This Versalift VST-47-MHI insulated articulated telescopic bucket truck on a 2026 Ford F-550 4×4 is a strong fit for electric utilities, co-ops, municipalities, sign/light/traffic, and contractor fleets that need 50 ft class working height with material handling on a non-CDL chassis. With up to 51.5 ft working height, 30–31 ft of horizontal reach, 500 lb platform capacity and 1,000 lb jib/winch, it gives line and traffic crews the reach and handling they need while still keeping weight and overall travel height in check.
The Versalift 4-axis boom, full hydraulic controls, continuous rotation and insulated upper and lower booms are designed for real utility work—stable at full reach, smooth to feather around energized plant, and simple to service. The BrandFX composite service body on the F-550 4×4 chassis gives you usable payload, corrosion resistance, and organized tool storage so your team spends more time working and less time chasing tools. ABM Equipment backs units like this with full truck upfitting, mobile equipment service, crane and bucket truck repair, dielectric testing, ANSI and DOT inspections, parts support, and operator training throughout Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. If you need short-term coverage or want to try a configuration before you buy, our utility equipment rental fleet can help keep your jobs moving.
Buying through ABM means you’re not just getting a bucket truck, you’re getting a regional utility truck dealer that understands how these trucks work in your territory—winter start-ups, road salt, off-road sites and tight city work. We set trucks up right the first time, support them with OEM and aftermarket heavy equipment parts, and keep them working with mobile service, in-shop repairs, dielectric testing programs and compliance inspections.
