Industrial Jib

Industrial Jib - Forklift jibs allow the operator to reach over obstacles with the intention to put their heavy loads on decks, roofs and elevated platforms. They are usually utilized to reach through second or third story doorways and windows to be able to carry and move loads to areas still under construction. Fork truck jibs are used so as to deliver trucks and flatbed trailers, to laminate wood and suspend trusses. Jibs are even often utilized for reaching over scaffolding meant for masonry work.

Every forklift jib attachment is equipped with two revolving hooks. One of the hooks can be manually fitted on the base of the boom at any position while the other hook stays fitted at the end of the jib. This enables the operator to lift stuff that have two hook points. Depending on the dimensions of the model, every hook is rated at either 4 thousand or 6 thousand lbs. It's possible to make use of either one hook or both to pick up a load. The person operating it must make sure that the full weight of the jib and the load will not go over the rated capacity of the jib as shown on the load chart for that extended or retracted position.

Jib attachments are made so as to be utilized on rough terrain straight-mast lifts, industrial lift trucks, or also on extendable-reach forklifts. Forklift jib cranes fit onto the forklift through inserting both forks into the fork pockets. The rear of the jib crane then seats towards the back of the fork and a safety chain wraps the forklift carriage to hold it into position.

Load Capacity for the Jib Boom Forklift Attachment

The load capacity of a lift truck jib has a maximum of about 1935 pounds to as much as 6000 lbs on either the extended or retracted positions range. You might have to check with a material handling specialist regarding the specific limits of your forklift application. The load capacity rankings are for the jib itself and not the forklift or even the utmost load which could be lifted safely using a particular forklift. It is important to remember that each time whatever accessories like for example a lift truck jib are connected to the forklift, the new center of gravity created by the accessory would reduce the overall lift capacity of the forklift. There are instructions available which offer information on how to accurately estimate these load limits.

Fork Trucks & Fork lift Attachment Safe Usage

Before the use of whichever forklift jib, make sure that the hooks and shackles are properly secured to the lift truck. Be sure and also double check that the pins are tight. It is necessary that the load calculations are properly made and double checked. Remember to take into consideration the truth that rated capacities occasionally decrease whenever the boom is in a raised position, when the boom is extended with telehandlers or even whenever the mast is slanted forward.

Several important tips concerning the adjustable jib are: never pull a load using a lift truck jib attachment, since these accessories are really meant for vertical lift only. All the time carry the load without letting it swing. Use extreme caution each time a load is lifted in order to prevent tipping over the truck.
