SIGNAL WORDS
SIGNAL WORDS in this manual draw the reader’s attention to important safety-related messages.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH or SERIOUS
! DANGER INJURY. Use of this signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH or SERIOUS
! WARNING INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in MINOR or
! CAUTION MODERATE injury.
Identifies practices likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that
NOTICE might damage the product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. Material handling is dangerous and
no manual can address every conceivable risk. The end-user must exercise sound judgment at all times. Acquire a copy
of the latest version of ANSI B56.1from www.ITSDF.org. Apply all relevant portions of Part II “For the User”. The following
recommendations complement the guidance provided in B56.1.

! WARNING
Material handling is dangerous. Improper or careless operation might result in serious personal injuries.
 Always use this boom in compliance with all rules applied to fork truck attachments at your worksite.
 DO NOT use a damaged boom. Only use the boom if it is in SATISFACTORY CONDITION (see RECORD, p. 21).
Inspect the boom before each use according to the relevant INSPECTION instructions on p. 22.
 Only use this boom with a fork truck having a capacity at least equal to 125% of the boom capacity plus
the weight of the boom.
 DO NOT contact electrified wires with the boom, load, or lift truck.
 DO NOT use the boom if the safety chain is damaged or missing. The only function of the safety chain is to
prevent the boom from sliding off of the forks. DO NOT use the safety chain to lift loads. It is NOT intended or
designed to bear the full load rating of the boom.
 DO NOT lift the boom until the restraint strap is securely connected to the carriage of the fork truck.
 DO NOT attempt to lift a load weighing more than the boom’s maximum rated load. Load ratings for all
boom variants appear on pages 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, & 18. Also see LOAD TESTING on p. 21-22.
 NEVER lift this boom, or loads connected to the boom, over people.
 DO NOT permit any person to stand beneath, or travel under, the boom or the load.
 Inform everyone in the area to stay clear of the boom and the supported load during use.
 DO NOT allow people to ride on either the boom or the load.
 DO NOT use the boom if any label is damaged, missing, or not easily readable from a reasonable, safe
distance. Contact TECHNICAL SERVICE to order labels. See LABELING DIAGRAM, p. 23.
 ALWAYS apply proper (fork) lift operation practices learned during your training program.
 Always make sure that shackle pins (see shackles in applicable EXPLODED VIEW) are secure before
applying a load to the load hook. Tighten the screw pin before each use.
 Before raising the boom from the floor AND before attaching the load to the boom, tilt the fork lift mast
away from the boom to ensure that the boom will not slide towards the tips of the forks.
 ALWAYS follow the LOADING AND USING instructions that appear on p. 19-21. Failure to properly position a
load might cause a dangerous degree of load swing when the boom is elevated.
 Only use the boom to lift loads. DO NOT use the boom to drag items.
 Transport loads with the load as low as possible.
 Drive, brake, and turn slowly with suspended loads to avoid causing the load to swing.
 DO NOT modify the boom in any way. Modifications automatically void the LIMITED WARRANTY (p. 24) and
might make the boom unsafe to use.

NATIONAL STANDARDS
US OSHA Rule 1910.178 (29 CFR 1910.178; the “Rule”) classifies this boom as a (lift truck) front end attachment
whenever it is mounted on a lift truck. The Rule incorporates American National Standard ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 (the
“Standard”). The Standard is published by the Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation on its website
(www.itsdf.org) where it is freely downloadable at http://www.itsdf.org/cue/b56-standards.html. Before putting this
device into service, you must acquire a copy of the Standard. Apply all relevant parts of Part II: For the User. Lift truck
users must mark (tag or label) the truck to identify the boom, show the weight of the truck and boom combination, and
show the capacity of the truck with the boom at maximum elevation with the load laterally centered. If instructions
provided in this manual conflict with the Standard, then you should apply the instructions in the Standard. Vestil requests
that you immediately share any such conflicts with its TECHNICAL SERVICE personnel. Contact information for
TECHNICAL SERVICE appears on the cover page of this manual.

