Everything you need to make your decision

The Altec AT37G is a 37-foot articulating aerial bucket truck boom designed for utility maintenance, streetlight and signal work, tree trimming, and telecommunications infrastructure — the core applications for which utility aerial devices were invented. The AT37G is a two-boom articulating system: the lower boom elevates, the upper boom articulates to position the bucket around obstacles, over parapet walls, and beside utility poles without requiring the truck to be directly beneath the work point. Vertical reach is 37 feet with 21 feet of horizontal outreach at maximum articulation. The 500 lb single-person bucket is rated to ANSI/SIA A92.2 for aerial device operation. Power-take-off (PTO) hydraulic drive pulls power from the truck engine — no separate generator needed. The AT37G mounts on a Class 3, 4, or 5 truck chassis (cab and chassis not included). Altec's industry-leading service network covers over 1,500 field locations across North America — the largest in the bucket truck industry. Hydraulic outriggers deploy from a ground control station for one-person setup.

Watch the Altec AT37G Articulating Aerial Bucket Truck in action — full installation and operation demo.

Aerial bucket trucks use a truck-mounted hydraulic boom and articulating system to position a work bucket at height. The PTO-driven system draws power from the truck engine — boom operation requires the truck engine to be running.

PTO Engagement

Before operating the boom, engage the Power Take-Off (PTO) via the in-cab switch or lever. The PTO connects the truck's transmission output to the hydraulic pump. The truck must be in neutral (auto) or PTO gear (manual) before PTO engagement.

Outrigger Setup

Deploy all four outriggers before raising the boom. Place outrigger pads under each foot on soft or uneven ground. Confirm all four indicator lights show "set" (or physically verify leveling) before raising the boom above horizontal.

Boom Controls

Both platform (bucket) controls and base controls operate the boom. Platform controls replicate all boom functions with the addition of a platform rotation control. The base controls include an emergency override for all boom functions in the event of power loss in the bucket.

Emergency Lowering

A manual hydraulic override at the base of the boom lowers the platform in the event of engine failure or hydraulic system failure. The operator in the bucket should wear a full-body harness with a lanyard connected to the bucket's D-ring anchor at all times.

Note: Set up on level, firm ground whenever possible. If working on a slope or soft ground, use outrigger pads and check the manufacturer's rated operating slope. Exceeding the rated slope with the boom raised is the leading cause of bucket truck tip-overs.

⚙️ Outrigger Interlock

The boom cannot be raised above horizontal unless all four outriggers show confirmed ground contact. An electronic sensor in each outrigger pad signals the control system. A boom raised without full outrigger deployment is the primary cause of tip-overs in aerial truck incidents.

🛡️ Insulation Testing (Class E)

Insulated bucket trucks require annual dielectric testing per ANSI/SIA A92.2. The fiberglass upper boom and bucket are tested to their full rated voltage (40 kV for Class E). A test port on the unit allows in-field testing without removing components.

🔒 Platform Fall Arrest Anchor

A certified D-ring fall arrest anchor is welded into the bucket structure. All operators in the bucket must wear a full-body harness with the lanyard connected to this anchor at all times — OSHA 1910.67 requirement for aerial devices.

🚨 Emergency Lower / Override

A manual hydraulic override at the base of the boom lowers the platform to ground level independently of all electronic controls and truck power. Location and operation are marked clearly on the unit. Test this system at every pre-shift inspection.

How does this compare?

AT37G vs. AT40G: the AT37G is the right call when the work is below 37 feet and CDL licensing is a concern — the lighter boom allows mounting on a Class 3 or 4 chassis that stays under 26,001 GVWR (no CDL required), while the heavier 40-foot boom typically requires a Class 5 or 6 chassis that pushes the truck over CDL weight thresholds. For utility companies with licensed drivers, the AT40G provides 3 additional feet of reach. For tree service companies and municipalities prioritizing non-CDL driver flexibility, the AT37G is the business-practical choice.
