Fork Mounted Jib

A fixed length forklift jib which mounts on to the forks of any fork truck. This gives the user a hook point to mount other things from. It turns your fork truck into a crane in seconds, simply drive in and secure to forks. An excellent and essential standby for handling the occasional long/awkward load. Supplied with safety swivel, hook and shackle.

A fork mounted jib or hook is typically used when it is required to lift the load from the top rather than lifting from below the load, for example where the fork times cannot fit under the load. There are a wide range of jibs and hooks available from low profile to high profile which are useful if you need to lift that little bit higher.
