Evaluate the Truck and Its Specialized Equipment
A used forestry truck must be evaluated as both a road vehicle and a piece of specialized work equipment. Engine, transmission, frame, brakes and tires matter, but the condition, specifications and service history of the installed equipment are also critical.
Before purchasing, determine the working height, side reach, capacity, body volume, towing needs and storage required by your business. Confirm that the complete truck is appropriate for its intended operating environment.
Because specialized equipment presents unique safety considerations, buyers should arrange any inspections, certifications or professional evaluations required for their intended use.
Important Details to Verify
Confirm the boom's published working height, side reach and configuration for the work you perform.
Review operation, condition, controls, hoses, cylinders and available maintenance documentation.
Consider the truck, boom, body, equipment, passengers and cargo when evaluating weight ratings.
Review the body, floor, sides, doors, roof structure and any signs of damage or excessive wear.
Determine which inspections, certifications and ongoing maintenance apply to your equipment and operation.
Important: Buyers are responsible for confirming that any truck and installed equipment meet applicable safety, licensing, inspection and operating requirements for their intended use.

Bucket and Forestry Truck FAQs
What is a forestry truck?
Forestry truck is a broad term for a commercial vehicle configured to support tree-service or forestry work. It may include a forestry body, aerial lift, chipper body, equipment storage or other specialized components.
What is the difference between a bucket truck and a forestry truck?
A bucket truck is equipped with an aerial-lift device used for appropriate elevated work. A forestry truck may include an aerial lift, but the term can also refer to a chipper truck, forestry-body truck or another vehicle used by a tree-service operation.
What should I inspect on a used bucket truck?
Buyers should evaluate the truck chassis and the installed aerial equipment. Review the available maintenance history, boom operation, controls, hydraulics, hoses, cylinders, structure and safety equipment. Arrange a qualified professional inspection when appropriate.
What does working height mean?
Working height is an equipment specification that estimates the height an operator may reach when using the aerial device. It is different from platform height and should be confirmed using the equipment manufacturer's specifications.
