These specialized trucks can extend the bucket over the center of the vehicle, providing 360-degree accessibility. This makes them invaluable for dense forestry work and in urban tree trimming.

Buying Considerations for Used Bucket Trucks
At Centec Equipment Sales, we understand the importance of investing in the right equipment. Here’s what we recommend considering when purchasing a used bucket truck.

These records are invaluable for understanding the truck’s history of care and can be a good indicator of its future reliability.

Having a trusted mechanic inspect the truck can provide peace of mind about your investment.
