Keep in mind the majority of bucket trucks will not let you use the bucket unless the truck is stopped with the outriggers extended. Using this for stringing is painful - park, outriggers, in the bucket, do your work, down, out, outriggers, move, and repeat. Efficiency is not good. You are probably better with a manlift you can drive yourself if you don’t have the correct bucket truck.
