DIGGER DERRICKS WITH A LOWER TRUE COST OF OWNERSHIP
Digger Derricks Are Heavy Hydraulic Equipment
A Versalift digger derrick is a good example of highly specialized hydraulic equipment that is used in the utility and telecommunications industries. Digger derricks are used to dig holes, set poles and handle an assortment of materials. They are especially valuable in construction of new networks, and in replacing infrastructure damaged by inclement weather or disaster.
Digger Derrick – Operational Factors
Digger derricks should be operated from firm ground, and they perform best when digging in earth that isn’t frozen. While seasonal changes play a role in how efficiently crews can dig holes and set poles, ground type is an equally important factor. Depending upon the environment and type of work, digging radius and sheave height determine how to position the equipment. Equipment reliability is always at the heart of operational success, and Versalift equipment is easier to maintain.
- Sheave Height – the height of a fully extended boom when it is at maximum elevation.
- Digging Radius – the maximum circular reach of the boom
- Jib/Winch Capacity – the amount of weight that a jib and winch can lift

Individual Digger Derricks - Capacity Charts
At Versalift, we determine the load capacity of each Digger Derrick by setting the boom angle at 80 degrees, and retracting the intermediate and upper booms, so that the outside edge of the sheave is 10 feet off the centerline of the rotation bearing of the boom. By testing for load capacity on each unit we build, we are able to assure the highest quality, and deliver an individual capacity chart for each product we build for our customers.
WORLD’S FIRST ARTICULATED TELESCOPIC AERIAL DEVICE - 1980
A lot has changed since we built our first aerial lift in 1965. But one thing that has not is our approach. We build every Versalift to last, it is not unusual to see a 30 year old Versalift Bucket Truck being used daily!
UNIQUE VERSALIFT FEATURES
- Lower True Cost of OwnershipEngineered to the highest standards of quality, our bucket trucks, high reach units and digger derricks feature smarter, more reliable design for a lower true cost of ownership.
- Full Service ProviderWith more than 250 service locations in North America, rental fleet coverage and competitive equipment financing, Versalift distributors deliver a complete fleet solution.
- Ease of MaintenanceVersalift equipment spends more time in service, and less time in the shop. Non-Lube lift bearings require less maintenance, and are designed to last the practical life of the truck. Versalift aerial lifts have no mandatory tear-downs.
- World’s Most Advanced Safety SystemsVersalift Electroguard and TruGuard® safety systems combine to offer the safest telescopic insulated aerial units on the market, at any height and position, including fully retracted
- Attention to DetailTorque striping is an extra step taken to ensure the quality of your equipment. All critical bolts are torque seal marked, which allows lift operators to efficiently conduct daily visual inspections. Additionally, every critical pin on the bucket truck and lift assembly has a redundant pin-set, which is then torque striped.
