bucket truck use

[TreeTramp]

Hey y'all- this is really off-track but being avid Buzzer I got an idea to pose.

I am a HVAC contractor that needs to lift off and lift up two units onto a roof that is a mansard style.

But the estate has a gated entrance too narrow for my crane company to pass and real expensive landscaping.

The crane man said to try a SkyTrack but it will leave great ruts in the yard.

So would a tree service company with a bucket truck be able to do the following?

units weight 175 pounds
lift is 42 feet vertical
inward 17 feet to set down on the flat roof

So you Buzzers got ideas for just about everything so anything else you can think of?

A Material handler Bucket should be able to do that!

I don't see why a regular personnel (forestry type) bucket couldn't do it, provided you operate it from the lower controls. It's only 175 lbs.

In either case, you may want to attach a 42 foot (plus height of unit and lifting straps) rope to whatever your attachment point would be, and see if it can still clear your 17' lateral constraint.

75' will do it no sweat. where you at?

How will a bucket get to it, but a crane wont? Our 60 tons get in places our 75' cant.

Joe Hendrickson got his bucket truck into the gated yard; across the brick driveway and lifted both units up and down smoothly. THANKS JOE!
