Industrial Jibs

They are often utilized to reach through second or third story doorways or windows in order to pick up and move heaps to areas still under construction. Fork truck jibs are really used to be able to deliver trucks and flatbed trailers, to laminate wood and suspend trusses. Jibs are also typically used for reaching over scaffolding intended for masonry work.

Each and every forklift jib attachment is outfitted with two swivel hooks. One of the hooks can be manually connected on the base of the boom at whichever position while the second hook remains connected at the end of the jib. This enables the operator to be able to pick up stuff which have two hook points. Depending on the size of the model, every hook is rated at either 4000 or 6000 lbs. It is possible to utilize either a hook or even both to be able to lift a load. The person operating it should make certain that the entire weight of the jib and the load will not go beyond the rated capacity of the jib as shown on the load chart for that extended or retracted position.

Attachments jibs can be utilized on industrial lift trucks, extendable-reach forklifts, and even on rough terrain straight-mast lift trucks. The forklift jib cranes can be installed onto the forklift by way of inserting both of the forks into the fork pockets. The back of the jib crane then seats towards the rear of the fork and a security chain wraps the forklift carriage to hold it into place.

Load Capacity for the Jib Boom Forklift Attachment

You might have to check with a material handling specialist concerning the specific limits of your lift truck use. The load capacity ratings are really for the jib itself and not the forklift or the maximum load which can be transferred safely with a certain lift truck. It is very important remember that at any time when whatever accessories like for example a forklift jib are connected to the forklift, the new center of gravity created by the attachment would lessen the general lift capability of the forklift. There are directions obtainable that provide information on how to properly calculate these load limits.

Safe Usage of your Fork Lift Attachment & Fork Trucks

Before using a forklift jib, ensure that it is properly secured to the lift truck utilizing hooks and shackles. Continuously double check to be able to verify that the screw pins are tight. It is very important to even be sure that the weight calculations have been done correctly. Keep in mind to consider the truth that rated capacities at times decrease each time the boom is in a raised position, every time the boom is extended with telehandlers or when the mast is slanted forward.

Vital pointers whenever making use of an adjustable jib is not to ever pull a load with the use of this particular type of accessory. These kinds of accessories are only used for vertical lifting. Also, avoid letting the load move backward and forward. Utilize extreme caution each and every time a load is carried in order to avoid tipping over the truck.
