Harcon's Bucket Boat may be the most innovative and useful machine we've built to date. She has a two-man, 450 lb basket with a 66 ft working height.
Equipped with a hydraulic bow thruster, hydraulic spud, hydraulic anchor, an onboard air compressor, and a complement of air tools, our Bucket Boat makes inspecting and repairing lower level water crossings simple and efficient.
By adjusting the height of the outrigger pontoons, we can bring the heel of the boat to zero in any boom position. And with our custom-built trailer with its hydraulic, chain drive launching system, we can launch her at almost any conventional boat ramp.
No lane closures required.
