At McClain & Co., Inc., we specialize in offering premium bridge access equipment and under bridge inspection units.
Our diverse inventory includes under bridge bucket trucks, vans, aerial work platforms, and heavy-duty truck-mounted units that provide access to areas over 70 feet beneath bridges.
For projects requiring convenience, versatility, and enhanced safety, our under bridge access equipment—whether hi-rail, aerial work platforms, or specialized vehicles—is your reliable solution.
We provide fully operated equipment rentals, featuring both a topside driver/operator and a skilled McClain operator to manage the bucket or platform unit beneath the bridge.
For seasoned engineers and contractors preferring to handle operations themselves, we offer flexible rental options tailored to experience levels and insurance coverage requirements.
Under Bridge Bucket Vehicles
McClain & Co., Inc. offers a range of under-bridge access bucket vehicles, known as Snoopers, designed to provide safe, stable, and highly adaptable work platforms for bridge inspection teams. Our bucket units accommodate various team sizes, with split buckets supporting up to two people (600 pounds combined) and three-person buckets offering a capacity of up to 700 pounds with our A75 model. For larger-scale projects, our platforms range from a 600-pound capacity on smaller units to an impressive 2,200-pound capacity on our largest platforms.
Our truck-mounted under-bridge access bucket rentals offer versatility, spanning from compact 30-foot units to larger models capable of reaching up to 75 feet horizontally beneath bridge decks. These specialized bucket units are particularly effective for navigating complex bridge structures that may be inaccessible to longer work platforms, ensuring precision and efficiency for inspection teams.

These platforms come in various sizes to accommodate inspection teams, but they are particularly valuable for bridge maintenance, repairs, and cleaning projects. Some models even support loads exceeding 2,000 pounds, providing stability and reliability for demanding tasks.

Bucket trucks and vans serve a wide range of purposes, from street and building lighting installation and repair to electrical work, sign maintenance, and other tasks requiring safe overhead access.
Additionally, in areas where highway bridges are less than 20 or 30 feet above the roadway, these units can be utilized for under-bridge access, making them a versatile solution for inspections and related projects.

They provide reliable access for bridge inspections on smaller structures, just as bucket trucks do, while also serving as essential equipment for more complex maintenance and repair projects.
What sets our aerial work platform rental units apart are their standard outriggers, which enhance stability and safety, as well as their telescoping booms—offering extended reach without the articulation commonly found in our other under-bridge inspection units.
