Terex Hi-Ranger Bucket Truck
The Terex Hi-Ranger XT Pro 60/70 is a high-performance forestry bucket truck specifically engineered for speed and responsiveness in tree trimming and environmental construction. With a 75-foot working height, it provides MTM crews with the reach necessary for high-altitude vegetation management in challenging terrains.
Overview
In MTM's field operations, the XT Pro 60/70 serves as a primary tool for large-scale vegetation removal and infrastructure maintenance. This equipment is specifically leveraged for its ability to reach the tops of trees and navigate hard-to-access sites, such as roadside mileage projects. By combining a 75-foot reach with a specialized forestry configuration, it allows our crews to perform technical cutting and debris management with a focus on safety and efficiency for both the client and the environment.
75-Foot Working Height
Delivers a maximum vertical reach of 75 feet (22.9 m), enabling technicians to access the highest points of tree canopies with precision and control.
Control-Plus "3-D" Single Stick
Provides operators with smooth, intuitive, and responsive maneuverability while working in tight vegetation — one hand controls the full range of boom motion.
Continuous Unrestricted Rotation
Equipped with a worm gear rotation system that allows for 360-degree positioning, ensuring the crew can reach the exact work angle needed without resetting the truck.
Side-By-Side Boom Configuration
Designed specifically for forestry productivity, this layout enhances speed and responsiveness for high-volume tree trimming with minimal downtime between positions.
