Terex Utilities and James A. Kiley Company, an authorized long-time Terex dealer based in Boston, Massachusetts, have unveiled two custom-wrapped bucket trucks commemorating America’s upcoming 250th anniversary. The units debuted at the Electric Utility Fleet Managers Conference 2026 in Williamsburg, Virginia this week.
The patriotic trucks feature a custom red, white and blue wrap designed as a tribute to 250 years of American freedom, service and innovation, with inspiration drawn from utility crews who maintain critical infrastructure across the country.
Kiley’s unit is an Optima HRX55 bucket truck.
“As a Terex dealer in the Northeast we are proud of the equipment we build for our customers and we are proud of our country,” Jim Kiley of James A. Kiley Company said. “This custom truck embodies that pride and patriotism that we pour into our equipment.”
Terex Utilities also wrapped a TRX52 telescopic bucket truck in a similar America 250 design. The truck will be used for demonstrations with utility crews across the United States throughout the summer.
“Williamsburg, Virginia, was one of the first locations where America’s independence was celebrated 250 years ago and we thought EUFMC would be the perfect location to show off our American-made bucket trucks and this tribute to the nation’s 250th birthday,” Terex Utilities Product Marketing Manager Tyler Schwingler said.
Following its EUFMC debut, the TRX52 will appear at events in Minnesota, Texas and Nebraska through the end of July.
In addition to the America 250 trucks, Terex Utilities is showcasing several pieces of equipment at EUFMC, including the new TRX Series, the 3rd Eye 360-degree camera system and a hands-on demonstration of the Flex Pro digger derrick controls.
