The IEJ is the answer when reach matters more than outright capacity. The boom extends and locks with a 'T' bar locating pin, giving up to nine lifting positions from 1000mm to 3000mm load centres, and the two hooks supplied as standard let you cradle long loads rather than balancing them on a single point. If you never need to reach past about 1750mm, the fixed IFJ carries more for less weight.
Key Features
- Extending boom — up to 9 lifting positions from 1000mm to 3000mm load centres

UK Manufactured | LOLER Compliant
This product is designed and manufactured in the UK by Invicta Forks & Attachments, the UK's largest mechanical forklift attachment manufacturer, based in Leeds. Where applicable, this product is supplied with a test certificate and EC Declaration of Conformity. LOLER 1998 thorough examinations are required every 6 months by a competent person after initial certification.
Suitable Applications
The IEJ is suited to construction sites, steel fabrication yards, engineering workshops and industrial facilities where long or awkward loads need to be lifted and repositioned. Common uses include handling steel beams, precast lintels, pipe bundles, timber lengths and mechanical plant components.
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 Extending Jib
- Position forks to the correct distance apart and remove heel pins.
- Drive the forks into the fork pockets.
- Insert heel pins behind the heel of the fork and attach safety lynch pin.
- Position each swivel hook and shackle to the desired lifting point.
- To extend or retract the boom, remove the 'T' bar locating pin, push/pull the handle to the desired position, and replace the pin.
Warning:
Only make vertical lifts — do not make angular lifts with this attachment. The mast must remain vertical at all times. Do not exceed the safe working load at each lifting point.
Safety Information
- Ensure heel pins are correctly inserted before every use.
- Ensure shackle pins are adequately tightened before each use.
- Do not make angular lifts — only vertical lifts.
- Do not shock load the attachment under any circumstances.
- The forklift mast must be vertical at all times.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect weekly — focus on weld points, fork pockets, heel pins, swivel hooks, shackles and extending boom alignment. Certified for six months from manufacture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the IEJ and the IFJ?
The IEJ has an extending boom giving up to nine lifting positions out to 3000mm, and is supplied with two hooks for cradling long loads. The IFJ has a fixed boom with four positions but carries higher capacities in a lighter unit. Reach favours the IEJ, capacity favours the IFJ.
Q: Can I use the IEJ on a telehandler?
Yes, provided the telehandler's fork section and carriage suit the attachment and the machine is rated for the load at the resulting load centre. The mast or boom must be vertical during the lift.
Q: How do I extend and lock the boom?
Remove the 'T' bar locating pin, slide the extending boom until the hole in the boom aligns with the hole in the fixed beam, then replace the pin fully and secure it. Never lift with the pin partially engaged.
Q: Why are two hooks supplied?
Two hooks allow a long load to be cradled at two points rather than balanced at one, which controls swing and keeps the load level. For compact loads a single hook position can be used.
Q: Does capacity change as the boom extends?
Yes. Rated capacity reduces as the load centre moves outward. Work from the capacity chart supplied with the unit for the specific position you are using, and confirm the truck is rated for that load centre too.
Q: What is the maximum fork size the IEJ accepts?
The IEJ is designed for a maximum fork section of 150 x 50mm. Check your forks before ordering, and note that heel pins must be fitted directly behind the fork heel with the safety lynch pin in place.
Q: Is the IEJ certified?
Yes. It is manufactured in the UK by Invicta Forks & Attachments and supplied with a test certificate and EC Declaration of Conformity where applicable. LOLER 1998 thorough examination is required every six months after initial certification.
