How much weight can this lifter handle?
Either 600 lb or 800 lb, depending on which model you order. Vestil builds this single fork skid positioner lifter in two versions: the VHPS-NM-600-39 rated at 600 lb and the VHPS-NM-800-11 rated at 800 lb. Pick the rating that sits above the heaviest skid you handle, and never load past the capacity marked on the unit.
What is the difference between the VHPS-NM-600-39 and the VHPS-NM-800-11?
Rated capacity, and a small difference in price. The VHPS-NM-600-39 is the 600 lb version at $1,326.68, and the VHPS-NM-800-11 is the 800 lb version at $1,347.40. Both are the same Vestil single fork skid positioner lifter type, so the decision comes down to the weight of the skids you move.
What does this lifter cost?
Between $1,326.68 and $1,347.40, depending on the model. The 600 lb VHPS-NM-600-39 is $1,326.68 and the 800 lb VHPS-NM-800-11 is $1,347.40. Those are the only two configurations offered for this product, so there is no separate options list to price out before you order.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, this lifter carries a 1-Year Limited warranty from Vestil. It applies to both the 600 lb and 800 lb models. Coverage terms and any exclusions are set by Vestil, so review the manufacturer's warranty statement that ships with the unit before putting it into service if warranty details matter to your purchase.
Where is this equipment made?
In the United States, by Vestil Manufacturing. Both models, the VHPS-NM-600-39 and the VHPS-NM-800-11, are Vestil-built products. If domestic sourcing is a requirement for your facility or a procurement specification you have to meet, this line satisfies a Made in USA condition on the equipment itself.
Who is this lifter a good fit for, and who should look elsewhere?
It suits operations that reposition individual skids weighing up to the rated capacity of the model chosen. The single fork design engages one skid at a time. If your loads run heavier than the 800 lb top rating, or the load will not sit stably on a single fork, this is not the right unit and a higher-capacity or two-fork lifter is the better direction.