The center of gravity of the boom changes as boom length changes. As shown in the diagram below, the
horizontal center of gravity may be located at any point from RHCG to EHCG:
 Retracted horizontal center of gravity (RHCG): boom fully retracted and unloaded. RHCG is measured
from the “origin point” of the above diagram (edges of the fork pockets);
 Extended horizontal center of gravity (EHCG): boom fully extended and unloaded. EHCG is also measured
from the “origin point” of the above diagram (edges of the fork pockets);
 All other combinations of boom extension and load position produce a horizontal center of gravity located
somewhere between RHCG and EHCG.

The center of gravity of the boom changes as boom length changes. As shown in the diagram below,
the horizontal center of gravity may be located at any point from RHCG to EHCG:
 Retracted horizontal center of gravity (RHCG): boom fully retracted and unloaded. RHCG is
measured from the “origin point” of the above diagram (edges of the fork pockets);
 Extended horizontal center of gravity (EHCG): boom fully extended and unloaded. EHCG is also
measured from the “origin point” of the above diagram (edges of the fork pockets);
 All other combinations of boom extension and load position produce a horizontal center of gravity
located somewhere between RHCG and EHCG.

The center of gravity of the boom changes as boom length changes. As shown in the diagram below, the horizontal
center of gravity may be located at any point from RHCG to EHCG:
 Retracted horizontal center of gravity (RHCG): boom fully retracted and unloaded. RHCG is measured from the
“origin point” of the above diagram (edges of the fork pockets);
 Extended horizontal center of gravity (EHCG): boom fully extended and unloaded. EHCG is also measured from the
“origin point” of the above diagram (edges of the fork pockets);
 All other combinations of boom extension and load position produce a horizontal center of gravity located
somewhere between RHCG and EHCG.

LOADING AND USING THE BOOM


Review the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on p. 2 and the following additional safety instructions.
Improper use of this product might result in serious personal injuries.
 DO NOT use this boom with rough terrain lift trucks or telehandlers (boom trucks). ONLY use it with high lift
fork trucks utilizing a vertical mast and carriage.
 DO NOT mount the hopper on stackers or manually propelled lift trucks.
 DO NOT operate the truck carrying this boom on unimproved surfaces. Only operate on concrete or
asphalt surfaces.
 DO NOT attempt to lift loads weighing more than the capacity of the boom or your forklift, whichever is
smaller. Confirm that the load weighs less than the maximum rated load of your boom at the intended
attachment point. See CENTERS OF GRAVITY AND LOAD RATINGS on p. 5 see also LABELING DIAGRAM on
p. 11. Confirm that your fork lift is rated to lift the combined weight of the boom, rigging, and the load.
 Contact the manufacturer of your fork lift BEFORE using the boom and request:
1. Written approval to use the boom with your lift truck; AND
2. Markings (labels) for the lift truck that: a) Identify your LM-boom; AND b) Provide the
approximate net weight of the forklift truck and boom at the maximum fork elevation with a
laterally-centered load. See 29 CFR 1910.178(a)(5).
 DO NOT connect a load to only 1 hook, which will cause the load to rotate during lifting and transport
operations. Loads must be connected to both hooks.

1. Drive the forklift forward and insert the tines into the fork pockets. Drive as far forward as possible. Lower the
forks completely. The drawings below demonstrate this step:

2. Securely connect the boom to the carriage of the forklift with the safety chain.
Wrap the safety chain around the fork carriage and fasten the snap hook to the chain/strap. There should
be no slack in the chain/strap. The sole purpose of the safety chain is to prevent the boom from sliding off of
the forks. It is NOT intended or designed to bear the full load rating.
3. [Telescoping models only] Adjust the boom length:
a. Loosen the X-handle locking bolt (“locking bolt”), by turning it counterclockwise.
b. Grasp the adjustment handle at the end of the boom and pull the boom to the desired length.
c. Tighten the locking bolt by turning it clockwise. Turn locking bolt

