This 1998 GMC Topkick C7500 is a bucket truck — also known as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck — designed to safely elevate workers and their tools to height for utility, telecommunications, tree care, lighting, and general overhead maintenance work. GMC is a well-established American commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty trucks for vocational, municipal, and industrial applications. This example pairs a capable truck chassis with a purpose-built aerial work platform, making it a self-contained unit ready for a wide range of elevated work tasks.
The truck is powered by a Caterpillar 3116 turbocharged diesel engine rated at 215 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The chassis is a single-axle configuration with a gross vehicle weight rating of 33,000 pounds, a front axle rating of 12,000 pounds, and a rear axle rating of 21,000 pounds. The wheelbase measures 230 inches, and the suspension is a conventional leaf spring setup. Running gear consists of 11R22.5 rubber mounted on aluminum wheels.
The aerial unit is an Altec AM900 boom and bucket mounted on a 96-inch by 17-foot 8-inch flatbed body. Altec is a widely recognised manufacturer of aerial work platforms and digger derricks serving the utility and telecommunications sectors, and the AM900 is a well-regarded model in their lineup. The boom offers a maximum platform height of 68 feet, a maximum working height of 71 feet 7 inches, and a maximum horizontal reach of 37 feet 2 inches. Rotation is continuous through 360 degrees, giving operators full flexibility when positioning the bucket. The unit is configured as a one-man bucket with a rated capacity of 400 pounds.
Four outriggers are fitted for stability during aerial operations. A 48-inch storage box is mounted behind the cab for tools and equipment. The truck features manual locks, doors, and windows throughout. Videos of the truck in operation are available, and private viewings can be arranged in Michigan. The unit is priced at $24,500.
