The Versalift VST-40-MHI on a 2026 Ford F-550 4×4 is a 45.4 ft working height, insulated articulated telescopic bucket truck built for electric utilities, telecom, and tree work in tight urban or rural Right-of-Way applications. With up to 30.2 ft of horizontal reach, 500 lb platform capacity, material handling capability, and continuous rotation, this unit gives line crews the up-and-over capability they need without moving the truck all day.
This configuration uses full hydraulic controls, an open-center 3000 psi system, and non-lube bearings to keep maintenance simple and uptime high. Upper and lower boom insulation gaps, strong side reach, and a steel utility body on the F-550 4×4 chassis deliver a practical balance of payload, stability, and off-road performance. It’s a solid spec for power distribution, telecom construction and maintenance, sign and lighting, and municipal line work.
