This 1997 MTI 805B is a bucket truck — also known as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck — a type of vehicle-mounted work platform used to position personnel and equipment at height for tasks such as utility line work, tree trimming, sign installation, and general aerial maintenance. MTI is a manufacturer known for producing aerial work platform and boom truck equipment used across utility, municipal, and construction industries.
The heart of this truck is a Caterpillar 3126 electronic diesel engine rated at 230 horsepower, paired with an FS6306X six-speed manual transmission. Drive goes to an Eaton DTC rear axle rated at 23,000 pounds with a 5.29 axle ratio, and the truck is equipped with all-wheel drive for work in demanding terrain or weather conditions. Air brakes and power steering are fitted as standard, and the suspension is a spring type also rated at 23,000 pounds. The chassis runs on 11R22.5 tires mounted on ten-bolt steel rims, rides on a 202-inch wheelbase, and measures 29 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 12 feet 6 inches in height. Gross vehicle weight is rated at 36,220 pounds, and the truck weighs 32,060 pounds as equipped. The odometer shows 177,843 miles, and the seller reports that the unit runs well.
The boom and bucket assembly is an MTI 805 setup bearing serial number . It reaches a maximum working height of 55 feet and is fitted with a rope winch at the end of the boom. The bucket is rated for a 300-pound capacity. The hydraulic system powering the boom is fed by a wetline circuit driven by an air-operated PTO on the passenger side, married to a hydraulic pump. A Capstan winch is mounted at the rear of the truck, adding further material-handling capability on site.
The chassis features a partial double frame for added structural rigidity in aerial work applications. This used bucket truck is located in New York, USA, and is offered at $19,900.