Material handling is dangerous. Improper use of this product might result in serious personal
injuries.
 Confirm that the load weighs less than the maximum rated load of your boom AND that your fork lift is rated
to lift the combined weight of the boom and the load.
 Contact the manufacturer of your fork lift BEFORE using the boom. Request that the lift manufacturer provide:
1. Written approval to use the boom with your lift truck; AND
2. Markings (labels) for the lift truck that:
– Identify your LM-boom; AND
– Provide the approximate net weight of the forklift truck and boom at the maximum fork elevation
with a laterally-centered load. [29 CFR 1910.178(a)(5)].
 DO NOT use the boom until the forklift manufacturer provides adjusted maximum rated load tags for your fork
lift.
 DO NOT attempt to lift loads weighing more than the rated load of either the boom or lift truck, whichever is
smaller. Maximum rated load information appears in the tables on pages 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, & 18.
 Strictly adhere to all rules applied at your worksite regarding forklift operation, fork attachment usage, and
load rigging.
 ONLY use rigging having maximum load ratings that exceed the load weight.
 DO NOT connect a load to only 1 hook, which will cause the load to rotate during lifting and transport
operations. Loads should connect to both hooks simultaneously.

Load attached to only one hook (circled): load likely to rotate Load attached to both hooks: load rotation minimized

Table of Contents Rev. 9/25/2023 LM MANUAL

Test the stability of the load in the rigging. Raise the forks slowly to minimize load movement. Raise the forks
until the load is entirely suspended from the boom. Watch the load and boom closely for either of the
following issues: 1) Load movement in rigging; or 2) Boom sliding towards tips of forks. If you notice either
issue, immediately lower the forks and adjust the rigging. Retest the stability of the load in the rigging
 While transporting a load with the boom, the load should only be 6-8 inches above the ground. Adjust
load height to avoid obstacles along the travel path.
 DO NOT exceed approximately 1.5mph (2.4kph) while transporting a load with the boom.
 Travel ONLY on smooth, level surfaces. Turn slowly and smoothly.
 If the load is unstable while suspended, DO NOT use the boom.
4. Attach the load to the boom by connecting the load to appropriate rigging. Attach the rigging to the
end hook or to both the end hook and the stabilizing hook (see diagram below).
a. Verify that the load attachment is stable;
b. Raise the load until it is elevated no more than 6-8 inches above the ground (entirely suspended from
the boom).
c. Slowly transport the load to the desired unloading location;
d. Slowly lower the load until it is entirely supported by the ground and there is slack in all rigging.
e. Disconnect the rigging from the hooks;
f. Adjust the fork position until no more than 6-8 inches above the ground;
g. Return the boom to its storage location.
NOTE: Return OBT and OBNT model booms to the fully lowered (horizontal) position by reversing

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION


Record the condition of the lifting boom before putting it into service. Measure the length and width of the
shackle of both hooks. Include a width measurement of the mouth of the shackle, i.e. the area that receives
the shackle pin. Record your measurements. Measure the mouth of both hooks and record the measurements.
Thoroughly photograph the unit from multiple angles. Include close range photos of all labeling, the shackles
and shackle pins, the fork pockets/tubes, safety chain and its snap hook and cold shut, support leg, and welds.
Collate all photographs and writings into a single file. Mark the file appropriately to identify it. The file provides a
record of the device in satisfactory condition. Compare the results of all INSPECTIONS (p. 22) to this RECORD to
determine whether the unit is in satisfactory condition. If the boom is not in satisfactory condition, repair it
before returning it to service. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint/powdercoat, do not constitute
changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied to all affected areas as soon
as cosmetic damage occurs to prevent rusting and corrosion. If left unaddressed, rusting/corrosion will alter the
device from satisfactory condition and could make it unsafe to use.

LOAD TESTS
After creating a RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION and before using the boom for the first time, a
qualified person should conduct a load test. The test load should be 125% of the rated load (capacity) of the
lifter. For instance, if the rated load (capacity) is 1,000 lb. (454.5kg) the test load should be 1,250 pounds
(568.2kg). Raise the load off of the ground until it is entirely suspended from the boom. Leave the load
suspended for a few minutes. Return it to the ground and unload it. Perform a Monthly Inspection as described
in the INSPECTIONS section (p. 22). The boom should undergo load testing immediately after it is repaired,
modified, or altered. Never modify or alter the boom without first receiving written approval from Vestil.
NOTE: If your boom is used with a lift truck whose capacity is less than 125% of the rated load of your boom PLUS
the weight of the boom, then load testing as described above should not be performed. Instead, the boom
must be rerated (capacity reduced) and be tested with an appropriate load weight for your lift truck. The
boom must also be relabeled to reflect the rerated capacity. Mark/label the truck to identify the boom, show

Table of Contents Copyright 2020 Vestil Manufacturing Co. Page 21 of 25


Table of Contents Rev. 9/25/2023 LM MANUAL

the weight of the truck and boom combination, and show the capacity of the truck with the boom at
maximum elevation with the load laterally centered. Use the LOAD TEST RECORD page at the end of this
manual to record the weight used to load test your boom based on the rerated capacity.

