Construction 18m Aerial Working Vehicles

Why a truck-mounted platform

Scaffolding is slow to put up and hard to move. A boom truck drives to the job, sets its outriggers and has a crew working at height in minutes. When the task moves along a street, the truck simply moves with it. The boom usually both folds and extends, so the basket can reach up and over wires, walls or parked cars.

Typical build of 18m Aerial Working Vehicles

The specification table below lists the model data. Points marked as typical show what this vehicle type usually has, and we confirm them for your order:

• Controls: hydraulic telescopic/articulated boom, basket controls
• Mechanism: hydraulic boom lift, truck-mounted turntable
• Build: high-tensile steel boom, steel work platform
• Range: vehicles of this type span 14-24 m platform working height

For power line crews, buyers often ask about insulated booms and the basket load rating. We check these points against the job before we confirm a build.

Picking a working height

The 18 m size suits two-storey buildings, most street lighting and many distribution lines. For lower work, compare the 14m aerial working vehicle. Some fleets also pair these trucks with a 13.5m aerial working truck for lighter jobs.

Export and tender supply

Send the award's spec and deadline, and we match the configuration, the compliance papers and a dispatch date. We supply buyers in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana with an invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading prepared for customs. For operator safety rules, OSHA publishes guidance on aerial lifts. Terms and papers are set out on our shipping and export documents page.
