Telescopic Aerial Device for Sale

Forestry and tree trimming applications typically require 65-75 ft working heights to reach high canopies, as seen in models like the Versalift VO260 and VO270. Utility and telecom line work often uses 45-59 ft insulated units, such as the VST-40-MHI or VST-55-HDI, which balance reach with maneuverability near energized lines.

It depends on the chassis GVWR. Many units, like the Elliott L50 and V63 or Versalift VST-55-HDI, are built on non-CDL chassis (under 26,000 lbs GVWR) for broader operator eligibility. Heavier 75 ft forestry units on Class 7-8 chassis, such as the VO270 at 33,000 lbs GVWR, require a CDL. Always verify local state requirements.

Insulated aerial devices, like the Versalift VST-55-HDI with its Category C 46kV rating, use dielectric booms and control systems to protect operators working near energized power lines. Non-insulated units are typically used for sign, lighting, and general maintenance tasks where electrical contact isn't a concern, often at a lower cost.

Yes, CUES, Inc. offers weekly and monthly rental terms on select telescopic aerial devices, including non-CDL forestry bucket trucks with 45-75 ft working heights. Rentals are a practical option for short-term projects or to trial equipment before committing to a purchase or lease.

For two-person operations, look for platforms rated at 500-600 lbs, such as the Elliott L50, L65, or V63 HiReach models. These platforms are typically sized 40"x60" and support additional tools, materials, or a jib winch, whereas single-person platforms are usually rated around 350 lbs.

CUES, Inc. offers financing assistance through AFG LeasePath and other lending partners, along with trade-in valuation services to offset your purchase. Both purchase and lease ownership options are available across the Versalift and Elliott lineup, with quotes provided directly through our sales team.
