FORKLIFT JIBS
Big jobs need big jibs When moving heavy loads from containers, you need the right forklift and lifting equipment or things can go wrong. Handling materials in the workplace has become easier thanks to the many lifting attachments available in the market today. But when you’re dealing with loads weighing up to 12 tonnes, you could hardly be blamed for wondering where to start. Forklift jibs are one of the most common lifting attachments used to lift and move heavy loads around a work site. They come in a range of styles and sizes to suit the lifting requirements of most weights. With the largest range of forklift jibs available, Australia’s leading supplier of material handling equipment, East West Engineering, has extended their range to include a massive 12 tonne jib for those heavier lifts. The SFJCL120 Lifting Jib is a 12T general purpose telescopic jib designed to suit most lifting and maintenance requirements of larger forklifts.

Featuring seven lifting positions and a four-metre reach when fully extended, this jib includes wide 275mm pockets with 1000mm centres suitable to handle the big 250 x 100mm forks often fitted on the larger 16-20T forklifts. The first product developed at East West Engineering was in fact a jib. “When we first started out in 1974 as a steel fabrication and installation company, we experienced a lack of quality engineered and certified lifting equipment needed to efficiently and safely run operations on large government projects.” said Ron King, the company’s founder. “This resulted in the development of the first of many jib attachments and the evolution of East West Engineering in 1981. It seems fitting that we have continued this passion and now offer 24 specialised forklift jib attachments in our range.” East West Engineering has dedicated 41 years to developing material handling solutions for Australian businesses. Designed to optimise operational productivity and safety, all products are certified to Australian standards.
