Vestil WL-100-5-88 is a heavy-duty truck scissor dock lift designed to bridge the gap between ground level and the bed of a semi-trailer, enabling safer and more efficient loading and unloading when a permanent dock is unavailable. With an 8 ft by 8 ft platform and a 5,000 lb uniform load capacity, this lift supports typical palletized shipments and other common material-handling tasks in dock environments. The unit’s steel diamond-plate deck provides a durable, non-slip surface to reduce the risk of slips during transfer operations. The design incorporates safety features such as safety-velocity fuses within the hydraulic system and an upper travel limit switch that automatically cuts power at the maximum raised height, helping to prevent overextension and potential equipment damage.
Constructed for reliability, the lift includes high-visibility yellow removable handrails with fixed toe boards, beveled toe-guards and electric toe-guards around the platform perimeter, and a pre-wired control system with a 20-foot coil cord and a magnetic starter/overload relay in the control box. The standard external 6.5 HP 460V, 3-phase, 60 Hz motor can be positioned up to 8 feet away from the lift, offering flexibility in installation and operation within varied dock configurations. This combination of components emphasizes operator safety and straightforward maintenance in busy loading bays.
Because this model is intended for semi-trailer loading scenarios, it is particularly well-suited to facilities without permanent loading docks or with temporary loading zones. Its 86-inch overall frame width and 8-foot platform length contribute to a stable footprint suitable for typical dock edge locations. When considering use, verify that electrical supply and space accommodate the motor location, control wiring, and clearances required for safe travel and operation of the scissor lift. Appropriate periodic inspection of hydraulic components and safety devices is advisable to maintain reliable performance.
