Bucket Truck Electrician Services for Contractors

License requirements depend on the truck's GVWR. Many bucket trucks like the Versalift VST-55-HDI and VST-47-MHI are Non-CDL at 19,500 lbs GVWR, meaning a standard driver's license may suffice. However, heavier units such as the Elliott L65 at 25,999 lbs may require a CDL depending on your state—always verify local regulations before operating.

The bucket trucks in our inventory range from 40 ft to 75 ft working height. Options include the Versalift STP-36-NE at 40 ft, SST-40-EIH at 45 ft, VST-47-MHI at 52 ft, Elliott L50 at 50 ft, VST-55-HDI at 59 ft, Elliott L65 at 65 ft, and Versalift VO270 at 75 ft—covering a wide range of electrical and utility applications.

Platform capacities vary by model. Single-person platforms typically support 350 lbs, suitable for most solo electrical tasks. Two-person platforms, such as those on the Elliott L50 and L65, support up to 600 lbs, enabling crew-based operations. Always match platform capacity to your crew size and tool load requirements.
