Truck Mounted Aerial Lift – A Lightweight Champion
Truck mounted aerial lifts by Versalift are available in both lightweight Transit Van and heavy-duty Cutaway truck variations. While Truck mounted Cutaways have been used for years, regulations reducing overall gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) have made it increasingly challenging to provide high reach, lightweight aerial lifts in a less expensive, enclosed van configuration. Versalift has a true Van-Mounted Aerial Lift Solution and it is a light-weight champion!
Van-mounted lifts are an important category of equipment for Versalift. Constantly innovating, Versalift is the first aerial lift manufacturer to be able to mount an aerial lift onto a Ford Transit Van while keeping the vehicle’s weight under Ford’s recommended maximum. This is an incredible advantage, created by using advanced lightweight steel in the construction of the aerial lift turret, and by using an aluminum inner boom.
Lighter vehicles provide value to fleet managers because they reduce the requirements needed for operation. Versalift distributors provide safe and approved upfits that meet manufacturing recommendations.
Truck-mounted aerial lifts have revolutionized the way that work gets done for Cable TV and other Telecommunications fleets. They offer enhanced maneuverability and huge amounts of equipment storage, allowing tools and electronic equipment to be safely stored and protected from the elements at all times. Tools, materials and equipment remain safe and hidden inside the van, an advantage that is especially valuable in urban environments.
