Fork Slot Truss Jibs

Fork Slot Truss Jib - Jib attachments are made to be utilized on extendable-reach lift trucks, rough terrain straight-mast forklifts and even on industrial lift trucks. Forklift jib cranes fit onto the forklift by means of inserting both forks into the fork pockets. The back of the jib crane then seats against the back of the fork and a safety chain wraps the forklift carriage to hold it into position.

Jib Boom Forklift Attachment Load Capacity

The maximum load capacity intended for forklift jibs in both the extended or retracted positions vary from 1935 pounds to 6000 lbs. It's a good suggestion to ask a material handling specialist regarding the limits for your specific application. The load capacity rankings are for the jib itself and not the lift truck or even the utmost load which could be handled safely with a certain forklift. It is important to remember that whenever any accessories like for instance a forklift jib are attached to the lift truck, the new center of gravity made by the attachment will reduce the overall lift capability of the forklift. There are instructions obtainable that provide details on how to accurately determine these load limits.

Previous to making use of a lift truck jib, make sure that it is properly secured to the forklift utilizing shackles and hooks. Always double check to verify that the screw pins are tight. It is essential to also double check that the freight calculations have been done correctly. Bear in mind to consider the truth that rated capacities at times decrease when the boom is in an elevated position, each time the boom is fully extended with telehandlers or even every time the mast is slanted frontward.
