VERSALIFT   SST-37/40-EIH

SPECIFICA

TIONS

PEDESTAL

 - The pedestal is a round shape with an 

access opening on both sides.  The 12 gallon (45 l) 
hydraulic reservoir is built integral to the pedestal.  A 
100-mesh suction screen and 10-micron return line 
fi lter are located inside the pedestal.  The top plate is 
1-1/4 in. (32 mm) thick and machined fl at to support 
the rotation bearing.

LUBRICATION

 - Non-lube bearings are used at all 

points of motion.  The rotation bearing is the only 
component that requires periodic lubrication.

PAINTING

 - The complete unit is primed and painted 

prior  to  assembly.    The  standard  color  is  white 
urethane.

HYDRAULIC  OIL  RESERVOIR

  -  Designed  as  an 

integral  part  of  the  pedestal,  the  reservoir  has  an 
anti-splash baffl  e and easy to read fl uid level gages.  
The oil capacity of the reservoir is 12 gallons (45 l), 
which is suffi  cient for a 5 GPM (19 lpm) hydraulic 
tool circuit.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

 - The open-center hydraulic 

system  operates  at  3  gpm  (11.4  lpm)  at  2250  psi  
(158 kg/cm

2

).  The pump draws oil through a 100-

mesh suction screen.  A 10-micron return line fi lter 
with bypass valve is included.  Fluid level gages are 
furnished for checking fl uid level.  Hydraulic oil is not 
included.  This system can be driven by the chassis-
engine accessory belt or by the chassis transmission 
power-take-off . 

HOSES AND FITTINGS

 - The hoses routed through 

the booms are high pressure and non-conductive with 
swaged hose end fi ttings. Nylon sleeves are installed 
over hoses at points of movement.  Reusable fi ttings 
can be installed if a hose is damaged.

ENGINE START/STOP AND MASTER CONTROL

 

- The  start/stop  circuit  has  been  designed  so  that 
the lift cannot be operated unless the truck ignition 
key is in the “run” position and the master switch is 
“on.”  This feature makes it diffi  cult for unauthorized 
individuals to operate the lift when the truck is locked.  
An air cylinder at the platform and a toggle switch at 
the turret are provided to actuate the engine start/
stop control.

ELECTRICAL  INSULATION  SPECIFICATIONS

 

-  The  outer/inner  boom  assembly  is  tested  and 
certifi ed for electrical work at 46 KV and below in 
accordance with ANSI A92.2 requirements.  Aerial 
devices may be designed and confi gured for gloving 
work  and  tool  methods  at  46KV  and  below.    The 
outer/inner boom assembly is fully insulated even 
in a retracted position.

OUTRIGGER  BOOM  INTERLOCK  SYSTEM

  - 

The  outrigger/boom  interlock  system  is  a  feature 
designed to prevent the lift from being operated until 
the outriggers contact the ground.  The interlock also 
prevents the outriggers from being retracted before 
the lower boom is properly stored.

SLOPE  INDICATORS 

–  Slope  indicators  are 

required  on  Versalift  units  and  supplied  by  Time 
Manufacturing Co.  Slope indicators shall be installed 
to  indicate  the  level  of  rotation  bearing  relative  to 
the ground.  

MANUALS

  -  Two  Operator’s  Manuals  and  two 

Service  Manuals,  one  Manual  of  Responsibilities 
and one EMI Safety Manual are included with each 
aerial lift.

SST-EIH OPTION SPECIFICATIONS

Below is a brief description of some of the available 
options for the aerial lift.

INDEPENDENT  H-FRAME  OUTRIGGERS

Outriggers  are  shear-plate  mounted  to  the  frame 
and are equipped with pilot operated check valves, 
internal thermal relief valves and separate controls.  
The outriggers furnish  90 1/2 in. (2.3 m) of spread 
and a maximum of 9 in. (.23 m)  of penetration with  
15 in. (.38 m) of ground clearance.  Outrigger legs 
are shipped loose to accommodate various frame 
heights and body widths.  Outrigger pivot feet are 
standard.

INDEPENDENT  A-FRAME  OUTRIGGERS

Outriggers  are  shear-plate  mounted  to  the  frame 
and are equipped with pilot operated check valves, 
internal thermal relief valves and separate controls.  
At maximum extension, the outriggers furnish 125 
3/4  in.  (3.19  m)  of  spread  and  9  in.  (229  mm)  of 
penetration.  They have 17 in. (432 mm) of ground 
clearance based on 36 in. (0.91 m) or 31 in. (0.79 
m) frame height.  Outrigger pivot feet are standard.

TORSION  BAR

  -  Over  frame  and  under  frame 

torsion  bars  are  available  and  add  to  the  stability 
of the vehicle.  All Stable Ride torsion bars include 
rubber bushings at all points of movement and do 
not require lubrication.  Ballast may be required with 
the use of torsion bars.

TALLER AND SHORTER PEDESTALS

 - Pedestals 

6 in. (152 mm) taller or 6 in. (152 mm) shorter are 
available.

CONTINUOUS ROTATION

 - Rotation is continuous
