AERIAL LIFTS FOR ELECTRIC UTILITY FLEETS

Aerial lifts are as important as they have ever been to the North American electric utility industry, because the industry itself faces several major challenges. Due to the fact that there is stable demand from customers, the industry is fully committed to upgrading the elements of infrastructure that are outdated, and in modernizing the grid. While energy efficient appliances and improved efficiencies are creating downward pressure on the amount of energy in demand, there is a premium being placed on the consistency, quality and sustainable sourcing of electric power. In the United States, organizations including investor-owned utilities (IOUs) and Municipal Utilities are investing more than a billion dollars per month in the grid, at both the power transmission and power distribution levels. Utility companies and Cooperatives are all working to improve their efficiency and to lower their prices. Fleet managers are working to make sure they are purchasing or leasing the aerial lifts that will help their organizations continue to respond to the challenges that face them. Because there are millions of miles of powered cable in the grid, utility industry fleets will need the safest and most insulated aerial lifts to continue doing the work of supporting the flow of American electric power.
