Forklift Extending Jib

Like the Fork Mounted Jib, the extending version allows the movement of long and awkward loads from inaccessible locations with up to 9 different lifting positions and with the added benefit of two hooks and shackles so as to ‘cradle’ your load. When reach is less important, but maximum lifting capacity is critical, then you may want to take a look at our Forklift Mounted Jib, which has 4 different lifting centres. 

Standard Features 

• Multi hook positioning from 1000-3000 load centres
• Supplied complete with 2 No swivel hooks and bow shackles 
• Maximum fork section 150 x 50 mm at 435 mm centres
• Zinc plated heel pins for safe attachment to truck
• Painted bright orange for safety

When you are looking to purchase forklift attachments then make sure you are comparing like-for-like products. We only supply UK manufactured quality forklift attachments. Whilst there are many cheap imitations that are imported from abroad, we think it is important to buy quality, especially with the health and safety risks that come with handling and moving materials using forklift attachments. We also recommend UK manufactured goods because we know they will stand the test of time. They are much more durable and longer lasting then their imported competitors, meaning that you save money in the medium to longer term by buying British. 

Operation

1. Position the forks to the correct distance apart to locate into fork pockets. 
2. Remove the heel pins from the attachment. 
3. Drive the forks into the fork pockets. 
4. Insert fork pocket heel pins directly behind the heel of the fork and attach safety lynch pin into hole provided. 
5. Position each swivel hook and shackle to the desired lifting point, ensuring that each shackle is adequately tightened. 
6. To extend or retract the extending boom remove the ‘T’ bar locating pin and pull/push on the handle located on the end of the boom until the hole in the extending boom aligns with the hole in the fixed beam and replace the ‘T’ bar pin. 
7. The attachment is now ready for use.
