Vestil Portable Work Area Gantry Crane – 1,000 & 2,000 lb, Steel or Aluminum | FPG

Shipping

• Freight shipping within the lower 48 United States only. Alaska, Hawaii, and island territories are excluded.
• Vestil products ship via LTL freight directly from the manufacturer’s facility in Angola, Indiana to your location using major U.S. freight carriers.
• Packaging varies by product: Most items ship on a pallet, banded and wrapped. Larger cranes and gantries often ship knocked down in multiple pieces and require assembly on site.
• Vestil photographs freight on the day it ships, which helps document condition if a claim is ever needed.
• You will be notified before your order ships, and tracking information will be provided once it leaves the facility.
• The carrier will contact you to schedule delivery once the shipment reaches your nearest freight terminal. After the carrier contacts you, you typically have 48 hours to accept delivery without additional charges.
• Deliveries are made Monday–Friday.
• An estimated delivery date is provided with tracking once the shipment departs, and delivery timing depends on freight transit and scheduling.

Lead Times

• Many Vestil models are stocked and ship in about 2–5 business days.
• Some models are made to order and typically ship in about 15–65 days. The product page notes when a model is made to order.
• Lead times are set by the manufacturer and can change. We will confirm the current lead time after you order and keep you updated until your order ships.

Preparing for Delivery

• Curbside delivery requires someone 18 years or older to be present at the time of delivery.
• Plan how you will unload. Many Vestil products weigh several hundred to over 1,000 lb on the pallet, so have a forklift, pallet jack or loading dock available, or let us know before your order ships if you need a liftgate.
• You will want gloves and tin snips for cutting metal straps.
• Count the pieces and inspect the packaging before signing. Document any exterior damage or missing pieces with photos and written notes on the delivery paperwork.
• If you plan to move the product into your shop on delivery day, have at least two capable people or the right equipment available to assist with unpacking and placement.
• If the product is damaged after unpacking, take photos and contact us within 24 hours at support@pitstop-pro.com.

Returns

• Return requests must be submitted within 30 days of the ship date. Returns must be authorized in advance; items sent back without authorization will be refused.
• Only standard stocked items are eligible. Made-to-order, special or custom items, and items marked non-returnable by the manufacturer cannot be returned.
• Returned items must be unused, in resalable condition, and in complete original factory packaging.
• A 20% restocking fee applies. Additional refurbishing fees may apply if the item is not in like-new condition.
• The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs.

Order Changes and Cancellations

• Contact us as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order.
• Made-to-order items may not be cancelable once production has started, and cancellation fees may apply.

Damages and Freight Claims

• If a product arrives damaged, refuse delivery for major damage or note damage on the delivery paperwork at the time of delivery and take photos.
• Report damage within 24 hours of delivery and report shortages within 5 days of delivery. Late reports may not be accepted by the carrier.
• After documenting damage with the carrier, contact us at support@pitstop-pro.com so we can help coordinate next steps and assist with the claim process as needed.

Warranty

• Defects in materials or workmanship are handled under the Vestil limited warranty, not as a return. See the Warranty section for coverage and how to submit a claim.

Exchanges

• Traditional exchanges are not offered due to the size and freight requirements of industrial products.
• A replacement or alternate item is not processed until the original product is received, inspected, and approved for return.
• Exchanges of eligible stocked items still require return shipping and a 20% restocking fee. Any price difference will be invoiced or refunded as applicable.
