RHD ISUZU 21m Bucket Truck – 69kV Insulated Aerial Work Platform for South Pacific Live-Line Repair

The RHD ISUZU 21m Bucket Truck is a right-hand drive, 69kV insulated aerial work platform built on the ISUZU GIGA chassis (QL118). Featuring a 205HP ISUZU 4HK1-TC60 Euro 4/6 engine, a 21-meter maximum working height, a 200kg insulated bucket, a folding upper boom structure for narrow island roads, and a CAN bus control system with wireless remote, this vehicle is designed for live-line repair, insulator replacement, and disaster recovery for 66-69kV distribution grids in Fiji, PNG, and South Pacific island nations.

Overview:
The RHD ISUZU 21m Bucket Truck is a specialized aerial work platform designed to meet the unique needs of South Pacific island utility companies. Built on the ISUZU GIGA right-hand drive chassis (QL118), it features a reliable and fuel-efficient ISUZU 4HK1-TC60 diesel engine (205HP, Euro 4/6) with a 6-speed manual transmission. The chassis is strong and durable, adapting well to bumpy rural gravel roads and suburban unpaved roads with lower breakdown rates on mountain village roads. ISUZU spare parts are widely available in South Pacific island countries, and local repair shops and dealers know Isuzu engines and chassis well, making parts procurement easier even on remote islands. The vehicle's core is its 69kV insulated articulating boom and bucket, rated for live-line work. Local distribution grids in Fiji and PNG mainly operate at 66-69kV voltage levels, and this truck's insulation rating supports live-line repair, insulator replacement, and disaster recovery without large-scale power outages. The 21-meter maximum working height covers most local poles and overhead distribution lines. The folding upper boom structure provides excellent mobility on narrow island roads. The body has enclosed storage compartments for insulated tools, repair supplies, and pruning tools, allowing one truck to handle live-line power repair, communication base station maintenance, tree pruning under high-voltage lines, and streetlight repair.

Key Feature:

• Isuzu GIGA RHD Chassis: Suited to South Pacific island roads and service network. ISUZU spare parts widely available. Local repair shops know Isuzu engines well. Chassis is strong and durable for bumpy rural gravel roads and suburban unpaved roads.

• 69kV Insulated Articulating Boom – Live-Line Capability: Rated 69kV, supporting live-line work for local 66-69kV distribution grids. Enables live-line repair, insulator replacement, and disaster recovery without large-scale power outages. Reduces outage losses for island residents, resorts, and industrial enterprises.

• 21-Meter Maximum Working Height: Covers most local poles and overhead distribution lines. Working platform: 1,600 × 700 × 1,000 mm, insulative material, rated load 200 kg.

• Folding Upper Boom Structure – Good Mobility on Narrow Island Roads: Boom folds up so the vehicle is not too long. Avoids roadside branches and obstacles in narrow old town streets and rural forest roads. Bucket position can be adjusted in tight spaces. Outrigger lateral extension is moderate, not requiring very open flat ground.

• Multi-Function Body Toolbox – Serving Multiple Scenarios: Enclosed storage compartments for insulated tools, repair supplies, and pruning tools. One truck, multiple uses: live-line power repair, communication base station maintenance, tree pruning under high-voltage lines, and streetlight repair.

• Safety Markings: Red-white safety reflective markings on body exterior. Improves outdoor repair safety in frequent rain and poor dusk light.

• Outrigger System: Landscape 4,200 mm, Portrait 4,000 mm. Front "V" type, Rear "H" type, independently adjustable.

• Rotation & Control: 360° of continuous rotation. Electrically controlled operation with manual emergency operation. CAN control system with wireless remote, stepless speed regulation.

• Engine & Transmission: ISUZU 4HK1-TC60, 205HP, Euro 4/6, 5,193ml. ISUZU 6-speed manual transmission. 200L fuel tank. 295/80R22.5 tires (6 + 1 spare).

• Applications: Live-line repair, insulator replacement, disaster recovery, communication base station maintenance, tree pruning, streetlight repair.
