Currently available as an option on selected articulated telescopic Versalift units, SlopeMax® is a passive safety system that functions on both insulated and non-insulated bucket trucks. SlopeMax® is a game-changing innovation that enables operators to safely and confidently work on hillsides, berms and embankments in excess of five degrees of slope. In fact, SlopeMax® makes it possible to safely deploy an operator in the bucket at up to ten degrees of base slope angle. By limiting the range of motion of the lower boom, SlopeMax® enables safe access to overhead infrastructure while the bucket truck is parked on a slope ranging from five to ten degrees.
In addition to the team of Versalift representatives attending this year’s event, the company is showcasing a brand new SST-40-EIH Lightweight, Insulated Workhorse Bucket Truck, which features several proprietary Versalift safety systems, including SlopeMax®, ElectroGuard® and TruGuard®. Additionally, this new SST-40 articulated telescopic bucket truck will feature a 48 Volt PowerPod manufactured by Ultimate Power.
Working closely with major North American telecommunications providers, Versalift is building innovative equipment that meets or exceeds national fleet specifications. For example, Versalift engineers have been working with AT&T to develop a brand new cable splicer unit that is specifically purposed for the construction of a nationwide 5G network. The 5G cable splicer unit offers unique features, including a climate-controlled interior splicing cabin, an accessible basket, and 31 feet of working height.
