Thank you for purchasing a Fork Truck Mounted Trash Can
Dumper (“cart dumper” or simply “dumper”) made by Vestil
Manufacturing Corporation (“Vestil”). Our dumpers are durable,
high-quality products that combine safety features and rigorous
engineering. Despite the dumper’s relatively simple mechanisms,
all personnel must familiarize themselves with the safe operation
instructions provided in this manual.
The FM-T saves time and reduces injuries related to lifting and emptying
heavy waste containers. Our design incorporates a safety chain to prevent
accidental detachment and a release cable that allows an operator to remotely
dump the contents of a trash bin (also called a “cart”, as defined in ANSI Z245.1-
2008) without having to dismount the fork truck. Each dumper is constructed
from steel and is protected by a powder coat finish. Additional product
specifications appear in the following table:

Vestil Manufacturing Corp. created this manual to acquaint owners and
users of our cart dumpers with safe use and maintenance procedures.
Employers are responsible for instructing employees to use the product
properly. Employees and any other persons, who might foreseeably use,
install, or perform maintenance on the dumper, must read and understand
every instruction before using it. Furthermore, persons who use the cart
dumper should have access to the manual at all times, and in particular
should consult the directions before each use. Contact Vestil for answers to
any question you have after reading the entire manual.
Although we strive to identify the foreseeable hazardous situations that
could arise during use, this manual cannot address every conceivable danger.
The end-user is ultimately responsible for exercising sound judgment at all times.
