Adding our man bucket to your crane will increase the versatility of your service truck.

Having it will help one technician efficiently get a two-person job done safely.

Although you can store it in your cargo area, having the custom service body with a man-bucket storage platform gives you easier access to the bucket and attachments.

ASE Crane System

Our innovative Advanced Safety Electronics (ASE) Phase 4 control system has elevated jobsite safety and performance.

We’ve combined crane, body, and chassis operations with functional safety using a network of switches and sensors to communicate data. Advanced Safety Electronics reduces the risks of working in hazardous conditions, takes the guesswork out of crane operation with automated protection features, and gives you information to make safe decisions. Based on the robust J1939 Protocol, we can incorporate the telematics data into your fleet management solution.
