Are aerial lift pre-start inspections truly important? During a morning inspection before work, these guys noticed the keeper bolts had sheared off on a cylinder pin that was supposed to be "maintenance-free" (no grease zerks). In the process of disassembling by a mechanic for further inspection, one pin was broken due to severe wear and the other was significantly worn. Had the pin failed while the boom was being operated, the upper boom would have dropped uncontrollably. Talk about a near miss and a good catch...

A HOT day of Pole Top & Bucket Rescue Training with linemen in Carrollton, OH yesterday!

Their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored.
