Vestil LM-EBT-8-24 Economy Telescoping Lift Boom converts a compatible forklift into an overhead lifting crane, enabling reach and elevation for material handling tasks without a dedicated crane setup. This unit is fabricated from structural steel and welded to provide durability for long-term use, with an infinitely adjustable locking screw and a safety restraint that secures the boom to the forklift during operation. Two lifting hooks are included for versatile attachment of loads. The design emphasizes a balance of economical construction with functional over-head lifting capability, suitable for facilities seeking an overhead reach option without a crane installation.
The product features a telescoping boom that extends from 36 to 144 inches, offering variable lift reach for different workpieces and heights. The assembly includes robotically welded joints for consistent alignment and rigidity, and an operations and capacity sticker to convey user instructions and safety considerations at a glance. For sizing and load planning, the unit states a uniform 8,000 lb capacity, with single-hook capacities declining as the boom extends: 8,000 lb at 36 inches down to 2,200 lb at 144 inches, reflecting the typical trade-off between reach and load. The overall extended length is listed as approximately 149-3/8 inches, and the fork pockets are spaced at 24 inches with a 7-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch pocket opening, supporting installation on standard fork trucks.
This model is color-coded blue and yellow for visibility, and the package is sized per unit. Proper use requires following the included restraint and securing procedures, along with understanding the corresponding capacities at each extended length. While the data indicates OSHA reference and standard compliance notes, users should verify site-specific requirements and ensure compatibility with their forklift and lifting tasks before operation.
