What is a Forklift Jib?

A jib arm is a steel boom that attaches to the forks of the truck and essentially turns your machine in to a multi-functional crane by extending its reach to new levels. This enables the user to move and lift a variety of items to and from higher and lower areas without having to take the time to unload and move the item manually as well as lifting large bulky loads that otherwise would not have been possible. It is a perfect tool for warehouses, factories, and other industrial settings as well as construction sites and maintenance applications. There are two main types; fixed and adjustable. Adjustable Forklift Jibs offer the most versatile solution becuase you are able to adjust the position of the boom and hook(s) for various different loads, this is ideal if the unit is for a rental fleet or if you handle a variety of different sized loads.

Benefits of a Forklift Jib Boom

A forklift boom can provide many benefits for businesses and industries. It can help improve workplace safety and efficiency by allowing the user to lift heavier items with ease and stability. This takes away the risk of balancing sling eyes on top of already razor sharp forks with no anchorage- a practice destined for disaster! Additionally, it can reduce the risk of injury further by allowing the user to maintain a secure grip on the item while lifting it.

Upgrade Your FLT with a Jib Arm

Upgrading your truck with a jib can help you reach new heights of efficiency in your workplace. The attachment can help you quickly and safely lift items without having to manually unload and move them. It can also reduce the risk of injury and provide a more secure grip on heavier items. Investing in a boom arm can help you improve your workplace efficiency and safety.

It's a much better way of lifting Vs. using a sling in direct contact with a fork as that can have lethal consiquences.
