This Versalift VST-47-MHI insulated articulated telescopic bucket truck is mounted on a 2026 Ram 5500 4×4 diesel chassis with a BrandFX composite body, built for electric utilities, power distribution, and sign, light & traffic work. With up to 51.5 ft working height, 30.75 ft horizontal reach, 500 lb platform capacity, and 1,000 lb material-handling jib & winch, it gives your crews the reach, payload, and stability they need on a compact CDL chassis.
The VST-47-MHI features 4‑axis upper controls, continuous rotation, non-lube bearings, and an open-center hydraulic system for smoother operation and easier maintenance. Insulated upper and lower boom gaps support utility work practices, while the Ram 5500 4×4 and BrandFX service body deliver payload, corrosion resistance, and organized tool storage. This configuration is well-suited for distribution line work, secondary work off-road, traffic signal maintenance, and general utility construction.
