Let me start by saying I am not purchasing one of these. Elliot is based in Omaha, NE and I saw one of these trucks in town at a dealership.

The lift is a 63' work height boom that can be mounted on a 550 chassis. I think the smaller chassis would be a great addition to someone who already has traditional forestry booms. Probably limited applications for tree trimming but could be good for removals or palm tree trimming.

At any rate I thought it was an interesting lift that could be cool for some tree work but at $132,000 I probably won't be buying one soon.



 
Yes 40 witH 142' of stick, working well in general have a leaking outrigger right now, had one fixed shortly after we got it, and had the major feed hose that goes through the swivel loosen off and ruin an oring.

Bunch of little annoying problems but no major problems.
 
That's built onto a dodge ram 3500... Given the cab size and the fixed lower boom Im assuming as it doesn't look like it had a mount point as a hydraulic lift... You aren't accessing much of a tree... I'd say electrician for standard neighborhood poles working simple drops and rehooks. I try and be versatile, don't get me wrong, but I don't see much coming of that in our industry, not when you can find a used terex international for 75-120k. =\
