This 2009 Freightliner Business Class Bucket Truck is a used aerial work platform vehicle — also commonly known as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck — designed to elevate workers and equipment to height for utility, tree care, telecommunications, and municipal maintenance tasks. Freightliner is a well-established American commercial truck manufacturer building medium- and heavy-duty trucks for a wide range of vocational and fleet applications across industries including construction, utilities, and municipal services.
The aerial equipment on this unit is an Altec LRV60-E70 bucket, capable of reaching a platform height of 70 feet, making it well suited to overhead line work, tree trimming, and elevated inspection tasks that require significant vertical reach. The boom, outriggers, and PTO-powered dump box are all reported to be functioning correctly, and the outriggers provide the stabilization needed for safe elevated operation.
Powering the truck is a 230 horsepower Mercedes MBE 900 turbocharged diesel engine paired with an Allison 3500 automatic transmission, a robust and well-regarded drivetrain combination commonly found in vocational trucks of this class. The truck has accumulated 91,000 miles and 8,190 hours of use. The gross vehicle weight rating is 33,000 pounds, and stopping power is handled by air brakes, standard for a truck of this size and duty cycle.
The body configuration includes a dump chipper body with a PTO-powered dump box, making this unit particularly suited to tree service operations where debris management is part of the workflow. A tree service headache rack is also fitted, providing rear cab protection during chipping and hauling operations.
This truck was originally purchased new by a municipality in Iowa and has been maintained in working order throughout its service life, with the engine, transmission, and all PTO-driven systems reported to be operating as expected. It is currently located in Illinois and is offered for sale at $45,990.
