Thank you for purchasing a Hand Winch Lift Truck (“winch lift,”
“A-Lift,” or simply “lifter”) made by Vestil Manufacturing Corporation
(“Vestil”). Our winch lifts are durable, high-quality products that
combine safety features and rigorous engineering. Although the
winch lift’s operation is relatively intuitive, all personnel must
familiarize themselves with the instructions provided in this manual.
Each A-lift is constructed from steel and aluminum parts, a combination of
materials that provides strength and reduces weight. The lift improves efficiency and
prevents injuries that could occur while lifting and moving materials. Use your A-Lift to
move materials like boxes and office equipment.
The design includes lifting mechanisms actuated by a manual winch with a foldable
handle. One complete, clockwise revolution of the handle raises the forks by 1 inch.
Additionally, a pivoting carriage latch can be used to secure the fork carriage in a safe
position for transport. Further product specifications appear in the following table:
