This 2012 Altec TA40 is a used bucket truck — also commonly known as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck — designed to safely elevate workers and equipment to height for utility, electrical, telecommunications, and general maintenance work. Altec is a well-established American manufacturer of aerial work platforms, digger derricks, and utility equipment, supplying products primarily to the electric utility, telecommunications, and tree care industries.
The truck is built on a 2012 International 4300 chassis and is powered by a MaxxForce DT engine rated at 260 horsepower, paired with an Allison 3000 RDS automatic transmission for smooth, reliable operation. A three-stage engine brake is fitted, providing additional vehicle control on descents, and air brakes are standard. The cab is equipped with air conditioning, and the chassis carries a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,000 pounds. Importantly, this unit does not require a CDL to operate, broadening the pool of qualified operators.
The aerial unit is an Altec TA40 articulating and telescoping boom, providing a working height of 45 feet and a platform height of 40 feet, with a side reach of 29.5 feet. Both upper and lower controls are fitted, with the upper station featuring Altec ISO-Grip controls for precise, fatigue-reducing operation at height. The boom has been dielectrically tested and certified, confirming its suitability for energized electrical work. A utility bed is also included, providing on-board storage and equipment carrying capacity.
This unit comes from an ex-utility company fleet, recorded at 1,934 PTO hours and 7,405 total truck hours, with the odometer showing 100,311 miles. The combination of documented utility service history, dielectric certification, CDL-exempt GVWR, and the full articulating and telescoping boom configuration makes this a well-specified and immediately work-ready aerial platform. It is located in California, USA, and is listed at $24,900.
