Get To Know Bucket Truck Regulations Before You Buy
The owner of a bucket truck should have certain knowledge of this type of vehicle before operating it. In fact, if a bucket truck for sale interests you, you should learn a bit about it before making the purchase. If you are unsure about certain features of bucket trucks, you can ask the experienced staff at Utility Fleet. Not only can our expertise keep you from purchasing a vehicle that is not right for your company, but we can also help you determine if a bucket truck rental is better for you than buying.
OSHA has many guidelines surrounding boom trucks, and while most apply purely to the operation of such trucks, many rules should be kept in mind before you buy. Most regulations can be adhered to simply by taking a look at the bucket truck for sale that you are interested in. For example, guidelines state that all of the controls should be clearly marked so that the operator knows exactly what each lever, switch, or button does. Controls also need to be tested everyday prior to use, which is not a problem at Utility Fleet. We make sure everything is in working order before we offer bucket truck rental or sales to anyone.
You should also be aware that truck operators are expected to adhere to the rules after the initial purchase of the truck. No amount of safety features or perfect performances on operations tests will stop a bucket truck from breaking or harming a worker when grossly misused. Make sure your employees understand the limitations of the unit, boom weight capacities, and the necessary protective gear to be worn, to name a few important guidelines. If you have any questions about a particular bucket truck for sale or the regulations regarding the vehicle, we at Utility Fleet can likely help. Buying a bucket truck can be exciting because it often signals that your company is growing, taking on new projects, and improving the quality of its fleet. However, owning or renting boom trucks is also considered a responsibility, which is why an education regarding the regulations is important. Let Utility Fleet help you select the best truck for your company, and allow us to use our knowledge to answer any questions you have.

Why does a fire truck accompany a ambulance to a 911 call scene?
I'm not sure if this applies to every state but I live in Arizona and I'v seen four different 991 calls for my neighbor who has heart problems and I was wondering why a fire truck always comes along even if it's not needed. Thanks!
A Fire engine is the first to be dispatched for several reasons.
1) they can respond faster than an ambulance as they are staged at a station that is close and an ambulance could take as much as 20 minutes to arrive depending on their call load and location.
2) Most Firefighters are also trained as at least an EMT and ALL engines in Arizona have a Paramedic on board and have all the required gear for ALS treatment.
3) Firefighters are equipped for breaching/rescue operations if they are needed to reach the Victim, Ambulances are not and would have to wait for either the police or a fire engine.
