Bucket Trucks for 5G Telecommunications
Versalift bucket trucks are built to help telecom crews meet the demands of today’s rapidly expanding networks. In cities and suburbs across the U.S., our compact, maneuverable 5G units give technicians safe access to overhead systems while installing new antennas and upgrading existing infrastructure.
By eliminating the need for a separate splicing trailer, Versalift 5G units save time, capital expense, and maintenance costs — making rollout faster and more efficient.
Bucket Trucks for the Future of Telecom
The market continues to evolve, with BEAD funding for broadband expansion in rural areas while coax cable and fiber optics continue to spread across our cities and suburbs. Our bucket trucks are specifically developed and designed with telecom partners to save time and costs during rollout.
Ready-to-Go Units
To support rapid 5G rollout, Versalift delivers Ready-to-Go specifications through multiple upfit locations nationwide. Contact your Versalift distributor to get started.
