This insulated Versalift VST-55-I articulated telescopic bucket truck on a 2026 Ford F-600 4×4 chip body is a purpose-built forestry and utility unit for tight right-of-way work in the Upper Midwest. With 59.6 ft working height, 33.11 ft horizontal reach, and a 400 lb platform capacity, it gives your crews the reach and stability they need while staying non-CDL on the right spec. Independent outriggers, continuous 360° rotation, and a true insulated upper boom make it a solid choice for line clearance, storm response, and distribution work.
The VST-55-I uses a simple, open-center hydraulic system with 3000 psi operating pressure and non-lube bearings for easier maintenance and long-term uptime. Available options like a second set of tool ports, remote lower controls, platform elevator, backup pump, lift eye, and automatic boom latch let you configure the truck to your work. The 4×4 F-600 chassis and chip body give you traction plus clean chip handling on off-road ROW jobs or municipal forestry routes.
