A holder that keeps tools secured at the boom of a bucket truck.
A boom clip holder mounts on a bucket truck boom to keep tools secured and within reach. It keeps pole tools and scabbards from sliding around or dropping out while the boom moves.
A bucket gets crowded fast: pole saw, pruner, handsaw, rope. Tools that ride loose slide around as the boom swings and can drop on the crew. A clip holder gives a tool a fixed home on the boom, so it's secure while you travel and still in reach when you set up.
Check the mounting style and size against your boom before ordering. More options are in our bucket truck and aerial lift gear.
Bucket crews who prune all day know how much time is lost searching for tools or fishing a dropped one off the ground. A good holder saves that time and keeps the work moving.
Mount the holder where it won't interfere with boom controls, hoses, or the insulated section of the boom. Never mount metal hardware in a way that bridges the insulated portion of an insulated aerial device.
Check the holder and its fasteners at the daily truck inspection. Replace it if it cracks or no longer grips firmly. Keep the area below the bucket clear when you move tools in and out.
A dropped tool from a bucket is a serious hazard to the ground crew. Securing tools at height is part of a good drop-zone plan, along with keeping people out from under the boom.

Booms vary. Check the holder's mounting style and size against your truck before ordering.
