This issue's Product Spotlight column featured the Truck Mount and Transport Deck from All Access Equipment. The newly developed All Access Equipment/CMC truck mount system allows a CMC Tracked Lift (up to 100-foot working height) to operate as both a self-propelled lift that can drive through a 36-inch gate, and also as a rear-mount forestry bucket truck/rear-mount aerial lift on an under-CDL truck, such as a Ford F550/F600. This system provides a practical and cost-effective “two lifts for the price of one” solution for contractors who need more versatility from their equipment.
