Versalift Forestry
Versalift Forestry was established in December 2018 when TrueCo, a Shelby, NC-based distributor of aerial lift-mounted equipment, was acquired by Versalift. Butch Trice, General Manager at Versalift Forestry, says, “being an Associate Member of TCIA has helped Versalift to hear customer requirements. By listening, we are able to implement new ideas and configurations, while continuing to build the smoothest, safest and most reliable products.”
“The people in the tree industry are hard working people and need durable and maneuverable equipment that can keep up with them.
Versalift Forestry Offers A Lower True Cost of Ownership
Versalift Forestry offers premium equipment to tree care professionals. “I have worked on and sold all makes of aerials since 1972. I have seen brands come and go and have seen some excel and some fail. I can say, of every make out there, that the Versalift brand is without a doubt the leader in the industry for performance, durability, ease of maintenance and cost.”

ReachMaster was founded in 2001, and was acquired by Ruthmann in August of 2020, and is now known as Ruthmann ReachMaster. It is included in the Time Manufacturing Company acquisition. Ruthmann ReachMaster is a longstanding sales and service partner to Ruthmann North America and is a 17 year member of the TCIA.
