50 ft Aerial Work Platform for Sale

Most 50 ft bucket trucks, including models mounted on Ford F-550, F-600, and Ram 5500 chassis, have a GVWR of 19,000-19,500 lbs, keeping them in the non-CDL range in many jurisdictions. However, CDL requirements vary by state, so verify local regulations before operation.

Standard 50 ft aerial platforms offer capacities ranging from 400 lbs for single-person insulated buckets up to 600 lbs for oversized two-person steel platforms, with many models also supporting a 500 lb jib and 2,000 lb main winch for material handling.

Insulated aerial lifts, like the Versalift VST-47-MHI, feature a dielectric boom designed to protect operators during live-line electrical utility work. Non-insulated models, common in sign, lighting, and general maintenance applications, are typically lighter and more cost-effective where electrical hazards aren't present.

50 ft aerial platforms serve electric utility and telecom companies, sign and lighting installers, municipal and government maintenance crews, and forestry operations. Their extended reach and heavy-duty platforms make them suitable for line work, tree trimming, high-rise window washing, and infrastructure inspection.
