Electric utility bucket trucks built for safety and efficiency
Versalift electric utility bucket trucks are engineered to support the critical work of utility providers with unmatched safety, reliability, and ease of operation. Designed for linemen and fleet managers alike, our insulated aerial lifts and digger derricks give crews the confidence to work productively in even the most demanding conditions.
For fleet managers and procurement officers, investing in a Versalift means more than just adding equipment to a fleet – it means securing a solution that reduces downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and delivers long-term value. With smarter designs, industry-leading insulation systems, and proven durability, every Versalift electric utility bucket truck helps keep crews safe at height while ensuring networks stay powered.
Bucket trucks and equipment for electric utilities
Every job in the electric utility industry demands equipment that is safe, reliable, and ready for daily use. Versalift offers a complete line of aerial lifts and digger derricks that help linemen work productively while protecting them at height.
From insulated articulated telescopic bucket trucks to rugged digger derricks and high-reach transmission aerials, each model is built to support the demanding work of both power distribution and transmission. Crews can also rely on specialized equipment for extreme height applications, and our overcenter bucket trucks provide greater flexibility and precision when positioning around power lines.
Whether you’re maintaining local distribution networks or managing large-scale transmission projects, Versalift equipment is designed to deliver the performance, safety, and durability that electric utility professionals depend on every day.
Reliable bucket trucks with lower cost of ownership
Electric utility fleets face constant pressure to do more with fewer resources. That’s why Versalift designs every solution with safety, uptime, and total cost of ownership in mind. From distribution to transmission and pole setting, our bucket trucks and specialized equipment give crews the protection and performance they need, while helping fleet managers run more efficient and cost-effective operations.
Distribution bucket trucks for electric utilities
Distribution work often takes place in challenging and hazardous conditions. Linemen need equipment that keeps them safe, while fleet managers demand reliability and low maintenance. Versalift electric utility bucket trucks are built with redundant safety systems, auto shut-off features, and advanced operator protection. By combining stability with long-term durability, our distribution bucket trucks deliver both safety and a lower total cost of ownership.
Transmission bucket trucks built for extreme heights
Transmission networks require equipment capable of safely lifting crews more than 200 feet into the air. Versalift transmission bucket trucks are engineered for these demanding jobs, with or without insulation systems, and all insulated models include TruGuard® – one of the industry’s most advanced safety systems – as standard. From high-reach aerial platforms to rugged digger derricks, our transmission solutions keep crews safe, reduce downtime, and lower lifetime costs.
High access platforms for transmission maintenance
Maintaining and servicing transmission infrastructure requires equipment with the reach and stability to handle large-scale projects. Versalift high access platforms, ranging from 104 to 220 feet, are the most comprehensive in North America. With advanced telematics, stability innovations, and efficient outrigger designs, these platforms give crews the working envelope they need while improving jobsite productivity and safety.
Digger derricks for power pole installation
Digger derricks are essential for setting poles and building reliable power networks. Versalift digger derricks are designed with the strength, range, and sheave height to handle heavy-duty utility construction. They integrate seamlessly with overhead telecommunications infrastructure, supporting multiple fleets on shared poles. With models featuring a horizontal reach of 50 feet and a sheave reach of 60 feet, Versalift digger derricks provide the power and flexibility electric utility fleets depend on.
