The Vestil VESS-CB-118 Counter Balanced Powered Lift is a versatile material-handling solution designed to move pallets and loads with minimal effort in industrial settings. This fully powered pallet truck combines a 24V drive system and a 24V lift motor to provide controlled forward and reverse movement, plus vertical reach to handle duties like die loading, machine feeding, and loading/unloading trucks. The unit features an ergonomic handle with fingertip raise and lower controls, an adjustable throttle for smooth speed selection, and a safety-oriented emergency reverse function that enhances operator protection by reversing direction away from the operator when engaged. An electromagnetic disc brake with an automatic dead-man function helps ensure stopping authority when the operator releases the handle, contributing to safer operation in dynamic loading environments. The lift is battery-powered, employing deep-cycle lead-acid batteries with an integral charger and a battery level gauge for easy maintenance and predictable uptime.
Construction and key attributes focus on practicality and serviceability. The chassis combines steel construction with distinctive black and yellow coloration for visibility in busy workplaces. Forks are adjustable to accommodate different pallet widths, ranging from 6-3/8 inches to 23-5/8 inches, while the fork length is 30 inches and the lowered height is 2 inches. Lift height reaches 118 inches, enabling elevated placement and access when stacking or loading at height. The unit relies on two batteries and has a general operating life suitable for 3–4 hours of continuous use at full charge, or up to 8 hours when used intermittently. This balance of power, reach, and maneuverability makes the lift appropriate for applications that require both pallet movement and lift operations in confined spaces.
Operators should consider compatibility with pallet sizes and the need for routine battery maintenance. The forks’ adjustable width and the accessible battery compartment facilitate setup and daily upkeep. When planning use, account for the maximum in-line load capacities at varying fork positions—1,000 lb at 0–62 inches of lift and 500 lb at 62–118 inches—to ensure safe handling in your specific workflow.
