Hino Bucket Truck

A bucket truck is a type of mobile, aerial work platform that consists of an aerial device mounted to a truck (a motor vehicle designed to transport cargo).  In some cases the aerial device is mounted onto a van, and is then referred to as a bucket van.  The aerial device consists of a fiberglass or steel platform (bucket) secured to a hydraulic or electric lifting system, which includes the lifting arm(s) (boom), and a rotating turret.  The system is designed to safely lift personnel into the air to perform work.  Some bucket trucks are also equipped with a material handling winch designed to lift materials and supplies.
