The Versalift VANTEL-29-NE on a 2026 Ford Transit is a compact, non-insulated, van-mounted aerial lift built for telecom and light utility work in tight urban and suburban environments. With a 33.1 ft working height and 22.7 ft of horizontal reach, it gives technicians the access they need without the footprint of a conventional bucket truck, while the Transit chassis maintains good payload and drivability.
This articulated telescopic van lift is rated for 350 lb platform capacity and uses an open-center hydraulic system with 2250 psi operating pressure and non-lube bearings for reduced maintenance. A 2-speed control system, 12V backup pump, handheld remote lower controls, 120V receptacle at the platform, and optional pneumatic circuit all support productive day-to-day line work. Approximate lift payload in this configuration is 1,500 lb, which is valuable for contractors and telecom fleets that need to carry tools, material, and ladder racks without overloading the chassis.
