work, and overhead construction. Altec is a well-established American manufacturer of equipment serving the utility, telecommunications, and tree care industries, with a long-standing reputation for its aerial devices and digger derricks.
The seller reports that this truck runs and operates in excellent condition, offering confidence for buyers seeking a ready-to-work unit. It is equipped with air brakes, providing reliable and responsive stopping power suited to a commercial truck of this size and weight class. A differential lock adds traction capability when working in soft, muddy, or uneven ground conditions — a practical feature for crews accessing off-road or challenging job sites.
A front-mounted winch is included, extending the truck's utility beyond aerial work to include light recovery and material-handling tasks. Stability on site is provided by four outriggers, which extend to level and secure the vehicle before the boom is raised, a standard and important safety requirement for aerial lift operations.
This listing is located in Tennessee, USA, and is priced at $18,000.
