Fork-mounted extending jibs that turn any forklift or telehandler into a crane. Ideal for loading machinery, placing materials at height and handling awkward loads where standard forks will not reach. Fixed, extending and height-adjustable models from Invicta and Eichinger; for simpler lifts, a fork mounted hook may be enough.
A jib slots onto standard fork tines and gives a hook for suspended loads, with no permanent modification to the truck. Fixed jibs are simple and rigid; extending and adjustable jibs trade some capacity for reach and angle.
The further out the hook, the less both the jib and the truck can safely carry. Work from the derated capacity for the extension you will actually use, and remember the truck itself is derated by the attachment.
No. Jibs slot onto standard fork tines and are secured with a retaining pin or chain. No permanent modification is required.
Extending moves the load further from the mast, reducing what both the jib and the truck can carry. Use the derated figures for the extension in use.
