The Vestil WL-100-5-48 is a steel, premium scissor dock lift designed to bridge semi-trailers when a permanent loading dock isn’t available. With a 5,000 lb capacity and a 4 ft by 8 ft platform, this unit provides a stable, raised loading surface to facilitate safe and efficient transfer of goods between trailer floor and dock height. Its heavy-gauge, diamond-plate deck contributes to a non-slip surface under typical loading conditions, while the integrated safety features support controlled operation during elevation and descent.
The lift incorporates safety-focused construction elements, including safety velocity fuses to protect hydraulic cylinders in the event of line breakage, an upper travel limit switch that cuts power at maximum raised height, and a coil-cord push-button control for convenient, remote operation. The system ships with high-visibility yellow removable handrails (with fixed toe boards), beveled toe-guards, and electric toe-guards around the perimeter to help prevent accidental contact with moving components. A pre-wired control box with magnetic starter and overload relay simplifies electrical setup, and the external 6.5 HP, 460V, 3-phase motor can be installed up to 8 feet away from the lift, enabling flexible layout in facilities with space constraints.
Intended use covers loading and unloading scenarios where a permanent dock is absent, providing a practical, elevated platforms for dock-side material handling. Practical considerations include ensuring proper electrical supply for the three-phase motor, verifying structural clearance around the work area, and adhering to safe operating practices during lift operation. The unit’s overall frame width is 41 inches, and the package is sold as each unit, allowing straightforward stocking and installation planning for fleet or facility needs.
