The Versalift VANTEL-29-NE splicer package on a 2026 Ford Transit is a compact, non-insulated van-mounted aerial lift built for telecom splicing and light construction work. With approximately 33.1 ft working height, 22.7 ft horizontal reach (23.1 ft with positioner), and 350 lb platform capacity, it gives line crews the reach they need while keeping overall vehicle height and footprint low for tight urban and residential access.
This articulated telescopic van lift uses an open-center hydraulic system (approx. 2250 psi / 2 gpm) with non-lube bearings and simple, 2-speed controls to keep maintenance straightforward. Features include 116 in inner boom extension, -8° to +80° outer boom travel, 180° manual platform positioner, 120V receptacle at the platform, available pneumatic circuit, emergency and remote lowering with 12V backup pump, and a splicer-focused interior layout with ladder rack and storage. As shown, lift payload is roughly 1,500 lb, leaving useful capacity for tools and materials on the Ford Transit chassis.
ABM Equipment supports this Versalift VANTEL-29-NE package as a full-service utility truck dealer and upfitter in Hopkins, Minnesota, covering the Upper Midwest. We can configure the Transit and van interior to your telecom spec, handle truck upfitting, graphics, and turnkey delivery, and then keep it working with mobile crane and truck equipment service, dielectric testing, ANSI and DOT inspections, OEM parts support, and operator training. If you need additional coverage or peak-season help, we also offer utility equipment rentals and can match this spec closely from our rental fleet.
