The Forklift Jib Boom: Lift Heavy Loads Over Obstacles

A forklift jib boom is one of the easiest ways to give your forklift crane-like abilities. It slides onto the forks, locks in place and lets you lift, reach and position loads with far more precision. It’s a practical tool for construction sites, yards, warehouses and manufacturing plants where materials often need to be lifted over barriers or placed at elevated points.

Key Features

Adjustable Reach
The telescopic arm can extend or retract to match your lifting needs. This makes it simple to handle loads of different sizes and shapes.

Swivel Hook and Strong Capacity
Swivel hooks allow safer and easier load positioning. Depending on the model, a jib boom can lift several tons.

Universal Fit
Slip-on fork design lets you use the jib with most forklifts. Pin it behind the fork heel, and it’s ready to work.

Internal Safety Stop
Prevents the boom from being pulled out too far, adding a level of safety during operation.

Benefits

More Versatility
Turn one forklift into a multipurpose lifting machine. A jib boom reduces the need for extra equipment and makes your forklift useful for a wider range of jobs.

Better Safety
The secure lifting point, swivel hook and adjustable reach help position loads accurately and reduce the risk of accidents. It also cuts down on manual lifting, lowering the chance of injuries.

Time and Labor Savings
Jobs that once required multiple workers or equipment can be handled more efficiently using a jib boom.

Cost-Effective
Instead of renting or purchasing additional lifting machines, you can expand the capability of the forklifts already on site.

Where It’s Used

Construction
For lifting beams, trusses, pipes and heavy construction materials to elevated or hard-to-reach spots.
