Legacy of Success
A legacy of success
Since 1965, Versalift has built a reputation for designing and manufacturing among the safest and most reliable bucket trucks in the world. Our very first product, the V-24, was created to make line work safer and more efficient, and it helped set new standards in the industry.
What began as a small operation in Texas grew out of a simple mission: to improve jobsite safety for technicians working at height.
From Local Roots to Global Growth
From those early beginnings, demand for Versalift equipment expanded rapidly. In the 1980s, we entered the European market with Versalift International in Denmark, soon followed by regional hubs in the UK, France, and Benelux. At the same time, we strengthened our footprint in the United States with new distribution centers.
Today, Time Manufacturing Company employs thousands of people worldwide and continues to expand through innovation, acquisitions, and strong partnerships—all while staying true to the founding vision of building lifts that are safe, reliable, and built to last.

Time Manufacturing Company’s North American brands provide a complete fleet solution for industries such as utilities, telecommunications, tree care, signage, and bridge inspection. With manufacturing, distribution, and service centers across the U.S., our brands deliver equipment that combines safety, reliability, and long-term value.
Versalift
Versalift bucket trucks and aerial lifts deliver the lowest true cost of ownership with smart, reliable design. They are lighter, handle more payload, and have the industry’s lowest warranty rate with zero recalls. A strong distributor network supports customers through Versalift East, Southeast, Southwest, Midwest, Northwest, and Forestry.
BrandFX
BrandFX builds advanced composite truck bodies that are stronger and lighter than steel. These long-lasting bodies increase payload capacity, reduce fuel consumption, and extend the life of fleet vehicles. Their product range includes service and line bodies, toppers, tonneau covers, and workpod inserts.
