While bucket truck operators should have received training before going out on a job, everyone could use a reminder of the tips for safely operating an aerial lift, more commonly known as a bucket truck. This includes administrative workers, company executives, and owners. Fatalities may happen because of electrocution, falls, tip-overs and collapses. Employers are responsible for ensuring that workers are safe in their use of a bucket truck.
In some cases, you might choose an aluminum truck body over a steel truck body. Aluminum is much lighter than steel, which allows you to haul a larger payload. These lighter truck bodies entered the market in 2000, and they continue to gain popularity. If it’s time for you to choose a new truck bed, you might consider an aluminum body.
Accidents could easily happen when operating a bucket truck. While you won’t be able to prevent some of the accidents caused by others, you could definitely minimize the hazards. Safety isn’t just about ensuring that the equipment is working properly. Safety at the work site and ensuring that rubberneckers don’t run into the truck, the boom or the team.
Sometimes accessories for trucks are extras that make life more bearable. However, if it’s an accessory for a work truck, it could make life safer and make your job easier. Drake-Scruggs has several accessories to accomplish ease and safety on a job. Whether you have an older fleet you want to upgrade or you are building a new fleet, add these accessories to your trucks.
