Introducing the New Versalift V-270: 27 Metres of Working Height on a 3.5-Tonne Chassis

Versalift has expanded its innovative V-Range with the introduction of the new V-270, a 27-metre truck-mounted access platform designed to deliver exceptional reach, advanced technology and simplified operation, all within the 3.5-tonne vehicle category.

With a maximum working height of 27 metres and an outreach of up to 15.9 metres, the V-270 combines impressive performance with the practical advantages of a lightweight, truck-mounted access platform. With a basket capacity of 300kg, it also provides the flexibility to accommodate personnel and equipment when carrying out demanding tasks at height.

What Makes the Versalift V-270 Different?

The Versalift V-270 has been developed for businesses that require greater working height without moving to a heavier vehicle category.

Built on a 3.5-tonne chassis, the V-270 can generally be driven on a standard UK Category B driving licence, subject to the driver’s individual licence entitlement and the vehicle’s plated weight.

This makes it particularly attractive for businesses looking to maximise working height while maintaining flexibility across their fleet.

The V-270 also incorporates Versalift’s advanced XPC control system, automatic stabilisation and Real Time Connect technology, helping operators work efficiently while simplifying everyday fleet management.

Key Specifications of the Versalift V-270

Seven Models. One Platform. The Versalift V-Range.

The V-270 forms part of Versalift’s wider commitment to simplifying access platform ownership and operation through the introduction of the V-Range.

Comprising seven models with working heights ranging from 17 to 27 metres, the V-Range introduces a standardised approach to truck-mounted access platform design.

Rather than developing each model around an entirely different technical platform, the V-Range shares a common architecture, including the XPC control system and standardised hydraulic and electrical systems.

This approach offers several practical benefits:

• Consistent operation: Familiar controls and operating logic help operators transition between different models.
• Simplified maintenance: Shared technologies and components make servicing and fleet management more straightforward.
• Greater fleet flexibility: Businesses can select different working heights while maintaining consistency across their equipment.
• Reduced complexity: Standardisation helps streamline everyday operations for operators, technicians and fleet managers.

For businesses operating multiple access platforms, this consistency can help improve efficiency and reduce the complexity of managing a diverse fleet.

By standardising key systems across the V-Range, Versalift enables businesses to benefit from the individual performance of each model while maintaining a familiar approach to operation and maintenance.

Who Is the Versalift V-270 Designed For?

With its combination of working height, outreach and 3.5-tonne chassis, the V-270 is suited to a wide range of working-at-height applications.

From telecommunications and utilities to street lighting, infrastructure maintenance and equipment rental, the V-270 offers businesses a high-reaching solution without the need to move into a heavier vehicle category.

For fleet operators, the benefits extend beyond the machine’s technical performance. As part of the V-Range, the V-270 also provides the advantages of standardised controls, familiar operating systems and simplified maintenance.

A New Approach to Working at Height

The introduction of the V-270 represents another step forward in Versalift’s approach to access platform design.

By combining greater working height with a standardised technical architecture, the V-Range demonstrates how innovation can deliver more than just increased performance.

The shared design also supports greater operational efficiency, allowing businesses to choose the working height and outreach suited to their applications without introducing unnecessary complexity into their fleets.

For businesses looking to expand or modernise their fleets, the V-270 offers a combination of reach, operational flexibility and long-term efficiency.
