Nov 29, 2018 | Aerial Lifts, Company news, Uncategorized

Aerial Lifts built by Versalift have earned their reputation for lasting quality and durability. Their lightweight construction is a difference-maker that fleets find attractive.

Aerial lifts, which are built to safely and efficiently convey technicians into the air to service, install and maintain overhead systems, can be found on every continent, except Antarctica. There are thousands of applications for aerial lifts: they are ubiquitous after a big storm, they are often seen from the highway, servicing lighting fixtures and signage, they are used to de-ice airplanes, inspect bridges, hang holiday bunting and to trim trees. The largest fleets tend to be specialized and focused around supporting crucial kinds of infrastructure. The fleet organizations that use Versalift aerial lifts include telecommunications providers and servicers, as well as electric power utility suppliers and maintenance organizations. Consistent and uninterrupted access to electric power and telecommunications is fundamental to normal commerce and life in a modern society.

Aerial lifts that are engineered and built by Versalift create value in several unique ways. First, Versalift has earned its reputation for lasting quality and durability. Second, the light weight of Versalift create significant value. This is because the lighter the lift, the less the opportunity to be out of compliance with DOT weight limits. Third, there is greater payload capacity for the vehicle on which it is mounted, a prized feature among fleet organizations. In the case of Versalift van-mounted aerial lifts, the lightweight advantage is obvious. Versalift offers the most viable van-mounted aerial lifts available to telecommunications fleet providers, and this is in large part because of the lightweight and advanced materials that are used in the construction of Versalift equipment.

Manufacturing quality and engineering quality are combined to create the lightweight advantage of Versalift, which includes the use of lightweight materials, including an aluminum inner boom and turret constructed with advanced, high tensile strength steel. In the case of Versalift aerial lifts, absolutely no sacrifice in safety or durability is made in order to continually improve. This is the way we build the most lightweight aerial lifts available on the market today. According to the US Department of Energy (https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/lightweight-materials-cars-and-trucks ), the use of lightweight materials technology decreases component weight by 10-60%. Decreased component weight leads to fuel savings and reduced wear and tear, which saves money. By continually improving the design and construction of its industry-leading aerial lifts, Versalift delivers a true lightweight advantage to its fleet customers in telecommunications and electric utility construction, maintenance and service.
