About the Extendable Low-Liner Forklift Jib Arm

 From Contact’s range of forklift jib arms, the LLX range consists of 12 models in total and can augment a standard lift truck to all it to double up as a compact, portable crane. It is one of many forklift attachments we stock at Lifting Gear Direct.

 Brief outline of abilities

Easy to fit to the forks/tines of a forklift truck due to the large pockets allowing you to drive it in and secure with heel retaining pins. 

Supplied with 2 hooks and shackles which may be positioned in any of the numerous locations along the arm. 

Extends from 2000mm (closed) to 3000mm (open). 

Lifting capacity varies according to the truck’s capacity and the anchor hook locations, please refer to tables below. 

Other jib arms to consider

At LGD we make it our mission to give our customers as much choice as possible, even within relatively unique categories such as our forklift jib arms. 

The extendable nature of the LLX might make it suitable for some but it will not be universally ideal. We also stock models like the Contact ECJ, which is not adjustable and is aimed at being affordable as well as effective, allowing for safe lifting by truck at capacities of up to 3000kg. 

Meanwhile the Contact FMXA is even more adjustable and effective, suitable for trucks with WLLs of up to 4 tonnes. 

Additional attachments on offer

If a jib arm is not what you need for your forklift but you still have something in mind to overhaul its abilities, LGD can help. 

On our site you will find hook attachments which allow for easy lifting and lowering without the crane-like extras of a jib arm. You can also order tipping skips, which are ideal for material handling in context where loose loads need to be manoeuvred.
