This 2024 Palfinger ETC40IH is a bucket truck — sometimes referred to as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck — designed to elevate workers and their tools safely to height for utility, telecommunications, tree care, and general overhead maintenance work. Palfinger is a well-established manufacturer of lifting and loading equipment, supplying aerial work platforms, cranes, and related machinery to utility, municipal, and industrial markets worldwide.
The unit is built on a 2024 Ford F550 chassis configured as a 4x4 with a 145-inch wheelbase and a 60-inch cab-to-axle measurement. Power comes from a 6.7-litre Power Stroke diesel engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. A limited-slip rear axle aids traction in demanding terrain, and the chassis carries California CARB-compliant emissions certification, broadening its eligible operating area. Cab appointments include a 40/20/40 split bench seat in earth-grey heavy-duty vinyl, vinyl floor mat, air conditioning, cruise control, engine block heater, FM radio, roll-up windows, horn, and backup alarm. Safety and visibility are supported by a backup camera and an amber strobe light kit mounted on both the front grille and the rear tailshelf.
The aerial unit itself features an articulating-telescopic boom configuration with continuous rotation, giving the operator broad reach and positioning flexibility without needing to reposition the truck. Platform controls are handled through a single-handle system mounted at the basket, and hydraulic platform tilt allows the operator to maintain a level working position as the boom articulates. Tool circuits are provided at the platform, enabling hydraulic tools to be powered directly from the basket. Emergency stop valves are fitted at both the upper platform station and the lower ground-level control station, meeting standard safety requirements for dual-station access. The platform is rated for a 350-pound capacity.
The unit travels at a height of 10 feet 4 inches, keeping it manageable on public roads and under typical overhead obstructions. Access to the utility body tailshelf is via a curbside step entry with an integrated LED light, and a 2-inch receiver tube with a trailer light plug is included for towing capability. Strobe lights are fitted to the aerial unit in addition to those on the chassis. This machine is offered used, located in Texas, USA, and is priced at $164,900.
