The Versalift VST-40-MHI on a 2026 Ram 5500 4×4 with BrandFX body is a 45 ft class articulated-telescopic bucket truck built for electric utilities, municipalities, telecom, sign/lighting, and contractor fleets that need real working height and reach on a CDL chassis. With approximately 45.3 ft working height, 30.1 ft horizontal reach, 500 lb platform capacity and full material-handling capability, this insulated lift is a strong fit for line work, street lighting, traffic signal maintenance, and overhead telecom construction across the Upper Midwest.
This unit features full hydraulic controls, 3000 psi open-center hydraulics, 6 gpm flow, continuous rotation, and non-lube bearings to reduce maintenance. Upper boom articulates to +83°, lower boom to -25°/+85°, with a 214 in upper boom insulation gap and standard lower boom insulation gap for work near energized lines. The Ram 5500 4×4 chassis with BrandFX composite service body delivers payload, corrosion resistance, and organized tool and material storage so crews can stay on the job instead of in the shop.
