Probably splicing fiber optic or coaxial lines. Coax you might be able to do on a lift, but they need literal microscopes to splice fiber so they have to do it in the van.

It’s a splicing van. They are splicing fiber optic cable. They need a cleanroom for that kind of work; the van is a rolling clean room.

You know, I always wondered why they have big switchback loops of cable on a lot of lines.

Now I assume it’s the extra cable needed to reach the splicing van.
