This 2002 Freightliner FL70 is a bucket truck — also commonly referred to as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck — a type of vehicle-mounted aerial work platform used to position workers at height for utility maintenance, tree trimming, construction, and similar elevated access tasks. Freightliner is a well-established American commercial truck manufacturer with a long history of producing medium- and heavy-duty vehicles for vocational, utility, and freight applications across North America.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3126 electronic diesel engine rated at 230 horsepower (engine serial number CKM35195), paired with a Spicer ES066-7B 7-speed transmission. The drivetrain includes all-wheel drive and power steering. The rear axle is a Rockwell DTC unit rated at 21,000 lbs with a 5.86 ratio, and the suspension is a spring setup also rated at 21,000 lbs. An air-to-air intercooler is fitted; no engine brake is present. The truck's VIN is 1FVDBTAKX2HJ90654.
The odometer reads 127,081 miles, confirmed by the ECM reading, and the ECM logs 4,359 hours of engine operation. The truck weighs 27,420 lbs and carries a GVW rating of 33,000 lbs. Tires are 11R22.5 mounted on 10-bolt hub-pilot steel rims. The wheelbase measures 188 inches, cab-to-axle is 122 inches, and cab-to-end is 196 inches. Overall dimensions are 30 feet in length, 8 feet wide, and 12 feet 6 inches tall.
The aerial work unit is an Altec AN652 boom and bucket setup (bucket serial number 0202-U2770). The boom reaches a platform height of 52 feet and is equipped with a 1,000 lb rope winch at the end. The bucket is rated at 350 lbs. The system is currently operable from the lower controls only — the basket controls are non-functional — and the basket itself is cracked, though the hydraulic system shows no leaks. A wet line hydraulic system serves the boom assembly, driven by an air-operated PTO on the passenger side with a married hydraulic pump.
The truck rides on a single frame and includes a Reading steel utility body. The rear compartment floors of the utility body have rusted through. The truck is reported to run well, and the hydraulic boom assembly functions as described above. This used bucket truck is located in New York, USA, and is listed at $12,900.
