Bucket Trucks – Aerial Lifts for the Transmission Industry
Bucket Trucks by Versalift in the Power Transmission Industry
Bucket trucks, Aerial Lifts and Digger Derricks play a critical role in the Electric Power Transmission Industry. Because the majority of electrical power is moved from power plants to substations through overhead means, bucket trucks provide linemen safe access to the networks of transmission lines they must manage and maintain. Since its founding in 1965, Versalift has been an innovator in the development of aerial lifts, and has partnered with many of the world’s largest electric power transmission organizations. With increasing demand for uninterrupted, inexpensive energy, the companies that are responsible for building, repairing, maintaining and managing power transmission networks need the tools to meet that demand. Versalift aerial lifts, with a reputation for safety, reliability and overall quality, are those tools.

The global electric power transmission industry faces several challenges. New, renewable sources of electric power, growing demand from end users, and significant investment in upgrading existing aging power transmission infrastructure are some major hurdles. One North American Electrical Power Industry Association has reported that new investment in American electrical transmission infrastructure will exceed $50 billion by 2025. That accounts for investments of more than $6 billion per year, over the next eight years. With pressure on electrical transmission companies to improve efficiency and lower costs, fleet managers need to make sure they purchase or lease the aerial lifts that will help their organizations continue to safely do just that.

Steadily growing demand for more consistent, less expensive energy is driving change in the electrical power transmission industry.

Unique Versalift Features
The culture of innovation and quality at Versalift powers our passion to be the best.

Non-Lube Lift Bearings – Non-lube bearings require little to no maintenance and are designed to last the life of the aerial device.
No Mandatory Tear-down Inspection or Component Replacement – Versalift aerial lifts are engineered to the highest standard of quality so that they last safely and reliably.
Torque Striping – An extra step that we take to ensure the quality of our work. All critical bolts are torque seal marked, allowing the lift operator to perform daily inspections more efficiently, and to receive visual indication when a bolt is loose.
Dual Pin Retention – Every critical pin on the aerial lift has a redundant pin-set, which is then torque striped. Safety is our priority, and our redundant systems prove that.
