Be Safe While Working on Your Bucket Truck

Remember to Be Safe When You Maintenance Your Bucket Truck.

I came across this article about bucket truck maintenance safety earlier today and wanted to share it with you guys. I really wanted to stress that working on bucket trucks can be very dangerous. Even if you are doing a small job, take the proper safety precautions to avoid injury.

Most people that work on bucket trucks don’t have formal training specifically for bucket trucks. That being said, I think everyone whether they work on these trucks or not, should read this article. Be careful out there guys. If you need any more advice, email me or respond to this article. You can also check out the bucket truck forums at http://www.buckettruckforsale.weebly.com.

Need Help Trying to Find Bucket Truck Parts?

Parts for bucket trucks can be really tough to find, especially if you have an older piece of equipment. There are very few places where parts to bucket trucks can be found. Let’s look at the best places to find your parts.

Find Bucket Truck Parts Online

The first place most people look for parts is on the internet. Usually, people search through Google, Yahoo, or Bing for the part they are looking for. While this may bring up relevant results, chances are, they don’t actually sell the part you want. If you are looking online, I suggest searching auction sites like eBay or Craigslist. If you find the part there, it will be significantly cheaper than through a storefront.

Visit a Bucket Truck Reconditioner

The best place to find the parts you need are through a reconditioner. Make sure you find a friendly and honest bucket truck reconditioner that will sell parts.  You can find bucket truck parts at Southwest Equipment. They have received tons of good reviews and seem to be the best place to find the parts you need. The benefit that bucket truck reconditioners have is that they tend to order parts frequently. They have lots of great connections with parts departments and can acquire hard to find parts. If you ask nicely, they’ll even put it on for you.

Find Parts for Utility Trucks at Salvage Yards

If you need parts for the truck only and not the bucket attachments, consider buying parts from a salvage yard. Rarely do salvage yards have parts that will work for a bucket so these places are best if you need parts for the truck itself. If you have a smaller truck that is under CDL, you’ll have the best chance of finding the parts you need here. Heavier truck parts will be harder to find and could cost significantly more. Another drawback to buying at a salvage yard is reliability. The last thing you want is an unreliable or dangerous bucket truck. Be extra cautious buying parts for a salvage yard.

These are the best and least expensive options to find parts for your truck. If you can’t locate one through these mediums, you might need to find a more difficult/ expensive route. Make sure that the price is proportional to the amount of value and total cost of your equipment. If a part is rare for your truck, it might be wiser to unload the truck and purchase a new / reconditioned one instead. Check out http://www.buckettrucksonline.com. for more help.
