VERSALIFT HIGH ACCESS - SAFETY, EFFICIENCY AND TECHNOLOGY

Versalift High Access Equipment

Versalift high access equipment reaches from 104’ to 220’ of working height. New safety features and technology tools on Versalift high reach equipment create unique value for the companies and agencies that use it.  Versalift has earned its reputation for innovation and is proud to offer the broadest high-reach aerial lift product offering in the North American market. Our market-leading high access aerial lifts are custom-built to serve the organizations that perform large electric utility construction and maintenance projects, and other construction and ongoing infrastructure maintenance tasks. 

Ease of maintenance is a hallmark of Versalift products, and high access units are not an exception to this fact. With an absolute minimum quantity of lubrication points on our North American high access aerial lifts, all of the pin bearings and slide pads on our equipment are non-lube type. Additionally, we are using reliably proven and tested technology to eliminate the need for fiber optic conductors in our insulated aerial lifts.

CTA High-Reach Workhorse Aerial Platforms

CTA high access aerial lifts are available as both insulated and non-insulated units. With wireless data communications that do not use fiber optics, CTA units feature on-board diagnostics with text display. On-board diagnostics monitor and support the use of electric-over-hydraulic controls. CTA units come with operator displays at both the upper and lower controls. These advancements have been tested for reliability, and are designed to withstand the rigors of heavy work. Additionally, these units have 2,200 lbs of combined platform and 1,500 lbs of jib capacity, and unrestricted work envelop. These high access units feature outriggers that can be short-jacked, which eliminates some access considerations.

CTA-104

The CTA-104 is available as insulated (CTA-104-I) or as non-insulated (CTA-104-S) With a working height of 104’3” and a horizontal reach of 49’8”, this CTA unit has a maximum platform capacity of 2,200 lbs. 

CTA-130

The CTA-130 is available as insulated (CTA-130-I) or as non-insulated (CTA-130-S) With a working height of 129’3” and a horizontal reach of 50’, this CTA unit has a similar platform capacity as the CTA-104.

Greater Stability, More Safety, Game-changing Efficiency

Highly stable in windy conditions (12.5 meters/second), at full working height and load, the  aerial lift allows for work to continue efficiently. Ruthmann equipment stows very quickly: following notification of incoming inclement weather conditions, Ruthmann higher-reach wind energy aerial lifts are designed to return to their stowed travelling position in minutes. Also, these aerial lifts are as many as six times more efficient and productive than yesterday’s conventional approaches to wind turbine blade maintenance.
