Invicta Fork Mounted In-Line Pole

Model IFIB | Fork Mounted | High Tensile Machined Pole | Up to 750kg Capacity | UK Manufactured

The Invicta Fork Mounted In-Line Pole (Model IFIB) is capable of lifting a variety of coiled products and is usually used in low volume or occasional usage environments with a mixed pallet and coiled product application. Unlike the standard Fork Mounted Pole (IFB), the IFIB is mounted in-line with the forks for applications where the approach angle requires the pole to extend directly forward. The high tensile machined pole features a tapered tip for easy location into the core and a smooth surface finish to protect the load. Available in three models with effective lengths from 3000mm to 3500mm. Manufactured in Leeds by Invicta Forks & Attachments.

Technical Specifications

Maximum fork section 125 x 50mm at 695mm centres. Optional thumbscrew retention available.

Key Features

• In-line mounting — pole extends directly forward in line with the forks for front-approach applications
• High tensile machined pole — precision-machined with a tapered tip for easy roll location
• Free standing design — stands independently for easy fork insertion
• Smooth surface finish — protects the load from damage during handling
• Secure attachment — zinc plated heel pins with optional thumbscrew retention

Suitable Applications

The IFIB is suited to the same applications as the IFB — carpet warehouses, paper merchants, textile manufacturers — but is selected when the approach angle requires the pole to extend directly forward rather than offset from the forks.

How to Use the Fork Mounted In-Line Pole

1. Position forks to the correct distance apart.
2. Drive forks into pockets with thumb screws retracted.
3. Tighten thumb screws securely.
4. Insert the pole into the core of the coiled product and lift.

Warning: Ensure the pole is fully inserted before lifting. Do not tip load or shock load. Do not exceed the safe working load.

Safety Information

• Ensure thumbscrews are securely fastened.
• Ensure the pole is fully inserted before lifting.
• Do not tip load.
• Do not shock load.

Inspection and Maintenance

Inspect weekly — focus on weld points, damaged components and pole alignment. Certified for six months.
