BT Extends Contract With Versalift

BT Fleet has extended Versalift's contract as supplier of van-mounted work platforms for a further two years.

Versalift has supplied all of BT�s chassis- and van-mounted platforms since 1998, shipping over 1000 units to date, mainly the Ford Transit van-mounted PE5 with a 12.9m working height platform.

More recently, BT has taken PE6 units from Versalift with 14.2m working height on a 5.2 tonnes Iveco Daily van. This combination not only provides faster working height but has internal racking to carry tools and equipment to support BT�s Pole Erection Units.

Earlier this year, BT ordered its first machines from the Litetel range of truck-mounted platforms. BT�s fleet now features nine LT69NF 23m working height platforms on DAF 7.5 tonnes trucks with 4.3m wheelbase.

The new contract, meeting with BT�s meticulously high standards, confirms Versalift�s status as the UK�s leading supplier of vehicle-mounted elevating platforms.

Company Information - Versalift

Versalift

Versalift is the UK leader in vehicle-mounted access used for a wide range of maintenance, installation and other �at height� tasks in the construction, highways, transportation, power, CCTV and municipal sectors.

The company manufactures a full line of van- and truck-mounted hydraulic platforms with a choice of boom configurations for working heights from 9m to 23m.

Units are produced at Versalift�s purpose-built production facility in Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire, which also houses a state-of-the-art service workshop, parts operation and IPAF accredited training centre.

Versalift machines have a reputation for innovative design, quality engineering and excellent reliability, all backed by the company�s unmatched service, from on-site support to next day parts supply.

The choice includes innovative reduced weight platforms (up to 10.5m working height) on 2.9 tonnes Vauxhall Vivaros with jack-free operation. Larger units range from 23m working height platforms on 7.5 tonnes trucks to 11.5 tonnes Big Trak crawlers and insulated platforms for rough terrain.

Sole supplier to BT, Versalift produces several market-leading van-mounts in the 11.6m to 17m working height ranges.

Versalift machines offer many benefits including telescopic main booms, giving much better outreach at upper heights, generous working envelopes for machine size and good spare payload.
