IA-JB-60T Telescoping Jib Boom, 6,000 lb, for Forklifts and Telehandlers
The IA-JB-60T is a telescoping jib boom for forklifts and telehandlers, rated to 6,000 lb (2,100 lb at full extension). It replaces improvised fork rigging with an engineered attachment: up to 12 feet of reach and 9 hook positions, so the operator places the load instead of fighting it.
Built for contractors setting trusses, mechanical equipment, and material beyond the forks, and for equipment dealers and rental fleets that need an attachment built for high-cycle industrial use.
Engineered different.
We did not copy an old jib boom. We redesigned it, and the choices show up on the jobsite.
- Pins right the first time. Laser-cut alignment markings give positive pin engagement on every extension. No eyeballing the holes, no fighting it.
- A coating that won't chip or rust. Finished in Plascoat, a thick thermoplastic coating that flexes with the steel instead of chipping and cracking like ordinary paint, so it won't rust out through a hard rental season.
- Keeps your machine's lifting power. The closest lift point sits in close, just 24 inches out, so your forklift or telehandler keeps more of its rated capacity than it would with a boom that only hangs loads far out front.
Why operators run it
- Exact spotting. 9 hook positions across the boom for precise load placement.
- Clear sightlines. Low-profile design keeps the load visible and stores flat.
- IA Technical Hub on every unit. Scan the QR label for the answer your way: read the docs, watch the videos, or ask the IA Assistant 24/7. The on-board load calculator gives you the safe working load for your machine and hook position on the spot, so you get it right on the jobsite.
