The Versalift SST-40-EIH on a 2026 Ram 5500 4×4 with steel Knapheide body is a 45 ft working-height, insulated articulated telescopic bucket truck built for utilities, telecom, municipal, traffic signal, sign, and tree work. With 27.9 ft of horizontal reach and 450 lb platform capacity, this non-material-handling unit delivers strong up-and-over capability on a compact Class 5 chassis, ideal for tight urban work and off-road job sites across the Upper Midwest. Versalift’s lightweight boom design helps preserve payload, giving you room for tools and materials without overloading axles.
This SST-40-EIH uses a fully hydraulic / electric-over-hydraulic open-center system with 2250 psi operating pressure and up to 3 gpm flow for smooth, predictable control. Lower boom articulates from -5° to +90°, the upper from -14° to +74° with 116 in of telescopic extension, 370° non-continuous rotation, and up to a 42 in insulated gap on the upper boom. The Ram 5500 4×4 diesel chassis and Knapheide steel service body provide a durable, fleet-standard platform with organized storage and good roadside ergonomics for line crews and contractors.
