This 2017 Altec LS87 is a bucket truck — also commonly referred to as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck — designed to safely elevate workers and equipment to height for utility, telecommunications, tree care, and construction tasks. Altec is a well-established American manufacturer specialising in aerial work platforms and utility equipment, serving linemen, arborists, and infrastructure crews across a wide range of industries.
The aerial unit at the heart of this machine is an Altec LS87, delivering a working height of 87 feet and a side reach of 62 feet, making it well suited to overhead utility work and elevated tasks that demand both height and horizontal reach. The two-man rotating basket is rated to carry 600 pounds and rotates 180 degrees, allowing the crew to reposition and work efficiently without moving the truck. A jib winch mounted in the basket adds further versatility, with a rated capacity of 500 pounds for lifting tools, cable reels, or other materials directly to the work zone.
The carrier vehicle is a 2017 Freightliner powered by a Cummins diesel engine and paired with an Allison automatic transmission. The unit shows approximately 190,000 miles, and the transmission has been replaced. The cab is equipped with air conditioning. The aerial system includes remote start and stop as well as remote engine rev up and down, giving ground-level operators control over the unit without requiring someone in the cab.
This truck is located in North Carolina, USA, and is offered in used condition.
