Extend the reach of your forklift with a Star Industries Forklift Jib Boom

Problem: Lifting heavy loads over and under obstacles can get tricky and dangerous with a forklift alone. But the job doesn’t warrant a crane lift and you don’t always have a purpose-built telehandler onsite. Even when you do, you still sometimes need that extra lift.

Solution:

  • This versatile attachment allows you to do the job of a crane or enhance your telehandler
  • Save money/costs on extra equipment
  • Get extra lift and move bulky loads around awkward obstacles on the worksite. Get more done, faster and safer.
