Are there any companies out in northern california that can install a boom or buck lift to a van?

So i have been researching all over and cannot find any information on this, i have a chevy express van 3500 and i want to add a lift to it to install signs but i cannot find a company that does it. Maybe im not searching for the right things or something. Has anyone got this on their vehicle?

Why not call a lift company who puts them on at the factory ?? Not saying they don't do it, but I'd be concerned with the safety issues involved, like tipping over or enough power to run the thing. Will you want it to run off the engine or an on-board generator ?? Will you be putting an air oppressor in the truck ?? They really come in handy. Also, a welder.

Yes that's exactly what I'm trying to do but I don't know the name of the companies that install them. I'm just trying to talk to a shop that installs them and get their opinions on it.

You know you have to return these the way you pick them up and not go putting things on them to suit your needs.

What about getting a tow behind lift? That way you take it only when you need it. Can also be unhooked and pushed into areas a van can't get to. Also if the van breaks down you still have use of the lift. Should be less hassle for maintenance/inspections too.

why would you do this instead of just buying a bucket truck? seems to me it would be more expensive to add a bucket to a vehicle than just buying one already done. Also, if you are not going to be using this a whole lot I would rent. Trust me owning a lift can be a PITA
