WE have 2 trucks for installs and signal checks. The 1st we bought 2 years
ago and it is a large step van with a boom bucket on top. Kind of looks like
a bread truck with half the front windshield cut away for the bucket. It has
a reach of 44 feet from the ground.
The 2nd truck we bought about 6 weeks ago. It is a large flat bed truck with
an 80 ft boom crane/bucket on it. This is the ones you see sign companies
use to hang signs. 80 feet is a long way up. It weighs in at approx 24 k lbs
and does not need a special class drivers license.
Look around and you can find some pretty good deals out there.

Tom;
A snorkel is a bucket truck that is used to get above the fire and spray
water down on the fire.
It is a diesel and the boss says six miles to the gallon.
You will need a commercial driver's license with air brakes certification.
It is a specialty truck to be sure, you aren't going to use one of these
for installs. The thing weighs 46,000 lbs and you can tell where it has
been. A smaller snorkel might be good for installs, say a 40' rig? This
is an 80' rig.
