The Invicta Fork Mounted Height Adjustable Extending Jib (Model IAEJ) combines a standard incline fixed jib with angular lifts, allowing tall and awkward loads to be lifted by increasing the forklift or telehandler's lift height. The extending boom offers up to 13 lifting positions from 950mm to 3850mm load centres, with four angle settings at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, across five capacities from 1000kg to 5000kg. Manufactured in-house by Invicta Forks & Attachments in Leeds and supplied with zinc plated heel pins.

More About This Product
The Invicta Fork Mounted Height Adjustable Extending Jib (Model IAEJ) combines the characteristics of a standard incline fixed jib with the additional benefit of angular lifts. This allows tall and awkward loads to be lifted by increasing the lift height of the forklift truck or telehandler. The extending boom provides up to 13 different lifting positions from 950mm to 3850mm load centres, whilst the height adjustment mechanism offers four angle settings at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°. Available in five capacities from 1000kg to 5000kg, the IAEJ is built to handle the most demanding lifting tasks on site. Manufactured in-house by Invicta Forks & Attachments in Leeds, the UK's largest mechanical forklift attachment manufacturer, and supplied with zinc plated heel pins for safe attachment to your forklift truck.
Suitable Applications
The IAEJ is suited to construction sites, warehouses and industrial yards where tall or awkward loads need to be lifted at height or at an angle. Typical uses include lifting HVAC units, steel beams, cladding panels, roofing materials and mechanical plant to upper floors or rooftops using a forklift or telehandler. The angular lift capability makes it particularly useful for placing loads over obstacles or into confined overhead spaces.
A jib suspends the load, which makes the work a lifting operation with the examination and planning that follows. Where the load can be carried on the tines instead, fork extensions or brick forks avoid that entirely.
How to Use the Fork Mounted Height Adjustable Extending Jib
- Position the forks to the correct distance apart to locate into fork pockets.
- Remove the heel pin(s) from the attachment.
- Drive the forks into the fork pockets.
- Insert fork pocket heel pins directly behind the heel of the fork and attach safety lynch pin into hole provided.
- Position each swivel hook and shackle to the desired lifting point, ensuring that each shackle is adequately tightened.
- To extend or retract the extending boom, remove the beam locating pin and pull/push the handle until the holes align, then replace the locating pin.
- To adjust the lift angle, remove the Height Angular Pin and Lynch Pin, lift the extension beam to the desired angle (0°, 15°, 30° or 45°), align the holes and replace the pin.
Warning:
The forklift mast must remain vertical at all times. Do not exceed the safe working load at each lifting point. Do not shock load the attachment under any circumstances.
Safety Information
- Ensure the operator is fully conversant with the attachment, its operation and maintenance before use.
- Ensure both the truck and attachment are capable of handling the intended load.
- Ensure shackle pins are adequately tightened before each use.
- Ensure heel pins are correctly inserted and positioned behind the heel of the fork prior to every use.
- Do not drive into the fork pockets without first removing the heel pins.
- Do not shock load the attachment under any circumstances.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect weekly with particular attention to all weld points, wear and distortion of fork pockets and heel pin attachments, condition of swivel hooks, safety latches and shackles, and alignment of the extending boom. Treat surface rusting with proprietary inhibitors and repaint as required. This product is certified for six months from the date of manufacture, after which it must be re-tested at an approved testing facility or inspected by a competent person as advised by the HSE.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What fork size does the IAEJ fit?
The IAEJ fits forks up to 150 x 50mm at 350mm centres. A larger fork pocket option of 150 x 70mm is available on request.
Q: Can I use the IAEJ on a telehandler?
Yes. The IAEJ is suitable for both forklift trucks and telehandlers, provided the machine's residual capacity is sufficient for the intended load at the relevant load centre.
Q: How often does the jib need to be inspected?
Weekly visual inspections should be carried out by the operator. Under LOLER 1998, a thorough examination by a competent person is required at least every 6 months.