INSPECTIONS
Inspections and repairs should only be performed by qualified persons. Compare the results of each
inspection to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (the “RECORD”). Do not use the boom unless all parts
are in satisfactory condition. Replace parts that are not in satisfactory condition before using the boom again.
DON’T GUESS! If you have any questions about the condition of your boom, contact the TECHNICAL SERVICE
department. The phone number is provided on the cover page of this manual. Never make temporary repairs
of damaged or missing parts. Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts. Replace the entire unit if it
cannot be restored to satisfactory condition.
WARNING
Immobilize the boom before conducting inspections and performing maintenance. If an inspection reveals
problems, restore the boom to satisfactory condition BEFORE using it again. DO NOT use a boom that is structurally
damaged in any way. Structural damage includes, but is not limited to, cracked welds, warping or deformation
of the fork pockets, support leg, frame members, boom, or boom sleeve.
1. Before each use — Visually examine the boom for cracks, severe rusting/corrosion, damaged hooks and/or
shackles, and damaged support leg.
2. Monthly inspection — At least once per month, and before using the boom for the first time, inspect the
following components for conditions that might interfere with normal operation.
Frame and fork pockets — Fork pockets should be square and solid. Each pocket should be rigidly welded to
the frame. Look for significant wear, damage, or indications of metal fatigue to any portion of the fork
pockets, support frame, boom, or boom sleeve.
Boom — Check all welds. The boom should be straight and undamaged, i.e. no cracks, punctures, warps, etc.
Telescoping models should slide without binding inside the receiver/sleeve.
Safety chain — All links of the chain should be intact and of equal dimensions. Chains should be securely
attached to the frame by means of a lap link. The snap hook at the end of the chain should close completely
and automatically.
Hooks and shackles — Examine the end hook & the stabilizing hook. Record a measurement of the throat
opening of each hook. Compare the measurements with those taken during the very first inspection. Replace
a hook if its throat opening is more than 15 percent wider than the original throat opening measurement, or if
the hook is twisted more than 10° from the plane of the unbent hook. Discard damaged hooks. The latch of
the end hook should close automatically. Shackles should be securely attached to the underside of the boom.
Examine all pins that attach shackles to the boom for cracks and warps.
Locking bolt (telescoping models) — Confirm the locking bolt can solidly engage the top of the boom.
Support leg — Inspect the support leg. It should be straight, undamaged (no cracks or deformations), and
securely attached to the underside of the boom.
Labeling — The product should always be labeled as shown in the LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 23. Replace any
label that is damaged, significantly faded, or not easily readable from a reasonable distance.
3. Annual Lift Test – At least once per year, perform a LOAD TEST (p. 21) of the boom. Afterwards, conduct a
MONTHLY INSPECTION. Confirm SATISFACTORY CONDITION before returning it to service.

MAINTENANCE
Implement a maintenance program to ensure that the boom remains in normal operating condition. The
following steps should be utilized in conjunction with maintenance procedures applicable to fork truck
attachments provided in the most recent edition of ANSI B56.1.
Step 1: Tag the boom, “Out of Service.”
Step 2: Remove dirt and other matter from all surfaces.
Step 3: Conduct a Monthly inspection. If severe deformities, corrosion, rusting, or excessive wear of structural
members is found, DO NOT use the product.
Step 4: Perform all necessary adjustments, replacements and/or repairs but DO NOT modify the boom.
! WARNING
DO NOT return the boom to service until all necessary adjustments and repairs are complete! An adjustment is a
simple correction that restores the boom to SATISFACTORY CONDITION, such as tightening loose fasteners or
removing debris from surfaces. Repair means removal of worn parts and installation of replacement parts. NEVER
modify (alter) the boom, e.g. bend a structural member or remove a part or parts.
Step 5: Make a dated record of all repairs, adjustments, and replacements performed.
