Telescoping Aerial Platform for Sale

CUES Inc. offers telescoping aerial platforms with working heights ranging from 40 feet up to 75 feet, including 45', 50', 52', 59', 63', and 65' models from Versalift and Elliott. Higher working heights are typically paired with heavier-duty chassis and may require a CDL depending on GVWR and state regulations.

It depends on the vehicle's GVWR. Many models, such as the Versalift VST-55-HDI and Elliott L50, are built on non-CDL chassis under 26,000 lbs GVWR, allowing operation with a standard driver's license. Larger units like the 75' VO270 forestry trucks have a 33,000 lb GVWR and require a CDL. Always verify local requirements.

Insulated platforms feature dielectrically tested booms and control systems, such as Versalift's TruGuard, rated for specific voltage classes like Category C 46kV. This insulation protects operators performing live-line electrical work. Non-insulated units are typically used for general maintenance, sign installation, or tree trimming where proximity to energized lines isn't a primary concern.

Yes, CUES Inc. offers weekly and monthly rental terms on select telescoping aerial platforms, including 45' to 75' Versalift bucket trucks with non-CDL and insulated options. Rentals are ideal for short-term projects, seasonal tree work, or evaluating equipment before a purchase decision. Contact our team for current rental availability and quotes.

For two-person operations, look for platforms rated at 500 to 600 lbs, such as the Elliott L50, L65, and V63 HiReach models, which feature oversized 40" x 60" steel work platforms. Single-operator units typically offer 350 to 400 lb capacities. Choose capacity based on crew size, tools, and material handling needs.

CUES Inc. offers flexible financing and leasing options through AFG Leasepath and other lending partners for new and used telescoping aerial platforms. Financing terms can be structured around your budget, with payment estimators available for many listings. Trade-in valuations are also accepted toward the purchase of a new unit.
