A Bucket Truck Owner’s – Twas the Night Before Christmas

December 18, 2022 by Beth Stewart

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the hydraulic house
The bucket trucks were in their bays, quiet as a mouse.
Their buckets and liners were hung by the upper boom with care
Anticipating that a downed wire or damaged tree soon would be there.

The tools and ropes were nestled all snug on the truck beds
While visions of sugar-plums danced on the control heads
And mamma with her saw scabbard and I with my tools
Had just settled down to work on the triple valve spools.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
It was clear that this would take much more than just a ladder
Away to my bucket truck, I flew like a flash
Revved up the PTO and was ready to dash.

The moon shone on the breast of the new bucket liner
To a lifer tree specialist, nothing could be finer
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a huge downed tree, so I shifted into gear.

With drivers so able, we got there darn quick
I hopped in the bucket and began working the joystick.
More rapid than eagles, the hydraulic fluid flowed
The unit purred – we were in high-efficiency mode.

Now Teco, now Altec, now Terex and Hi-Ranger
With well-maintained trucks we were in no danger
To the top of the sign, to the top of the tree
Outriggers down, boom up! It’s time to earn a fee!

I spoke not a word, but went straight to my work.
I consulted the ops manual, then turned with a jerk.
The winch rope was hooked up and we pulled it taught
This synthetic rope was a workhorse, a real juggernaut.

I sprang to my feet, to my team I gave a whistle
And away the bucket truck went, like the down of a thistle
But they heard me exclaim as I drove out of sight
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

UEP Helped When No One Else Could

EP was able to help us when no one else could. I sent them a picture of the broken leveling cables on my Hi-Ranger bucket truck, and without knowing the model number or serial number, they found the cables I needed.  I am now handing out UEP’s business card to my friends in the New Jersey tree business.
