Vestil DC Powered Steel Quick Lifts

Vestil DC Powered Steel Quick Lifts | Dual AGM Battery, HDPE Platform, Height Indexing Option

The Vestil DC-Powered Steel Quick Lifts are compact, battery-powered electric lifts designed for fast, ergonomic load positioning in tight spaces. Push-button controls raise and lower an HDPE platform to the working height needed at each station. The 9" horizontal load center is rated for the specified capacity when the load's center of gravity falls within 9" of the platform face.

Power comes from dual 12V AGM batteries with a 115V AC onboard charger. Two batteries provide reliable extended run time, and the onboard charger keeps the unit ready without an external charging station. The steel frame is finished with a baked-in powder coat for durability in active facility environments. All models include poly casters for smooth mobility.

Optional upgrades are available: a detachable handheld control on a coil cord for more flexible lift/lower positioning, Programmable Height Indexing for preset working heights at repeatable stations, and custom end attachments for application-specific load handling. 

Models and Specifications:

♦ PEL-88S-D3, 23-1/2" W, 18-1/2" L HDPE platform. Service range 5-5/8" to 57". Capacity 175 lbs. Dual 12V AGM batteries, 115V onboard charger. Four poly casters (two swivel, two swivel-locking). The higher-capacity model at this platform size. Note: higher capacity than the PEL-100S-D3 despite the lower model number.

♦ PEL-100S-D3, 23-1/2" W, 18-1/2" L HDPE platform. Service range 5-5/8" to 72". Capacity 125 lbs. Dual 12V AGM batteries, 115V onboard charger. Four poly casters (two swivel, two swivel-locking). Reaches 72" maximum, the greatest height in the PEL-88/100 group. Note: lower capacity (125 lb) than the PEL-88S-D3 (175 lb) at the same platform size.

♦ PEL-400S-57-D3, 24" W, 20" L HDPE platform. Service range 6-1/2" to 57". Capacity 400 lbs. Dual 12V AGM batteries, 115V onboard charger. Rigid front wheels, swivel rear wheels with locks. The higher-capacity group handles loads up to 400 lb. Lower minimum height (6-1/2") than the smaller models.

♦ PEL-400S-72-D3, 24" W, 20" L HDPE platform. Service range 6-1/2" to 72". Capacity 400 lbs. Dual 12V AGM batteries, 115V onboard charger. Rigid front wheels, swivel rear wheels with locks. Same capacity as PEL-400S-57-D3 at a greater maximum height (72").

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Capacity group, 125-175 lb (PEL-88 and PEL-100) vs. 400 lb (PEL-400), the PEL-88 and PEL-100 models handle lighter loads up to 175 lb on a 23-1/2" x 18-1/2" platform. The PEL-400 models handle heavier loads up to 400 lb on a slightly larger 24" x 20" platform. Choose the group based on the maximum load weight.

♦ Maximum service height, 57" or 72", within each capacity group; the two models differ only in maximum height. The 57" models (PEL-88S-D3 and PEL-400S-57-D3) cover most standard workstation and mid-level shelf heights. The 72" models (PEL-100S-D3 and PEL-400S-72-D3) reach higher conveyors, elevated racks, and taller shelf positions.

♦ PEL-88 vs. PEL-100 capacity note, the PEL-88S-D3 (175 lb) has greater capacity than the PEL-100S-D3 (125 lb) at the same platform size. If a 175 lb capacity and a 57" maximum are adequate, the PEL-88S-D3 is the stronger choice. If a 72" height is required and a 125 lb capacity is sufficient, choose the PEL-100S-D3.

♦ Optional Programmable Height Indexing: If the application involves returning to the same height positions repeatedly, such as a consistent bench height or conveyor height at multiple stations, the Programmable Height Indexing option reduces setup time and operator variation. 

♦ Caster configuration, the PEL-88 and PEL-100 use four poly casters (two swivel, two swivel-locking) for omnidirectional maneuverability. The PEL-400 models use rigid front wheels and swivel rear wheels with locks for more controlled directional tracking under heavier loads.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Assembly and Kitting Workstations with Repeatable Heights, assembly and kitting operations using the same lift position repeatedly use the optional Programmable Height Indexing to preset the lift to each station's working height, eliminating manual adjustment between cycles and reducing operator-to-operator variation.

♦ Packing Station Ergonomic Positioning: packing stations where operators repeatedly access cartons, totes, and materials at a fixed working height use the PEL Quick Lift for push-button electric positioning at the correct ergonomic height, maintaining consistent posture throughout the full packing shift.

♦ Maintenance and MRO Parts Positioning, maintenance departments using the PEL-400 to position heavy components and equipment at the service height needed for repair operations use the 400 lb capacity and the rigid/swivel caster configuration for stable positioning at the work location.

♦ Multi-Station Workflows with Tight Aisles, operations moving the lift between multiple workstations in narrow aisles use the compact HDPE platform and low-profile design for easy navigation and fast positioning at each station without the footprint of a larger battery-powered stacker.
