This 2004 Freightliner FL70 is a bucket truck — also commonly referred to as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck — a type of vehicle-mounted work platform used to safely elevate personnel and equipment to height for utility work, tree trimming, lighting maintenance, and similar overhead tasks. Freightliner is a well-established American commercial truck manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy and medium-duty vocational vehicles for construction, utility, and municipal industries.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3126 electronic diesel engine rated at 250 horsepower, paired with an Allison MD3560 automatic transmission for reliable, smooth power delivery under load. The truck is equipped with all-wheel drive, making it capable of operating on job sites where traction and stability are critical. An air-to-air intercooler is fitted, and the drivetrain includes a Rockwell rear axle rated at 21,000 lbs with a 5.63 gear ratio and matching spring suspension also rated at 21,000 lbs. Air brakes are fitted as standard for this class of vehicle.
The power take-off is electrically operated on the passenger side and is married to a hydraulic pump. Electrical power is also run to the rear of the truck. A 30,000 lb pintle hook is fitted at the rear, extending the truck's versatility for towing. The chassis is a single-frame configuration with a 194-inch wheelbase, a cab-to-axle measurement of 128 inches, and a cab-to-end measurement of 252 inches. Overall dimensions are 31 feet 8 inches in length, 8 feet wide, and 12 feet 4 inches in height. Gross vehicle weight rating is 33,000 lbs, and the truck weighs in at 27,650 lbs as equipped. Running gear consists of 11R22.5 tires mounted on 10-bolt hub-pilot steel rims.
The aerial work platform is a LATFB-50-1E boom and bucket setup, offering a 50-foot working height and a rated bucket capacity of 350 lbs. Prospective buyers should note that the boom currently leaks oil, which will require attention before or after purchase depending on operational needs.
The odometer reads 89,707 miles, confirmed by ECM data, and the hour meter shows 11,561 hours, also confirmed by ECM. The seller reports that the truck runs well. This unit is located in New York, USA, and is offered for sale at $18,900.
