SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, no
manual can address every conceivable risk. The most effective way to avoid injury is to exercise sound
judgment when assembling, using, inspecting, and maintaining this crane.
WARNING
Risks of serious personal injuries or death.
•Read this manual in its entirety before assembling, using, inspecting or servicing the product. Read the
manual to refresh your understanding of use, inspection, and maintenance procedures as necessary. A
copy of this manual should always be available to all persons who assemble, use, inspect and/or
maintain this device.
•DO NOT use the product if any unusual noise or movement is observed.
•ONLY use/install this rack on even, level surfaces. DO NOT use the rack UNLESS it is securely anchored
to a concrete surface capable of supporting the combined weight of the rack (~120lb.; 54.5kg) and a
full capacity load (2,000lb; 909kg).
•Inspect & maintain the rack as instructed in the INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE section on p. 5. Do not
use the rack unless it is in SATISFACTORY CONDITION. See RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION, p. 5.
ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
•DO NOT remove or obscure any label. Before using the rack, confirm that all labels are in place and
easily readable. See LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 7.
•DO NOT climb on the rack.
•DO NOT apply loads weighing more than the capacity of this rack. The overall capacity of the rack is
2,000 pounds (909 kg). The capacity of each level (pair of rack arms) is 500 pounds (227kg). Do not
apply more than 500 pounds to any pair of rack arms. Load the rack from the lowest level up. Center
loads on the arm pairs. Loads should not overhang the arms by more than 12” (30cm).
•DO NOT pull or drag a loaded rack. Completely unload the rack before moving it.
•DO NOT modify the rack in any way. Modifying the rack automatically voids the LIMITED WARRANTY
(on p. 6) and might make the rack unsafe to use.
INSTALLING THE RACK
Install the rack indoors on a level, even improved surface capable of supporting the combined weight of
the rack (~120lb.; 54.5kg) and a full capacity load. The capacity of each arm pair is 500 pounds (227kg). Do
not apply more than 2,000 pounds (909kg) overall to the rack. There are 4 bolt holes in the base frame of
the rack for anchor bolts. Bolt hole location is diagrammed in ASSEMBLING THE RACK. Attach the rack to the
floor with 1/2” anchor bolts that are at least 4” long.
ASSEMBLING THE RACK
Insert the formed arms (31-014-510) into the arm receivers of the rack frame (31-514-355). Arm notches
must face upwardly when installing the arms. The notch of each arm receives the rear wall of the inclined
support. Insert an arm into the same receiver of each inclined support.

LOADING THE RACK
Install a pair of rack arms in the lowest arm receivers. Install the remaining arms where appropriate for
your application. Load material onto rack arm pairs from the bottom up, i.e. load the lowest pair first. Apply
loads as close to the inclined supports as possible.
RECORD OF SATISFATORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
Before putting the rack into service, record its appearance. Thoroughly photograph the unit so that all
features are clearly visible. Take close range photographs of each label and/or tag applied to the unit, the
rack arms and arm receivers, and all anchoring hardware. Collect the photographs in a file. The file is a
record of the unit in satisfactory condition. Do not use the rack unless all parts are in satisfactory condition.
INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE
Compare the results of each inspection to the RECORD to determine whether all parts of the rack are in
satisfactory condition. DO NOT use the rack unless all parts are in satisfactory condition. Only use
manufacturer-approved replacement parts to restore the product to satisfactory condition. Never make
temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts. DON’T GUESS! If you have any questions about the
condition of your unit, contact the TECHNICAL SERVICE department. The phone number is provided on the
cover page of this manual. Purely cosmetic changes, such as chipped paint, are not changes from
satisfactory condition. However, unprotected steel rusts so touchup paint should be applied to all areas
where the finish is damaged as soon as the damage occurs. Left unaddressed, rusting could compromise
the soundness of the metal and create a safety hazard.
Unload the rack and inspect the following at least 1 time per month:
1) Rack arms: Remove each arm and its notch and inspect for bends, cracks, warps, rust/corrosion, and
other forms of damage.
2) Frame: Closely examine all frame elements, arm receivers, and welds for rust, breaks, cracks, and other
damage.
3) Anchor Bolts: Look for significant rusting/corrosion, damaged paint, and other damage around anchor
bolts. Make sure that each bolt is solidly attached to the floor.
4) Labels: Confirm that each label is in place, undamaged, and easily readable.
Maintain the rack by replacing components that are not in satisfactory condition.
LABELING DIAGRAM
Label content and location are subject to change so your product might not be labeled exactly as
shown. Compare the diagram below to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION. If differences
between applied labeling and this diagram exist, contact TECHNICAL SERVICE. Replace all labels that are
damaged, missing, or not easily readable (e.g. faded). To order replacement labels, or to inquire whether
your unit is properly labeled, contact the TECHNICAL SERVICE AND PARTS DEPARTMENT online at
http://www.vestilmfg.com/parts_info.htm or by calling [phone] and asking for the Parts
Department.
