This Simon Telelect Commander is a used bucket truck, also commonly known as a cherry picker or aerial lift truck, designed to elevate workers and equipment to height for utility, telecommunications, tree care, and infrastructure maintenance work. Simon Telelect is a well-established manufacturer of aerial work platforms and digger derricks, supplying equipment primarily to electric utility and telecommunications companies across North America.
The truck is a 1997 model currently located in Montana, USA, and is built on an International Harvester (IHC) 5000 cab and chassis configured as a 6x6 all-wheel-drive unit, making it capable of operating on uneven or off-road terrain. Power comes from a Mack M11 Cummins diesel engine paired with an Allison 4560 P automatic transmission. The chassis is fitted with a Hendrickson rubber pad and walking beam rear suspension, a double frame for added structural strength, and an integrated Jake brake and cruise control. The cab is equipped with air conditioning and heat. Compressed air is plumbed through to the rear of the truck for auxiliary equipment use.
The frame dimensions are substantial: the cab-to-trunnion measurement is 158 inches and the cab-to-end-of-frame measurement is 239 inches. The truck carries a gross vehicle weight rating of 58,000 pounds. Usage hours are well documented — the unit shows 81,000 miles on the odometer, 7,631 engine hours, and 2,924 PTO hours, reflecting a working history consistent with utility service.
This truck was previously operated by a utility company, with prior registration in Arizona, and is described by the seller as very clean for its age and application.
