Incorporating large pockets to allow driving the truck straight in, then using the heel pins to secure in place. 

The lifting capacity will largely depend on the capacity of your truck and also the placement of the hook. (the hook nearest the forks can lift higher capacities than the hole at the very end; see table below) 

Why use a jib arm on a forklift truck?

With the help of a jib attachment, you can make a forklift truck much more versatile as a piece of material handling equipment. 

In the case of the FMJ from Contact, this means you can quickly add a crane-style lifting solution, complete with an integrated hook. This allows it to be attached to loads by a shackle and any other compatible equipment and accessories. 

There are several different types of forklift jib arm available on the Lifting Gear Direct site, including models which offer adjustability as well as those like the FMJ which are fixed in place.
