Why Choose Pickup Trucks in Cab & Chassis Auctions?

Custom Truck One Source provides full lifecycle solutions for commercial vehicles, and our auction marketplace opens access to used pickup trucks that fit utility, contractor, service-fleet or light upfitter roles.

Our auction channel offers a wide variety of pickup trucks and chassis options, giving you the flexibility to choose the right vehicle for your specific needs.

The “Pickups” category under Cab & Chassis Auctions is perfect when you need a reliable work truck — whether bare chassis or with minimal configuration — that you can tailor for your job site’s demands.

Important Details You’ll Find

• Auction listings of pickup-type trucks or chassis-cab pickups, sorted by lot number for transparent bidding.
• Detailed listing specs: year, make/model, mileage/engine hours, chassis type, upfit-potential, condition, location, bidding terms. Buyers can review important details about each vehicle’s specifications and features to make informed decisions.
• “As-is, where-is” auction terms — strong due diligence required, but potential for high value.
• Built on the trust and infrastructure of Custom Truck’s nationwide network: support for transport, title, upfit, service and resale.

Benefits of Participating

• Fleet-Ready Cost Savings: Auctions can give you strong value on trucks that may otherwise cost significantly more.
• Upfit Potential: Acquire a chassis or pickup structure and tailor it — bed, service body, equipment racks — to your exact specification.
• Rapid Acquisition: Compared to commissioning a custom build, auction vehicles can get you into operation faster.
• Single-Partner Support: Beyond the purchase, you have access to the service, parts and customization network of Custom Truck One Source. Our team is available to assist buyers in selecting the right vehicle for their needs.

We maintain a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and quality service throughout the auction process.

Safety Considerations

When it comes to operating aerial lift trucks, bucket trucks, and other aerial equipment, safety is not just a priority—it’s a necessity. Whether your business is in construction, telecommunications, or tree care, ensuring the safety of your operators and bystanders is essential to maintaining a productive and incident-free work environment.

Leading manufacturers like PALFINGER and Altec design their complete line of aerial devices—including non insulated bucket trucks and telescopic aerial lifts—with safety and performance at the forefront. These vehicles are equipped with important features and specifications tailored to meet the rigorous demands of various industries. Choosing the right aerial equipment means selecting a vehicle that is not only designed for efficiency and innovation but also built to suit the specific requirements of your job and location.

Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial for keeping aerial equipment in top working condition. Adhering to industry standards and guidelines, such as those set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), helps ensure that your trucks and aerials operate safely and reliably. Contractors and businesses should conduct routine safety inspections, checking for wear, potential hazards, and ensuring all safety features are functioning as intended. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and supports the long-term quality and reputation of your fleet. For businesses also interested in finding the right crane, it’s important to consider factors like equipment type, load capacity, and operational requirements.

Operator training is another key component of safe aerial equipment operation. Understanding the specifications, load capacities, and unique features of each aerial device is vital for safe and efficient performance. Industries like tree care and construction often require specialized training to handle the unique tasks and challenges associated with aerial work. Investing in proper training not only protects your team but also enhances the overall efficiency and success of your business.

In the event of equipment issues or accidents, having access to trusted support and repair services is essential. Suppliers such as Custom Truck One Source offer comprehensive assistance, from parts and repairs to equipment replacement, ensuring your operations continue smoothly with minimal interruption.

Ultimately, prioritizing safety when purchasing, renting, or operating aerial lift trucks and bucket trucks is a smart business decision. By choosing high-quality, reliable equipment from trusted manufacturers, conducting regular inspections, and investing in operator training, you can protect your team, assets, and reputation. With hundreds of aerial equipment options available—each designed to meet the diverse needs of industries like construction, telecommunications, and tree care—you can find the perfect solution to suit your requirements and keep your business moving forward with confidence.

Ideal Applications

• Contractors needing a capable pickup truck for site work, towing, materials delivery or service roles.
• Service/utility fleets requiring a base vehicle for customization (service body, utility racks, tool storage).
• Companies looking to supplement their fleet quickly and cost-efficiently via auction rather than new build.
• Upfitters who purchase a solid chassis or pickup at auction and then configure the body to specific job requirements.
• Businesses or co-ops that need to rent pickup trucks for short-term projects, vehicle servicing, or to support partnership arrangements, benefiting from the flexibility of rental options for temporary or cooperative needs. Staying informed about new emissions regulations for heavy equipment is also important for companies seeking to maintain compliance and operational efficiency.
