Bucket Truck Spotlight – Versalift VST-52-MHI

BUCKET TRUCK SPOTLIGHT – VERSALIFT VST-52-MHI

Versalift bucket trucks deliver a lower true cost of ownership through smarter and more reliable design. One example of smarter bucket truck design at Versalift is the VST-52-MHI. The unit is built to be driveable, maneuverable and lightweight, while not sacrificing any power or reach. With industry-leading payload of 3,750 lbs, the VST-52-MHI can replace a considerably more expensive 55’ Overcenter material handler. In the case of a three truck line crew consisting of one digger derrick and two 55’ material handling bucket trucks, replacing the equipment would represent about $70,000 in savings per crew.

Versalift Safety

Equipment safety is the top priority at Versalift. The VST-52-MHI has two insulation systems: Electroguard and TruGuard. These two safety systems combine to offer the safest telescopic insulated aerial units on the market. Electroguard creates complete dielectric isolation at any height and position, including fully retracted. TruGuard provides an additional layer of safety to linemen, by isolating the entire upper control system at the platform.
