USSI Conducts Aerial Lift Training for Scientel Solutions
Utility Sales & Service Inc. (USSI) recently conducted comprehensive in-field aerial lift operator training for new technicians at Scientel Solutions, highlighting our commitment to not just providing equipment, but ensuring crews can operate it safely and effectively.
Specialized Equipment Training
The training session focused on the Versalift SST40-EIH mounted on a Dodge 5500 chassis – a powerful combination designed for reliable performance in challenging Midwest conditions. This versatile unit provides exceptional reach and stability, making it ideal for telecommunications work and utility applications.
Our certified trainers worked directly with Scientel’s team to cover:
- Safety protocols and pre-operation inspections
- Proper outrigger setup and stability requirements
- Basket operation and aerial maneuvering techniques
- Emergency procedures and descent methods
- Basic troubleshooting and daily maintenance checks
“Proper training is as important as the equipment itself. We ensure every operator understands not just how to use the equipment, but how to recognize potential issues before they become safety hazards.”
Tony Thomas, Territory Sales Manager, USSI, Inc.
