Buy Cherry Pickers for Commercial Aerial Lift Operations

It depends on your frequency of use and project timeline. Rental rates for cherry pickers typically range from $300–$800 per day or $1,200–$3,500 per week, which can add up quickly for ongoing operations. Purchasing a commercial bucket truck—starting around $80,000–$120,000 for 40–45 ft models—provides long-term value for fleets with consistent aerial work needs. CUES, Inc. offers both rental solutions in New England and New York and flexible financing for purchase, so you can evaluate the best fit for your operation.

Our cherry picker inventory spans 40 ft to 75 ft working heights. The Versalift STP-36-NE reaches 40 ft for telecom work, while the 2025 Versalift International VO270 reaches 75 ft for high-canopy forestry operations. Elliott L50 and L65 models cover the 50–65 ft range, offering two-person platforms ideal for sign, lighting, and utility applications.

CDL requirements depend on the vehicle's GVWR and your state's regulations. Many models in our inventory, such as the Versalift VST-47-MHI and VST-55-HDI on Ford F-550/F-600 chassis, are classified as non-CDL with GVWRs of 19,500 lbs. Always verify your local jurisdiction's requirements. Models on heavier chassis, like the International HV607 at 33,000 lbs GVWR, may require a CDL.

Yes. Several models in our lineup feature fully insulated booms rated for energized line work. The Versalift VST-55-HDI carries a Category C 46kV insulation rating, and the SST-40-EIH and VST-47-MHI are also insulated and designed for compliance with electrical safety standards. Always confirm the specific insulation rating for your intended application before operation.
