Aerial lifts designed and built by Versalift are the safest and most reliable in the industry. Since 1965, Versalift has established a reputation as an innovative industry leader in aerial lifts. Versalift engineers continue to refine and improve the equipment, making it lighter, stronger, safer and more durable.

Aerial lift manufacturing and engineering quality are combined to create the lightweight advantage of Versalift. The use of lightweight materials, which includes an aluminum inner boom and turret constructed with advanced, high tensile strength steel, is how we are able to build the most lightweight aerial lifts available on the market today. In the case of Versalift aerial lifts, absolutely no sacrifice in safety or durability is made in order to continually improve. According to the US Department of Energy, the use of lightweight materials technology decreases a component’s weight by as much as sixty percent. Significantly lighter equipment has several immediate advantages, including greater payload, and it directly contributes to both fuel savings and a reduction in vehicle wear and tear.

 

AERIAL LIFTS BUILT FOR EASY MAINTENANCE

Aerial lift safety is a leading principle at Versalift. In 2012, Versalift launched TruGuard®, a patented innovation in aerial lift engineering that added an additional layer of protection to linemen in the bucket. In 2017, Versalift introduced TruGuard®, an improved version of the original aerial lift operator isolation system, which eliminates thermal pressure points and increases dielectric protection by 44%.

Aerial lifts for data, cable TV and telephone have been a major focus for Versalift for decades. Versalift builds the lightest aerial lifts in the industry, creating a lower true cost of ownership for telecommunications fleets. Versalift is the only manufacturer who can install a 29 ft aerial lift onto a Ford Transit commercial van. The impact is immediate: telecommunications technicians who commonly carry a stock of equipment, material and tools in order to handle service and repair calls, and all of that material can be safely and securely stored within. Due to Versalift’s lightweight advantage, there is plenty of payload to make this safely possible.

Aerial lifts mounted onto TEL, VANTEL and SST lines of equipment for the telecommunications industry provide Versalift customers with a lower true cost of ownership, with low high amounts of downtime, and no mandatory equipment tear-downs. Many valued Versalift customers from the Telecommunications industry buy aerial lifts with the expectation that they will last 15-20 years, though it is quite common to see them on the road 25 years later.

Aerial lifts are supplemented by cable placer units, like light-duty STP, and heavier duty VTP.  These Versalift cable placer units create efficiency in the construction and maintenance of new and existing telecommunications cable networks. Versalift offers a full line of aerial lifts and cable placers for valued customers in the telecommunications industry.

AERIAL LIFTS FOR ELECTRIC UTILITY FLEETS

Aerial lifts are as important as they have ever been to the North American electric utility industry, because the industry itself faces several major challenges. Due to the fact that there is stable demand from customers, the industry is fully committed to upgrading the elements of infrastructure that are outdated, and in modernizing the grid. While energy efficient appliances and improved efficiencies are creating downward pressure on the amount of energy in demand, there is a premium being placed on the consistency, quality and sustainable sourcing of electric power. In the United States, organizations including investor-owned utilities (IOUs) and Municipal Utilities are investing more than a billion dollars per month in the grid, at both the power transmission and power distribution levels. Utility companies and Cooperatives are all working to improve their efficiency and to lower their prices. Fleet managers are working to make sure they are purchasing or leasing the aerial lifts that will help their organizations continue to respond to the challenges that face them. Because there are millions of miles of powered cable in the grid, utility industry fleets will need the safest and most insulated aerial lifts to continue doing the work of supporting the flow of American electric power.

AERIAL LIFT SAFETY SYSTEM – TRUGUARD®

Insulated aerial lifts from Versalift come standard with our patented TruGuard® Safety System designed to create a safety barrier for upper control isolation. The TruGuard® Safety System provides an added layer of protection to linemen who are working at the platform and on the ground. TruGuard® uses patented technology to feed hydraulic fluid through an insulation gap, effectively isolating and giving linemen secure, protected, and dielectrically isolated upper controls, including all hydraulic controls and tool ports in the bucket itself.

AERIAL LIFTS FOR ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION

Aerial lifts designed and built by Versalift provide the highest level of operator safety to Investor Owned Utilities, Municipal Utilities and Rural Electric Cooperatives. These fleet organizations that support the electric power distribution industry require several kinds of equipment. This list includes, but isn’t limited to: insulated aerial lifts, in a variety of configurations, operating heights and material handling options, digger derricks and cable placer units. It is true that every electric utility distribution fleet in North America needs the best tools it can get to meet the challenges that the industry is facing. Versalift insulated aerial lifts are engineered to serve the specific set of functions that are generally required in the construction, maintenance and management of the electric distribution grid.

Aerial lifts outfitted with insulation systems are purchased by Investor-Owned Utilities, Rural Electric Cooperatives and Municipal Utilities, which focus first on ensuring the safety of their people. Because electricity is dangerous, it is crucial that fleet managers choose the safest aerial lifts available to them.

 

AERIAL LIFTS FOR SIGNAGE, LIGHTING AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS.

Aerial lifts are important to those municipal and fleet organizations that maintain lighting, signage and traffic signals. These organizations range from private to municipal, and the kinds of responsibilities and job requirements that they have change dramatically from day to day.  Because lighting, signage and traffic signals are almost exclusively overhead, the aerial lifts that maintain them can be found in every kind of community across the United States. Aerial lifts are perhaps the most important tools for making sure that the men and women who maintain roadway lighting, traffic signals and signage can do their jobs safely and efficiently.

In the late 1980’s, Versalift invented the articulated telescopic aerial lift, which has become the single most important tool for elevating technicians to perform signal maintenance. Versalift has continued to innovate and to deliver the safest, most reliable and highest quality aerial lifts to Public Works Departments, Highway & Bridge Maintenance departments, State DOTs and other valued customers responsible for lighting, signage, traffic signals and the maintenance of other diverse forms of visual communication.
