I80 Equipment – Providing the Safest Boom Trucks in the Industry
I80 Equipment Offers an Extensive Inventory of Derrick Digger Trucks
September 10, 2009 — The world of a power line man is very different from the majority of us. They have a totally different way of seeing the world. This is due to them not spending much of their time at our level. Power line men are the individuals that work for the utility and telephone companies. They can be found on any number of street sides. Each day they are hauled up and hauled back down to places that are just too high for ladders to be able to reach. While they are hauled way up into the sky, they are required to repair some type of technical or electrical issue that is affecting the rest of the world. High up in the sky, they have a vision of the world that we will most likely never see as not many of us will be hauled up in a bucket trucks anytime soon.

The inner working of a bucket truck is pretty basic when compared to other bucket trucks. They can differ in size and possibly shape, but they are very similar in looks. They are all equipped with a bucket found at the end of the hydraulic lift system. It is attached to the back-end of the truck. The buckets are usually created out of metal, fiberglass, reinforced plastic, or wood. The bucket is made so that a personal can stand inside of it and safely work from this position. There is a storage bin inside the bucket to allow equipment and tools to be taken up with the individual. Many bucket trucks come equipped with separate controls so that the lineman can control where he is from inside the bucket. Many are created for added stability with a double-arm boom.

There is a list of safety requirements that must be followed at all times. One such requirement is that all controls must be checked every day before the truck will be used. Another requirement is that when the bucket is in the extended position, the truck must have the brake locked. A very important guideline is that the truck is not allowed to be driven with a person in the bucket. This can be very dangerous and guidelines restrict this for the safety of all involved.

I80 Equipment follows a strict set of procedural guidelines to insure the safety of every part of the boom trucks. After all these guidelines, each truck must then pass a 77-point inspection that must be signed off of by the mechanic and then another external inspection is required, followed by the certification of the vehicle.
