Vestil Hand Winch Lift Trucks

Manual Hand Winch Lift Trucks for Material Handling and Elevated Positioning Manual hand winch lift trucks provide a lightweight and portable solution for lifting, positioning, and transporting materials in warehouses, offices, maintenance departments, retail facilities, and industrial work areas. Designed for applications where powered lifting equipment may be impractical, these compact material lifts simplify handling tasks such as stocking shelves, moving office equipment, and installing wall or ceiling-mounted components. Applications & Configurations Available in fixed straddle, adjustable straddle, and counterbalance styles, these portable lift trucks support a wide range of material handling applications with multiple lifting heights and capacities.

Optional deck platforms, retractable ladders, and pneumatic wheel upgrades increase versatility for maintenance operations, stock handling, appliance installation, and facility support tasks. Compact lift trucks are designed to lift material to and from shelves, move office equipment, and install ceiling/wall appliances. Constructed of durable steel-and-aluminum.

The rugged 4" wide by 1-3/4" thick steel forks measure 22" long (20-1/2." O.D.). Operated by a hand-crank winch that features a reversible handle and a hold-down device for securing the carriage during transport. Forks raise 1" per complete hand crank rotation.

The non-adjustable forks can be inverted to provide different height ranges. Two 8" non-marking rear wheels, two 2" front swivel casters. Counter balanced design has poly-on-poly wheels, (2) 5" rear swivel wheels, (2) 4" front wheels.

Models ending with 'HP' and 'EHP' suffixes have extended height capabilities. These units have a 2 stage mast system and a telescoping inner mast frame, giving the user the ability to extend the forks above the height of the first mast. Optional aluminum ladder can be retrofitted or ordered with A-LIFT.

FAQ about this model

What load capacities do these hand winch lift trucks come in?

Vestil offers this lift truck series in 350 lb, 400 lb, and 500 lb capacities, depending on the base style and model. For example, the fixed straddle truck (A-LIFT-R-HP) is rated for 400 lb, while the fixed straddle A-LIFT-R holds 500 lb. Check the model number against the capacity you need before ordering.

What's the difference between the fixed straddle, adjustable straddle, and counterbalance models?

These describe the base configuration. Fixed straddle models (A-LIFT-R, A-LIFT-R-HP) have a set leg width, adjustable straddle models (A-LIFT-S, A-LIFT-S-EHP, A-LIFT-S-HP) let you widen or narrow the legs, and counterbalance models (A-LIFT-CB, A-LIFT-CB-EHP, A-LIFT-CB-HP) use a rear weight instead of straddle legs for stability.

Are there add-on accessories for these lift trucks?

Yes. Vestil sells a deck platform option (A-LIFT-DK, $145.48) and two ladder options (A-LIFT-LAD, $429.00, and A-LIFT-EHP-LAD, $445.37) that attach to the lift truck for platform or step access. These are separate line items from the base truck models.

How are these lift trucks raised and lowered?

They use a hand winch mechanism, which is a manually operated crank-and-cable system rather than hydraulic or powered lift. This makes them suited for facilities without compressed air or electrical hookups at the point of use, though it means lifting speed depends on manual cranking.

What's the price range across the full lineup, and where does this listed model fall?

Across all 11 available models, pricing runs from $145.48 for the deck platform accessory up to $2,036.43 for the 400 lb counterbalance model (A-LIFT-CB-HP). The base lift truck shown on this page starts from $1,336.12 for the 400 lb fixed straddle model (A-LIFT-R-HP).

What warranty comes with these lift trucks?

Vestil backs this product line with a 1-Year Limited warranty. They are manufactured in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing. For warranty terms specific to your model or use case, confirm details before purchase since coverage specifics beyond the duration are not listed here.
