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.

Rent to Own Bucket Trucks – A Good Choice?

     Renting to own is an often frowned upon way of purchasing things. The stigma attached is usually unwarranted. Many times, a rent to own plan provides the buyer lots of advantages. Lets look at what the advantages and disadvantages with a rent to own bucket truck.

Advantages:

- Keeps you protected in case business slows down (you just turn the truck back in and walk away).
- Limits your upfront expenses. You don’t have a down payment to use up capital.
- Allows you to test the truck before purchasing.
- Keeps you covered in case of an accident or if something breaks.
- More write-offs on taxes.

Disadvantages:

- You pay more for the truck.
- It is not an asset on your company’s balance sheet until it is paid off.

      You have to weigh your options before considering a rent to own bucket truck. Most rent to own dealers like Southwest Equipment are very flexible on the terms. Get to know you’re dealer and make sure they are giving you a square deal. The company you rent from makes the biggest difference in your satisfaction and bottom line.

The Most Overlooked Things When Buying Bucket Trucks

If you’re shopping for a used bucket truck, chances are there are things you should be looking for that you haven’t been. Of course, everyone knows to check the engine and make sure the boom works, the transmission doesn’t slip, etc. But, not everyone knows to check the body for touch up paint that indicates a wreck or misuse.

Things to check for include reviewing the vehicle’s history. If it came from a big company as a part of fleet, that is great. Usually fleet trucks are regularly maintenanced and serviced per regulations. Bucket trucks that come from fleets also tend to have less wear and tear than trucks from a owner/ operator.

Another thing to look for is the wiring. Look over all of the wiring and make sure they look clean. The last thing you want is chewed up wiring that might short out. Bucket trucks depend a lot on electrical wiring and you should never neglect wiring or its casing.

There you have 3 things to look for the next time you’re shopping for a used bucket truck. Used bucket trucks are best from a professional reconditioner. Reconditioners like Southwest Equipment make sure everything is above standard and they only purchase trucks from fleets or programs. Good luck in your bucket truck hunt.
