Bucket Truck Repair and Maintenance
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
EMT is fully insured and provides mobile maintenance for all your maintenance repair needs anywhere in the state of Colorado.
Avoid delays in your operations by bringing in your bucket truck for repair and maintenance with certified technicians.
Bucket trucks are used for aerial tasks in various industries, such as construction, electric utility, telecom, and fire rescue. As such, many operations can be put on hold when they break down or malfunction. To reduce the risks of downtime, they must be inspected and maintained regularly. Per the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), bucket trucks must be brought in for inspection annually. This helps spot deteriorated parts that need replacement and catch minor issues that can cause breakdowns. Because bucket trucks carry people performing aerial tasks, it is crucial to have them inspected for your workers’ safety.
We at Equipment Maintenance Technicians have reliable technicians who provide thorough inspections for a wide variety of mobile fleets and trucks, bucket trucks included. Additionally, we provide repairs and maintenance to keep them in good condition for various operations. We understand that bucket trucks are essential for smooth operations, so we provide quick and appropriate responses for every bucket truck issue.
Common Causes of Bucket Truck Issues
To avoid delays in aerial operations, it helps to know what components usually cause breakdown and damage. While downtime is not always predictable, look at these following components to prevent minor issues that could lead to serious ones:
- Hydraulic Pump - They allow components such as the suspension and braking systems to function. With hydraulic pumps being used as a major part of the bucket truck, leaks would cause downtime and hinder operations.
- Tires and Wheels - Most roadside failures in trucks are caused by tire failures. Some of the most common issues related to failures are misaligned axles, low tread depth, and underinflation. The alignment of wheels is also among the most common issues that prevent bucket trucks from running smoothly.
- Electrical Systems - Battery, alternator, and starter motor are the components that make up a truck's electrical system. When one of these malfunctions, the others follow suit, causing trucks to experience downtime.
Care Tips for Bucket Trucks
With proper maintenance, bucket trucks can last for up to 15 years. Practice the following tips to ensure that they will be useful until the last days of their life expectancy:
- Follow the Manufacturer's Recommendations and Guidelines - Every truck comes with guidelines and recommendations to promote longevity and ensure safety during operations. See to it that you follow these guidelines to the letter.
- Conduct Pre-Trip, en-Route, and Post-Trip Visual Inspections - To avoid roadside failures, conduct a round of inspection of the accessible parts before and after every trip, and a quick inspection during stopovers as well.
- Stay Up to Date on Routine Maintenance - Be sure to have a regular schedule for maintenance with certified technicians. This ensures that your truck is in good shape for future operations.
