Forklift Jibs

A forklift jib is an attachment that slots onto a forklift or telehandler's forks and turns the machine into a crane, lifting sling or manoeuvres awkward loads safely from a hook instead of on the forks themselves. GAP Hire Solutions' forklift jib hire range gives you extended reach and, on larger jibs, multiple lifting points, so you can lift and position loads that forks alone can't handle safely. Forklift jibs are used to crane-lift slung loads such as concrete pipes, generators, plate compactors and other awkwardly shaped equipment, and to move materials up to height where a fixed pallet load isn't practical. Fixed jibs suit straightforward vertical lifts, while extending or adjustable-reach jibs let let you fine-tune the reach for the load and the space around it. Warehousing, construction, plant and materials-handling operators hire a forklift jib because it turns equipment already on site into a compact crane without the cost or footprint of a dedicated lifting machine. GAP Hire Solutions has forklift jib hire available nationwide with fast depot delivery.
