Aerial lifts built for the telecommunications industry are vital in the construction, expansion and maintenance of overhead telecommunication networks. New initiatives to install 5G antennas and upgrade and improve the larger wired network have boosted demand for vehicle mounted aerial lifts. Designed with telecommunications technicians in mind, Versalift van-mounted and truck-mounted aerial lifts are smart choices for telecommunication fleets. Our dedicated 5G unit saves time, capital expense and upkeep expense by being highly maneuverable and compact, while eliminating the need for a splicing trailer.
