High Access
Versalift High Access
Versalift delivers a wide range of high access equipment with working heights from 104’ to 220’. Designed for demanding industries like transmission, wind energy, and utility maintenance, these lifts give crews the reach, safety, and reliability they need to handle the toughest jobs. Available in insulated and non-insulated models, they are built to perform—every time.
Industries Served
The Versalift high access series of bucket trucks is used in the transmission, wind power, electric utility, and structure/building maintenance industries.
- Transmission Electric Power – Ideal for installing and maintaining high-voltage transmission lines, with the vertical and side reach needed for safe and efficient work.
- Wind Energy – With working heights up to 220’, Skybird units provide safe access for wind turbine construction and maintenance.
Versalift high access lifts help crews work safely and efficiently on critical infrastructure projects.
Safety, Efficiency & Technology
Built for electric utility construction, maintenance, and large-scale infrastructure projects, Versalift high access lifts combine innovation, safety, and proven reliability.
Maintenance is simple by design: non-lube pin bearings and slide pads reduce upkeep, while insulated models use tested technology that eliminates the need for fiber optic conductors.

CTA High-Reach Platforms
CTA platforms combine power and precision, making them ideal for demanding utility and infrastructure projects. They come standard with wireless data communication, on-board diagnostics, and operator displays at both control levels. With 2,200 lbs platform capacity and 1,500 lbs jib capacity, they are built for heavy-duty work, while short-jack outriggers minimize jobsite footprint.
Models:
- CTA-104 – 104’3” working height, 49’8” horizontal reach (insulated or non-insulated)
- CTA-130 – 129’3” working height, 50’ horizontal reach (insulated or non-insulated)
PHX Heavy Duty Platforms
The PHX line is engineered for large-scale infrastructure projects that require extreme reach and lifting power. With heights from 150’ to 183’ and exceptional side reach, PHX units help crews save time by reducing repositioning needs.
Key highlights:
- 2,000 lbs platform capacity with a 1,500 lbs jib
- Unrestricted work envelope for maximum flexibility
Models:
- PHX-150 – 149’6” working height, 75’ horizontal reach (insulated or non-insulated)
- PHX-180 – 183’ working height, 80’ horizontal reach (insulated or non-insulated)
Skybird Platforms
The Skybird is Versalift’s tallest and most advanced high access solution, reaching up to 220’ vertically and 102’ horizontally. With 1,325 lbs platform capacity and a large working envelope for maximum flexibility, Skybird delivers access where other lifts cannot.
Available in both insulated and non-insulated versions, it is the go-to choice for wind energy and electric utility projects that demand stable and efficient performance at extreme heights.
Model:
- SKY-220 – 220’ vertical reach, 102’ horizontal reach
Stability and Efficiency in Every Condition
Ruthmann high-reach aerial lifts are built to keep crews safe and productive. Even at full working height and load, they remain stable in winds up to 12.5 m/s, allowing work to continue when others must stop.
When weather conditions change, the units return to their stowed travel position within minutes. For wind turbine blade maintenance, they deliver up to six times greater efficiency than conventional methods – reducing downtime and maximizing productivity.
