Versalift Aerial Lifts Support Key Nevada Industries

Aerial lifts are important to numerous Nevada businesses and government organizations. Because they are important to managing electric utility and telecommunications service, aerial lifts are very commonly spotted throughout Nevada. Because the state is experiencing a population and economic boom, aerial lifts are in near-constant use to keep up with the demand for more power, and more neighborhoods that are wired for broadband internet. State and municipal departments of transportation depend upon vehicle-mounted aerial lifts to accomplish their daily tasks. Other common uses for aerial lifts in Nevada include sign and light maintenance, cell tower construction and wind turbine blade maintenance.

Electric Power and Utility Industry in Nevada

Electric Power and Utility

Aerial lifts support the electric utility industry in Nevada by maintaining the overhead distribution lines that push power to businesses and communities. The majority of electricity that is used in Nevada comes from natural gas, but that may change in the coming decades. The sun soaked terrain of Nevada has more solar energy potential than any other state in the USA. In 2018, about 87% of the energy consumed in Nevada came from out of state. This fact highlights the potential of the renewable energy sector in the state.

Aerial Lifts and their applications for Forestry in Nebraska

Aerial lifts play a limited role in the preservation of wild spaces in Nevada, because much of the state is mountainous desert. With that said, Nevada is home to more than thirty million acres of land that is under State fire protection. Technically, about ten million acres are forested in the state; much of that forest is sage brush. Logging is not a major industry in Nevada. There, forestry aerial lifts are predominantly used for tree care and vegetation management purposes.

Aerial lifts for Bridge Inspection in Nevada

Aerial lifts for bridge inspection are key to public safety. Nevada has about two thousand bridges, and it was ranked first in overall bridge safety and quality in 2018. Some states are responsible for more than 20,000 bridges, so Nevada, with 2,000, is able to provide better upkeep and investment in its infrastructure. The Federal DOT requires every state to submit a bridge inspection report, listing the condition of every bridge, every other year.

The Mike O’Callaghan – Pat Tillman bridge connects Arizona and Nevada over the Colorado River. The concrete and steel arch bridge opened in 2010 with a total length of 1,900 feet.
