Using the Extending Forklift Jib

Set the forklift’s forks to the appropriate width to suite the fork jibs fork pockets.

Approach the Fork Jib with the forklift and line the forks up with the fork pockets. Insert the forks into the fork pockets, ensuring the Fork Jib is mounted as far back on the forks as possible.

Wrap the restraint chain around the fork lift carriage, ensuring it cannot come loose or slip free and that the chains does not allow the Fork Jib to “slide” forwards on the forks.

The Fork Jib is designed to lift and then move loads safely. Always ensure that the load does not exceed the rating on the load hook and DO NOT drag the load as this will put undue stress on the restraint chain.

Raise the Fork Jib and position the safety swivel hook over the lifting point of the load. Lower the hook to a point where the load can be attached safely. Once attached, ensure that the gate on the safety swivel hook is fully closed.

Now raise the load and check that the hook is balanced and secure. Once all is okay, move the load to the desired location in a smooth and safe manner, ensuring that you do not jolt or cause the load to swing.

Now lower the load until grounded, lower the hook until you are able to safely release the safety swivel hook from the load.

Once the last load has been moved and the operator is finished with the unit, lower it to the ground and release the restraint chain.

Reverse the forklift out of the fork pockets and clear of the unit and then replace the heel pins ensuring they are available for the next use.
