Construction Utility Trucks for Commercial Fleet Buyers

Most models in this lineup, including the Versalift VST-47-MHI and VST-55-HDI, are built on non-CDL chassis with a GVWR around 19,500-25,999 lbs, so a standard driver's license is often sufficient. However, heavier units like the 33,000 lb GVWR International VO270 forestry truck require a CDL. Always verify local state requirements before deployment.

Insulated bucket trucks, like the Versalift SST-40-EIH and VST-55-HDI, feature dielectrically tested booms rated for specific voltage classes (such as Category C 46kV), allowing safe work near energized power lines. Non-insulated units are designed for general maintenance, signage, or forestry tasks where electrical contact isn't a concern.

Working height requirements vary by task: 40-45 ft units suit sign, lighting, and general utility work; 50-59 ft models handle two-person crews and heavier material lifting; and 65-75 ft forestry trucks like the VO260 and VO270 are built for high-canopy tree trimming and utility line clearance.

Yes. Every truck in this lineup is available for purchase or lease, with financing assistance and trade-in valuation services provided through the dealer. Payment estimator tools are also available on individual product pages to help fleet buyers plan bi-weekly or monthly costs.

This lineup includes Ford F-550, F-600, and F-750 Super Duty trucks, Ram 5500, Chevy 5500, Freightliner M2 106, and International HV607 chassis, spanning Class 5 through Class 7 configurations to match different GVWR, drivetrain (4x2/4x4), and fuel type (diesel or gasoline) needs.

Coverage varies by manufacturer but typically includes a one-year parts and labor warranty plus a lifetime structural warranty on the aerial device from Versalift or Elliott, alongside the OEM chassis warranty—for example, Ford's 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain and roadside assistance coverage.
