:
Thank you for purchasing a fork-mounted Lift Master boom (“boom”, “product” or simply “LM”) made by Vestil
Manufacturing Corporation (“Vestil”). Our booms are durable, high-quality products that combine safety-
conscious design features and rigorous engineering. Although operation and use procedures are relatively
intuitive, all persons who might use or operate of this product must familiarize themselves with the instructions
provided in this manual
.
Standard design features include: 2 fork pockets that receive the tines (forks) of a fork truck; 2 load attachment
points (hooks); and either a safety chain or safety strap to wrap around the fork carriage and prevent the boom
from sliding off of the forks during use. Dimensions of offered models, as well as other product specifications
appear in the following table:

use the product properly. Employees and any other person, who might foreseeably assemble, use,
repair, or perform maintenance on the boom must read and understand every instruction BEFOREHAND.
Boom operators should have access to the manual at all times and should review the directions before each
