JIBS AND HOOKS
 Jibs and Hook attachments fundamentally turn your forklift into a mini crane or hoist, these work by sliding over the fork prongs. The jib attachment has a hook which is then attached to the item you are lifting. There are accessories available that can be used such as; bulk frame bag frames, these enable you to move and lift filled bags by attaching the frame to the hook and the bag to the frame.

LES fork-mounted Jibs are supplied with a swivel hook and a bow shackle. They are robust with four shackle suspension holes to allow the perfect hook position along the arm. The zinc-plated heal pins ensure the jib is secured in place on the forks without the additional need for a safety chain.

There are various options when selecting a jib attachment including Low profile which can access items that need lifting from a low level and low profile extending Jibs that can extend. The extendable version moves and lifts long loads in locations that are awkward to access. They have 10 lifting positions with the benefit of 2 hooks and shackles so that the load can be cradled.

Height adjustable, extendable Jibs have the benefit of angular lifting allowing awkward and tall loads to be lifted easily by increasing the lifting height of either the telehandler or the forklift truck.

Each forklift jib is fully certified and complete with documentation.
