Something else to consider is the spped that the unit works. Be sure to do your homework on this. Try to talk to people that already have them, preferably the actual employees that have to operate them.
I have heard complaints from several employees who say that they would rather climb than use the $100,000+ unit that the owner purchased.
Try to find out the gpm of the pump. This should give you a fair idea of the speed. Some of the early units to hit the US market moved much slower than a bucket truck. At least one of the manufactureres has addressed this issue and enlarged the pump and motor to get their units up to speed. Now they are working at a similar speed to what you might expect from a bucket.
