VERSALIFT - MANEUVERABILITY, CAPACITY AND FLEXIBILITY
Van mounted units offer the most attractive features and benefits for regular use and maintenance applications in the telecommunications and cable television business. Versalift delivers the safest and most reliable aerial lifts available on the market today. The company, which is known for its innovation, advanced materials and manufacturing processes, is first to market with a lightweight Van-mounted Aerial Lift on a low cost, highly effective Ford Transit Chassis. Versalift van-mounted aerial lift units, loaded with equipment, tools and two operators, easily stay under important weight thresholds, and this takes a lot of regulatory pressure off of a telecommunications service fleet.
Lighter vehicles provide value to fleet managers in that they reduce the restriction/ requirements needed for operation, as well as provide safe and approved upfits that meet or exceed chassis manufacturer recommendations.
VANTEL-29 – Versatility At Its Best
Versalift VANTEL 29 van-mounted aerial lifts are highly maneuverable and perfect for accessing overhead lines in suburban and urban environments. Technicians can work all day from these versatile units, serving densely populated neighborhoods. Side streets and alleys are more accessible in a VANTEL-29, which doesn’t block traffic or need outriggers for stability.
VANTEL Transit
Versalift is the first bucket truck manufacturer to mount an aerial lift on a Ford Transit van, while meeting a 9,000 lb GVWR threshold. This is an important threshold because drivers are not required to carry DOT medical certifications, which greatly reduces cost and liability. Lightweight upfitting of the VANTEL Transit includes fittings and accessories, tail shelf, interior storage, racks, shelving, lift turret and interior boom. This unit’s lightweight advantage can be seen in its larger payload capacity and reduced maintenance costs.
Transit units are only available for non-insulated applications.
SELECT UNITS (NON_INSULATED)
VANTEL Transit units are only available for non-insulated applications. On the other hand, VANTEL Cut-away units are available for sale in both insulated and non-insulated models.
Insulated VANTEL Cut-aways units
Insulated VANTEL Cut-away units offer several advantages and unique features. Instead of an aluminum inner boom, insulated VANTEL Cut-away units use a fiberglass inner boom. Full pressure hydraulic upper controls allow operators smooth, featherable control over the bucket. Additionally, patented Electroguard and TruGuard® safety systems come standard on Versalift insulated VANTEL Cut-away units. Electroguard and TruGuard® combine to offer the safest telescopic insulated aerial devices on the market, at any height or position, including fully retracted.
Service vehicle weight is extremely important to fleets, and it is a key differentiator for Versalift. Telecommunications fleets can experience concern over whether their overweight service vehicles are creating insurance liability. In the case of an accident or other unfortunate incident, the liability for a vehicle being over its recommended GVWR lies directly on the company that owns the vehicle. This entire situation can be avoided responsibly by choosing Versalift VANTEL units, which through smarter, lightweight design, can reduce insurance liability. Lighter equipment has the additional benefit of saving additional wear and tear on the brakes, suspension and transmission of the chassis itself.
VANTEL Cut-away
Dual rear wheels support a service frame and a 12,500 lb GVWR. The Cut-away is a heavier, more durable VANTEL unit, with several advantages. Multiple ceiling height options, significantly more payload and additional outer compartments on the service body are some of the many benefits of choosing a VANTEL Cut-away.
Cut-away units are available for both insulated and non-insulated applications.

VANTEL Transit models are available for non-insulated applications only.
CUT-AWAY

UNIQUE VERSALIFT FEATURES
- TruGuard ™Versalift’s proprietary upper control isolating system provides another level of protection to linemen working in an aeriel lift from phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground electrical contact. TruGuard 2.0™ now comes standard on every insulated Versalift bucket truck.
- Non-Lub Lift BearingsNon-lub bearings require little to no maintenance and are designed to last the life of the truck.
- Torque StripingAn extra step that we take to ensure the quality of our work. All critical bolts are torque seal marked, allowing the lift operator to be more efficient, and to receive visual indication when a bolt is loose.
- No Mandatory Tear-DownVersalift bucket trucks are engineered to the highest standard of quality so that they last safely and reliably.
- Dual Pin RetentionEvery critical pin on the bucket truck and lift assembly has a redundant pin-set, which is then torque striped. Safety is our priority, and our redundant systems prove that.
