The Vestil EPFC-25 is a versatile and powerful electric floor crane designed for heavy-duty lifting and transporting tasks in various industrial and commercial settings. With a lifting capacity of 2,500 lbs, it can effortlessly handle bulky items, machinery, and other heavy loads. Its compact size and maneuverability make it ideal for use in confined spaces or congested work areas. The crane features a sturdy construction, adjustable boom, and precision hydraulic controls for smooth and controlled lifting operations.

Welcome to use our Floor crane. WCF series of floor crane is designed with fixed legs with adjustable

length, WCE is designed with adjustable width straddle legs and WCR is designed with none leg with counter

balance weight. It is developed for used in workshop, maintenance and logistic area. Working in workshop,

you could use it to pick up and reposition of heave pieces of work, machine tools, chucks, steel bar/plate etc.

items be moved into and placed onto a bench or inside of a machine even it is flushed with the floor or the top

cover. It is designed with removable third booms, which could be replaced with some other special function of

tools, such as drum rotator, double/four hooks arm and so forth. Special tools are available upon request.

The compact designed of crane is ergonomically being used in the tightest of spaces. Full power design is friendly

for operator to use for lifting, extending and driving. The integreted hydraulic system provides safety velocity

fuse, adjustable flow control and compensated flow control valve, overlord relief valve and so forth. The driving

system provide all the safety features from a standard walkie trucks, such as speed control, emergency stop and

magnetic brake and so forth. Just a button, you can lift and move everything to everywhere you need.

NOTE: All of the information reported herein is based on data available at the moment of printing. We reserve the

right to modify its own products at any moment without notice and incurring in any sanction. So, it is suggested to

always verify possible updates.

1.1 Read and understand Operator’s Manual before using the truck.

1.2 Do not operate this truck unless you are trained and authorized.

1.3 Do not overload this truck. Check capacity plate for loading weight and lifting height

1.4 Operate truck only from designated operating load position. Never place any part of your body under the

truck or near moving parts. Do not ride or carry passengers.

1.5 Before leaving the truck, remember fully low down lifting mechanism, and set parking brake by making sure

handle is in vertical position and turn off power with switch key.

1.6 Travel slowly and with caution on slopes. Always travel with load end down grades.

1.7 The drive system of this crane could be only used for long distance when it is without load. It is not allow for

transporting with load. When it is with load the drive system only be used for changing direction and

moving of the crane when it is in smooth area & in safety condition. When moving the crane with load, the

boom should be fully retracted, otherwise any wrong operation may cause a series damage of equipment

and injured of the person.

2.1 Make sure that the battery cable connector is fully engaged into the battery compartment of the truck.

2.2 Check if there is full of battery supply.

2.3 Check if the truck is working properly. Give special attention to horn, speed controller and steering system.

2.4 Observe the condition of the truck for any other malfunction or defect.

2.5 Before leaving the unit, stop the unit and turn off power.

3.1 TO RAISE AND LOWER There are two buttons located on the right side of the handle. One is for raising the

hook. The other one is for lowering the hook. Make sure that there is no one standing near the truck or the

load when raising or lowering.

3.2 TO TRAVEL The butterfly switch controls the direction and speed of the lift truck. Rotate the butterfly controls

located on the upper part of the handle. Rotate the butterfly control CW towards the forks, the truck towards

in the forks first direction. The speed of the truck is controlled by the degree of rotation in either direction.

3.3 TO BRAKE This truck is equipped with a brake that is applied between 10~15 degrees of the vertical position

and between 85~90 degrees of the lower position in the vertical operating of the handle. The brake can be

operated at any point in the lateral operating of the handle. When you release your hand from the handle, it

will resume the neutral position automatically, as the brake in work. Always make sure that the brake is in

work before operating the truck. When packed, always put the handle in the full vertical position with the

brake applied and forks lowered.

3.4 DIRECTIONAL REVERSING SAFETY BUTTON At the top of the handle, red reversing button that is

designed to protect the operator from injury. If the top of the handle comes in touch with the operator’s body

during operation, the truck will automatically reverse direction and travel away from the operator. Then

immediately release your hands off the butterfly control and put the handle up and brake on. The safety

reversing button is spring-loaded, so it automatically resumes its original position after being activated.

3.5 HORN A horn is located on the front side of the handle.

3.6 KEY LOCK Before operating the truck, turn on the electric power first. The key lock is located on the battery

pack cover.

If the truck fails any of these tests, do not operate this truck until the problem is resolved

4.1 Read and understand Operator’s Manual before using the truck.

4.2 Make sure that the battery cable connector is fully engaged into the battery compartment of the truck.

4.3 Make sure there has not any leakage of oil from previous use.

4.4 Turn the key switch on and check the battery meter to ensure if there is full of battery supply.

4.5 Check that the raising and lowering of the forks are working properly. Give special attention to horn, speed

controller and steering system.

4.6 Check the service brake operation by raising the handle to the vertical position and lowering it to the lowered

position to see that it fully stops the truck in either position.

4.7 Observe the condition of the truck for any other malfunction or defect.

The batteries and battery charger are packed inside the battery pack. Follow the operating procedures to charge

battery:

5.1 Turn switch key CCW to turn off the power supply.

5.2 Disconnect the battery cable connector from compartment of the truck and then fully engaged it to the

compartment of the battery charger.

5.3 Before connecting the battery charger to the local power supply, check and insure that the voltage of both is

the same.

5.4 Connect the AC extension cord from the charger into the outlet of local power supply. This will automatically

turn the charger on, and it will run at a rate commensurate with the requirements of the batteries. The charger

will automatically control the charging procedure and when the batteries are fully charged, the charger will

only supply enough current to maintain batteries charge.

5.5 When the charging cycle is completed, disconnect the AC plug from the truck outlet and the power supply.

5.6 Remove the battery connector from charger and fully engaged it to the drive plug.

6.1 Only trained and authorized personnel should be permitted to maintain, repair, and inspect the unit.

6.2 Keep usage area cry, clean, and well ventilated.

6.3 To avoid fire hazards, have fire protection equipment present at all times during any maintenance or repair.

Do not use open pans or containers of flammable cleaning fluids.

6.4 Safety devices shall be inspected at regular intervals and maintained to a safe operating condition.

6.5 Electrical components shall be maintained and inspected for safe operation. Condition of electrical insulation

is very important.

6.6 Battery electrolyte level should be checked before charging the battery. The level should be maintained at

1/2 inch above the plates. If the level is low, and either approved local supplier or water at the end of charging.

Do not overfill. It is not necessary to charge the battery every day if there are more than 1/3 left, however the

battery should be charged at least once a week.

6.7 Disconnect batteries before working with the electrical system.

6.8 When checking the hydraulic fluid level, make certain that the unit is fully lowered and on a level floor.

Remove the filler cap and check the level of the fluid. Use a top quality hydraulic fluid. Do not use hydraulic

brake fluid.

6.9 Before leaving the unit, stop the unit, lower forks fully and turn off power and remove key.

6.10 Before working on the unit, lower forks fully, check that brake is working properly and turn off power and

restrain unit using chocks or other restraining devices.
