The Telescopic Forklift Crane Jib is designed for suspended lifting applications where additional reach is required. Built for forklift truck use, this manually extendable forklift jib allows suitable loads to be lifted and positioned using an adjustable beam with multiple lifting points.
With an extendable reach from 2000mm to 3000mm, this forklift crane jib is suitable for workshops, warehouses, factories, yards and industrial sites where machinery, motors, equipment, frames, tooling and other compatible suspended loads need to be handled safely.
Telescopic Forklift Crane Jib for Extended Reach Lifting
This telescopic forklift crane jib is designed to convert a forklift truck into a practical lifting solution for suitable suspended loads. The manually extendable arm allows the operator to adjust the reach depending on the load position, access requirements and working area.
The jib includes nine lifting points along the beam, giving a range of hook positions from shorter reach lifting through to extended reach applications. As with all forklift lifting attachments, the safe working capacity will depend on the forklift truck, hook position, load centre and operating conditions.

Why Choose a Telescopic Forklift Crane Jib?
A telescopic forklift crane jib is useful when the load cannot be lifted directly at the forklift carriage or when extra reach is required. The adjustable beam allows the hook position to be changed across multiple lifting points, giving more flexibility than a fixed length jib.
This makes the product suitable for maintenance teams, engineering workshops, factories and industrial sites where lifting positions can vary depending on the load, access and working environment.
Choosing the Right Forklift Crane Jib
The correct forklift crane jib will depend on the load weight, required reach, available headroom and forklift truck capacity. As the hook position moves further away from the forklift carriage, the available lifting capacity reduces. Always check the capacity table before selecting the correct forklift truck capacity option.
Before ordering, check your forklift truck capacity, fork section, fork spread, load weight and intended lifting position. The selected jib and forklift truck must be suitable for the load at the required reach.
Telescopic vs Low Profile Forklift Jibs
| Product Type | Best For | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Telescopic Forklift Crane Jib | Applications requiring adjustable reach | Extendable beam from 2000mm to 3000mm |
| Low Profile Forklift Crane Jib | Suspended lifting where lower attachment height is preferred | Lower profile fixed beam design |
| Standard Forklift Lifting Jib | General suspended lifting applications | Simple fork mounted lifting solution |
Safety and Operation
Forklift crane jibs must only be used by trained operators and within the rated capacity of both the forklift truck and attachment. The load must be secure, balanced and suitable for suspended lifting before any lift takes place.
Always check the selected hook position, load weight, forklift capacity and site conditions before use. Loads should be lifted smoothly, kept as low as practical during travel and never handled above personnel. Relevant site lifting procedures, inspection requirements and health and safety guidance should always be followed.

FAQs
What is a telescopic forklift crane jib used for?
A telescopic forklift crane jib is used for lifting and positioning suitable suspended loads with a forklift truck. It is commonly used for machinery, motors, equipment, tooling, frames and other lifting tasks in workshops, factories, warehouses and yards.
What reach does this forklift jib have?
This telescopic forklift crane jib has a manually extendable beam with a closed length of 2000mm and an open length of 3000mm.
How many lifting points does it have?
The jib has nine lifting points, allowing the hook position to be adjusted depending on the required reach and load position.
What forklift truck capacities are available?
This product is available for forklift truck capacities from 2000kg to 5000kg. Always select the correct option based on your forklift truck and lifting requirements.
Does lifting capacity reduce as the jib extends?
Yes. As the hook position moves further away from the forklift carriage, the available lifting capacity reduces. Always check the capacity table before lifting.
Is this better than a low profile forklift jib?
It depends on the application. A telescopic forklift jib is better when adjustable reach is required. A low profile forklift jib is better when a lower attachment height is the priority.
Can this be used for all suspended loads?
No. The load must be suitable for suspended lifting and must remain within the rated capacity of the forklift truck and attachment at the selected hook position.
What fork size does this jib accept?
The listed maximum fork section is 180 x 80mm, with a fork spread of 580mm. Always check your forklift forks against the product specification before ordering.
