This Altec LS40 is a used bucket truck — also known as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck — designed to elevate a worker safely to height for tasks such as utility line work, tree trimming, streetlight maintenance, and similar overhead operations. Altec is a well-established American manufacturer of aerial work platforms and utility equipment, widely used by electrical utilities, telecommunications companies, municipalities, and tree care contractors.
This 2005 unit is built on a GMC Workhorse W20 chassis and powered by an 8.1-litre gasoline engine paired with an Allison automatic transmission, a durable and widely respected drivetrain combination in the vocational truck market. The odometer reads 53,341 miles, and the Altec aerial body has accumulated 1,410 PTO hours, giving prospective buyers a clear picture of both road and work use to date.
The aerial system features a single-man bucket rated to carry 300 lbs, with a working height of 41 feet and a side reach of 27 feet. These figures make it well suited to distribution-level utility and telecommunications work as well as municipal and arborist applications where moderate reach is required. The cab seats both a driver and a passenger, and the body is equipped with shelves and storage compartments to accommodate tools and equipment in the field.
This machine is described as a clean ex-government unit, indicating it comes from a fleet-maintained public-sector background. It is located in California, USA, and is offered in used condition.
