The electrical requirement comes from the task
Your qualified electrical team sets the requirement for the intended task. That gives the purchase a basis for choosing between insulated and non-insulated proposals. The non-insulated proposal makes no electrical insulation claim. With an insulated proposal, the team needs to know the parts and electrical paths covered, and see the records for that equipment before assessing whether it meets the requirement.
The platform still has a mechanical job to perform. At the intended load, its model chart has to cover the work position from an approved site setup. An insulation claim cannot extend that working envelope or increase platform capacity, and the personnel platform remains unsuitable for a material-hoist duty.
Electrical task planning stays with the responsible specialists. The discussion here concerns purchase documents; it grants no permission to work near energized equipment and supplies no instructions for that work.
The limits of the 12 / 35 / 46 kV catalog entry
The KEEYAK insulated-truck family page lists Insulation Level as 12 / 35 / 46 kV. It also lists working height as 12 to 32 m and bucket capacity as 200 kg. The voltage entry identifies neither a tested unit nor the dielectric test method and date. The page also leaves open whether each voltage label is available across the whole height range.

Those omissions matter when the buyer is comparing an actual quotation. The supplier needs to define the proposed rating and provide the corresponding model documents and test records. The qualified electrical team uses those documents to assess the equipment against its requirements for the intended task. The catalog numbers cannot be matched directly to a distribution-network voltage or used as KEEYAK test results.
The photo shows the truck's appearance. A white boom or platform does not establish dielectric performance, and a label visible in the image cannot replace a test record.
Platform insulation and control protection are different claims
A report on an insulating platform can answer a useful question about that platform without establishing the insulation of the boom or complete truck. Altec's EZ-Egress description illustrates the distinction: it discusses new and periodic dielectric testing for its insulating platform system. The description concerns Altec's system and supplies no test result for a KEEYAK boom or truck. Altec EZ-Egress insulating platform system
The distinction is even narrower at the control handle. Altec describes ISO-Grip as limited secondary insulation between the handle and the upper control valve, and retains the need for primary protection. A quotation that includes this kind of control protection needs to state it separately, so the buyer does not read a control claim as a platform or boom rating. Altec ISO-Grip control system

| Supplier claim | Supporting documents | Question for the review |
|---|---|---|
| Insulating boom or aerial device | The stated device classification, documents for the exact model and identified applicable test records | Which components and electrical paths were covered, and under which stated conditions? |
| Insulating platform or liner | Identification of the fitted platform or liner, with the test method and result | Does the report cover only this component? Which parts remain outside it? |
| High-resistance upper control | Identification of the exact control and a statement of the protection it provides | Is the protection limited and secondary? The document must not imply that it provides all protection required for the task. |
| Complete truck for the specified duty | Records matched to the finished configuration, with acceptance by the responsible qualified team | Do the relevant records describe the delivered combination and address the required task? |

A familiar report title can cover the wrong equipment
Imagine receiving an insulated-truck quotation with a test report bearing the same product-family name. The title looks relevant, but the report may name a different serial number or cover only a removable liner. Either difference leaves the quoted truck's test status unresolved. The supplier then needs to show which fitted parts the report identifies and provide the records needed for the complete proposal.
The report's result has meaning only alongside the identity of the tested component and the method used. Its date and stated conditions need to stay in the purchase file, together with any exceptions. The supplier must connect the reports to the proposed model and fitted parts. A missing required report or an unmatched identity leaves that part of acceptance open.
The destination requirements and the selected equipment documents determine the applicable standard and edition. OSHA's construction rule includes specific electrical-test provisions for its US context. Citing that rule does not establish international compliance for a different truck.

A quotation your electrical team can assess
The supplier needs your qualified electrical team's written requirement alongside the task positions and platform load. The quotation can then name every claimed insulating component and list the documents included with it. That makes the price comparison about identified equipment and records; a higher voltage label by itself leaves the buyer unable to compare the claimed protection.
- Identify the aerial-device model and chassis, with every fitted insulating component listed.
- State the device classification and standard/edition required by the responsible team.
- List the model documents and records for the individual unit needed at acceptance.
- Agree who will match the supplied records to the finished equipment.
- Include the manufacturer's continuing-care and inspection requirements for that configuration.
Acceptance and care after delivery
The handover needs mechanical control and emergency checks as well as electrical records. Each answers a different question: a motion test supplies no insulation result, and a dielectric report supplies no evidence that emergency lowering works. Separate results for the relevant checks need to identify the installed equipment.
After delivery, the equipment's condition remains part of its suitability. The selected manufacturer's care requirements determine the continuing checks, and alteration or damage calls for the appropriate qualified review. The purchase file needs to name the responsible parties and retain unresolved findings before release.
This purchasing guide provides no live-line method or approach distance, and no grounding or dielectric test procedure. It approves no electrical task, device classification or destination certification. Neither catalog labels nor the Altec examples authorize the proposed duty. Release for that duty must remain withheld while insulation coverage or equipment identity is unverified, test status is unresolved or required inspection findings remain open.
Sources and applicability
The Altec sources describe Altec components. These examples make no claim that a KEEYAK offer includes Altec equipment or carries an Altec certificate or dielectric test result.

Sources checked:
Altec describes dielectric performance and new and periodic testing for its platform system. The example concerns that system; it supplies no KEEYAK component identification, rating or test result.

Altec explains the limited secondary insulation at its upper control and the continuing need for primary protection. The component claims and test references concern Altec equipment.
