This Altec TA40 is a used bucket truck — also commonly known as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck — a type of work vehicle equipped with an aerial work platform mounted on a truck chassis, used to position workers safely at height for tasks such as utility line maintenance, tree trimming, streetlight servicing, and telecommunications work. Altec is a well-established American manufacturer with a long history of producing aerial devices, digger derricks, and utility equipment for the electric, telecommunications, and contractor markets.
This 2004 example is located in Tennessee and is offered in used condition. According to the seller, the truck runs and operates excellently, suggesting both the chassis and the aerial unit are in good working order.
The truck is equipped with air brakes, a standard and important safety feature on heavier commercial vehicles of this type that provides reliable stopping performance under load. It also features a differential lock, which allows the driven axles to be mechanically coupled for improved traction on slippery or uneven surfaces — a practical advantage when positioning the vehicle on job sites where ground conditions may be challenging. This machine is priced at $15,000.
