SPECIFICA
TIONS
The winch is hydraulically powered through a self-
locking worm gear drive, so a load-holding brake is
not required. The winch provides line speeds of 15
to 30 ft. per minute (5 to 9 m per min.). One hundred
and fi ve feet (32 m) of 7/16-in. (11 mm) diameter
polyester rope with a clevis hook is provided.
The angle of the 3 in (75 mm) diameter jib pole is
manually adjusted; the jib-pole assembly tilts in 10°
increments from horizontal to a maximum of 50°
above horizontal. Since the pole is automatically
leveled with the platform, there is a total of 150° of jib
pole articulation relative to the upper boom. The jib-
pole assembly also can be rotated to any of the seven
convenient load-lifting positions to accommodate a
load. The jib pole and winch assemblies can be
easily removed when not needed.
VST-8000/8500/9000-I -
Platform capacity is 700 lbs.
(318 kg) with the jib and winch installed. Platform
capacity is 800 lbs. with the jib and winch removed.
VST-9500-I -
Platform capacity is 500 lbs. (227 kg)
with the jib and winch installed. Platform capacity
is 600 lbs. (272 kg) with the jib and winch removed.
1000 LBS HYDRAULIC JIB AND WINCH - The
material handling jib and winch consists of a winch
and a jib pole that are automatically leveled with the
platform. This jib provides 250 to 1000 lbs. jib capacity
depending on the boom positions.
The winch is hydraulically powered through a self-
locking worm gear drive, so a load-holding brake is
not required. The winch provides line speeds of 15
to 30 ft. per minute (5 to 9 m per min.). One hundred
and fi ve feet (32 m) of 7/16-in. (11 mm) diameter
polyester rope with a clevis hook is provided.
The 4 in. (100 mm) square jib pole hydraulically
tilts with 90° of travel relative to the platform, from
horizontal to vertical. Since the pole is automatically
leveled with the platform, there is a total of 190° of jib
pole articulation relative to the upper boom. The jib
pole also hydraulically extends and retracts, providing
16 in. (400 mm) travel, from 44 in. to 60 in. (1.1 m to
1.5 m). The jib-pole assembly also can be rotated
to any of the seven convenient load-lifting positions
to accommodate a load. The jib pole and winch
assemblies can be easily removed when not needed.
VST-8000/8500/9000-I -
Platform capacity is 700 lbs.
(318 kg) with the jib and winch installed. Platform
capacity is 800 lbs. with the jib and winch removed.
VST-9500-I -
Platform capacity is 500 lbs. (227 kg)
with the jib and winch installed. Platform capacity
is 600 lbs. (272 kg) with the jib and winch removed.
ARTICULATED JIB – Jib and winch consisting of a
winch, two piece jib pole assembly, and articulating
arm. Up to 1000 lbs material handling can be provided
depending on boom and jib positions. The winch is
hydraulically powered by a self-locking worm gear
drive and is rated at 1000 lbs full drum. The winch
provides an average line speed of approximately 34
FPM (10 m/minute).
The 3” diameter round inner jib pole is dielectrically
tested and can be manually pinned in 5 diff erent
length positions, for a total of 22” length adjustment.
The 4” diameter round outer jib pole is manufactured
from FRP but is not dielectrically tested. The jib pole
assembly is automatically leveled with the platform
and can be hydraulically tilted from -10° to + 86° for
a total of 96°.
The jib pole assembly is mounted on an articulating
arm. The arm is compensated so the jib pole stays
at approximately the same angle relative to the
ground as the arm articulates. The arm travels 91°,
providing the equivalent to 17.5” horizontal jib pole
extension and 20” vertical jib pole extension. The
jib and winch assembly can be manually indexed
about a vertical axis in one of seven diff erent pin
positions. This positions the jib up to 90° to either
side of the boom, for a total travel of 180°. The jib
and winch assembly can be removed without tools
when not needed.
AUTO BOOM LATCH – The automatic boom latch is
designed to automatically latch the boom in the cradle
when stowed and automatically release the boom
when the lift is operated. The latch is actuated by a
hydraulic cylinder and includes a manual over-ride
to open the latch without hydraulic power.
PLATFORM ELEVATOR (Single Platform Only) –
Hydraulically controlled platform elevator which will
raise the platform and control panel 24” at the boom
tip. Driven by a telescoping cylinder, the platform
elevator can be raised proportionally using the same
style control valve used for all boom functions.
