This Versalift VST-47-MHI insulated articulated telescopic bucket truck on a 2026 Ram 5500 4×4 is a strong fit for utilities, sign/light & traffic, and municipal work across the Upper Midwest. With up to 51.1 ft working height, 30.9 ft horizontal reach, 500 lb platform capacity, material handling jib, and 360° continuous rotation, it gives line crews the reach, maneuverability, and payload they need on a CDL chassis that still fits tight urban and rural right-of-way work.
The VST-47-MHI uses a 4‑axis boom design with lower boom articulation from 0°–84°, upper boom from −25°–85°, and approximately 103 in of inner boom extension, delivering real reach at height without compromising stability. An insulated upper boom and defined insulation gaps support distribution work, while non-lube bearings and an open-center 3000 psi hydraulic system with 10‑micron filtration are built for long service life and easier maintenance. The Ram 5500 4×4 diesel chassis and steel Logan body provide good payload, tool storage, and traction for year-round Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Dakotas conditions.
ABM Equipment can sell, upfit, and support this configuration with additional body accessories, cargo management, lighting, and safety gear to match your standards. Our Hopkins, MN shop and mobile service crews handle truck equipment service, heavy equipment parts, dielectric testing, ANSI and DOT inspections, crane service, and OEM Versalift and Highway Manufacturing support.
