Small Bucket Trucks for Sale to Commercial Fleets

Most models in this lineup have a GVWR of 19,500 lbs, which typically falls below CDL thresholds, though the L65 and forestry unit exceed 25,000 lbs GVWR and may require additional licensing depending on state regulations. Always verify local CDL requirements for your specific chassis and GVWR before operation.

Insulated bucket trucks, like the Versalift SST-40-EIH and VST-55-HDI, feature dielectrically tested booms rated for live-line electrical work (up to Category C 46kV), protecting operators near energized lines. Non-insulated units, such as forestry trucks, are designed for tree trimming, sign work, or general maintenance where electrical contact isn't a primary concern.

Utility and telecom work typically requires 45 to 65 feet of working height depending on pole and line configurations. Models like the VST-55-HDI (59'7") and Elliott L65 (65') provide extended horizontal and side reach for accessing elevated infrastructure, while 40-45 ft units suit lower-height distribution and cable placement tasks.

Yes, all listed bucket trucks are available through purchase or lease, with dealer-arranged financing and payment estimator tools to calculate bi-weekly or monthly costs. Trade-in valuations are also offered, allowing fleets to offset the cost of a new unit against existing equipment.

Available chassis include Ford F-550, F-600, and F-750, Ram 5500, and Chevrolet 5500, offered in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations with diesel or gasoline engines. Chassis selection affects GVWR, off-road capability, and towing capacity, so fleets should match the platform to their terrain and payload needs.

Units are certified to ANSI A92.2 standards for vehicle-mounted elevating and rotating aerial devices, with insulated models carrying Category C 46kV ratings and TruGuard insulated control systems. Vehicles are also DOT inspected and road tested, and equipped with outrigger interlocks, fire extinguishers, and reflector kits for jobsite compliance.
