Frequently Asked Questions

What's known as a forklift jib attachment?

A forklift jib attachment is an accessory that attaches to the tines of a forklift to increase its lifting capacity for specialised uses. It is often made up of a long, horizontal arm with a hook or lifting point at the end, allowing the forklift to lift and handle objects that are too large for normal forks alone. Forklift jibs are often used to lift and position long or oddly shaped loads, suspend things for transit, and reach over obstacles or into tight spaces.

What is the purpose of a jib attachment?

A forklift jib attachment increases the forklift’s reach, allowing it to move goods into tight places or over obstacles. It promotes adaptability by managing a variety of loads, improves load manipulation for precise positioning, and boosts lifting capacity for specific applications. Jibs also help with safety by providing secure attachment points for lifting, lowering the danger of accidents or damage during material handling procedures.

How do you operate with a forklift jib?

Using the forklift jib attachment:

● Prepare the forklift and attach the jib securely.
● Position the forklift and align jib hook point with the goods.
● Engage jib with load and secure.
● Lift the load slowly and cautiously.
● Transport the load to its destination.
● Unload and detach the jib.

Follow the safety protocols during the process.
