Our lift, very safe and an effective sales approach

That's pretty. I think I might have truck envy. I had shown my wife some pics of your truck and she asked me if it had outriggers. I"m glad you said it didn't have them 'cause I was unable to see any.

Guest

Thanks Art. Lots of the 42 footers DO have outriggers. It wouldn't be a show stopper to buy one with outriggers, but one would have to be very careful about putting pads down first.

This truck has a strut system of sorts under the frame that allows it to take the 'torque' of the lift extended to the side with no body roll. It also takes turns at speed like a slot car as a result!

nice truck, looks like it could come in hand some times, not sure if I would want it as my everyday work truck but I would like to have it.

@Clyde - It's my every day work truck Clyde. What I spend in extra diesel fuel, I'm pretty sure I make up for with my closing ratio. There are quite a few 'up tight' folks around here, and worrying about a guy falling off their roof and suing them is not high in their agenda LOL. I needed a work truck anyway, so why not

@ Kim - Thanks Kim. I suspect that with Randy's expertise, he shames Spiderman! Who needs a bucket truck with him around?

BTW - it's nice to see some activity on the forum tonight!

He's getting old and besides what guy would not want to play with that!. In our brief stint of building houses, he insisted he needed a skid steer, so the budget was about 6k for it Ha!, by the time he was done he had a 21k machine, used it for 4 houses, then plowed the driveway with it for 2 winters. Lol

That's what I'm talking about! Toys! Tonka toys! I'd take care of the entire subdivision's snow needs just for the opportunity to play with that from time to time! All I have is a dang snow shovel for that..........

Very nice truck. It sets you apart like it would a vehicle wrap or other type of marketing items. Even if you never used it the customer knows your serious and a higher closing ratio and your prices could be justified. What kind of maintenance does it require?

Thank you. An annual inspection at $320 for the lift. (Not mandatory unless you have/need an insulated lift) The rest is just F450 diesel maintenance. Some graphics (before and after photos and some basic verbiage) are coming soon, as is some signage on my daily driver thanks to words of wisdom from a fellow RCIA roof cleaner over lunch today.

Thanks bud. I know someone that can install a lift on that F450 flatbed of yours... I haven't done business with him, but I came VERY close to buying my truck from him..a flatbed with a lift at that! BTW - there's nothing in it for me if you want to know who/where he is.

Not much Clyde. A visual check of all key nuts/bolts and an annual inspection if you so choose (for a non-insulated lift).

Thanks Ted,

I would love to, but I am investing in equipment upgrades, looking at an International 4700 LoPro at a Great deal......and considering AC's 4 day
consulting.
In 2 months I'll probably change my mind for my spring setup and ask for his name. LoL.....
Thank Man

What is a non-insulated lift Ted

Insulated - protects the person in the lift from electricity/high voltage in the event of contact.

Non-insulated - no/little protection from electricity in the event of contact.

Insulated lifts are largely used by electric companies working on high voltage lines.

Ted how much does a good used lift cost installed on a flatbed?

I don't know Clyde, but I can put you in contact with someone that does that and other things with bucket trucks for a living. Over the summer he had a 28ft lift (32 or 36 ft working height) separated from the truck for sale for 2k. The purchase price did not include installation. if you'd like his name/contact info I can send it via PM.
