The Versalift VST-40-MHI on a 2026 Ford F-550 4×4 with BrandFX composite service body is a 45 ft class articulated telescopic bucket truck built for utilities, telecom, sign and lighting work. With up to 45.4 ft working height, 30.2 ft horizontal reach, 500 lb platform capacity and full hydraulic controls, this non-insulated material-handling unit gives crews the reach, payload and stability they need on a CDL or non-CDL friendly chassis, depending on final spec.
This configuration features continuous rotation, upper and lower boom articulation, PTO-driven open-center hydraulics (3000 psi / 6 gpm), non-lube bearings, and a BrandFX fiberglass body for corrosion resistance and weight savings. It’s a strong fit for electric co-ops, municipalities, contractors and tree care fleets that want a compact 4×4 bucket truck with real material-handling capability and room for tools and inventory.
ABM Equipment supports this unit with complete truck upfitting, in-house and mobile truck equipment service, OEM Versalift parts, hydraulic and electrical troubleshooting, dielectric testing, ANSI and DOT inspections, and operator training support across Minnesota and the Upper Midwest.
