The Vestil LM-OBT-6-24 Orbit Telescoping Lift Boom is designed to convert a forklift into a controlled overhead lifting solution. This 6,000 lb capacity unit features a telescoping boom that extends from 36 to 144 inches, enabling vertical reach and variable hook height for material handling tasks that require precision and reach. With its orbit boom design and robotically welded construction from structural steel, the assembly emphasizes durability and consistent performance in demanding environments. A locking detent and a safety restraint secure the boom to the forklift, and two lifting hooks are included to support lifting operations while keeping handling straightforward and organized.
The unit’s construction includes fork pockets sized to accept standard forks, along with a safety strap to attach and secure the boom to the fork truck. The design presents a minimal retracted hook height for quick attachment and a higher extended hook height to accommodate tall loads, with a maximum rotation of 37 degrees to help position loads precisely. The overall package emphasizes clear operator guidance through an operations and capacity sticker, which captures essential usage limits and safety considerations. The color scheme combines blue and yellow, and the components are fabricated to meet recognizable industry welding standards.
This lift boom is appropriate for use in material handling applications where overhead lifting from a forklift is needed. Consider load weight at various extension points, as single-hook capacities decline with increased reach (for example, 6,000 lb at 36" down to 2,300 lb at 120"). Ensure fork pockets and truck compatibility meet the specified dimensions: 24" fork pocket center, 7-1/4" x 2-1/4" pocket width, and a 36" restraint length. Proper maintenance and engagement of the restraint and detent contribute to safe operation during lifting tasks.
