Telescoping Jib Boom
Replaces improvised fork rigging with an engineered attachment. Up to 12 ft of reach and 9 hook positions.
Lifts 6,000 lb up close, 2,100 lb at 12 ft
Fits forklifts and telehandlers
- Pins right the first time. Position marks are laser-cut into the steel, so you read the mark and pin it.
- Keeps the load close. The closest hook sits 24 in from the fork face, so your machine keeps more of its lifting power.
- Built in Idaho to take abuse. A thick coating that flexes instead of chipping like paint, and a 3-year structural warranty.

Stop rigging off the fork tips. The IA-JB-60T replaces improvised fork rigging with an engineered attachment, pins to the reach you need, and puts the load where you need it, up to 12 ft beyond the fork face.
Built for contractors placing mechanical equipment and material beyond the forks, and for equipment dealers and rental fleets that need a rugged, purpose-built lifting attachment.
Engineered different.
The IA-JB-60T was designed from scratch as a two-section telescoping jib boom, not a rebadged import, and the choices show up on the jobsite.
- Pins right the first time. Position marks are laser-cut into the steel, not painted on or stuck on, so you read the mark and pin it without guessing.
- A coating built to take abuse. Finished in Plascoat, a thick thermoplastic coating that flexes with the steel instead of chipping and cracking like ordinary paint, helping protect the boom from corrosion through hard jobsite and rental use.
- Keeps the load close. The closest hook position sits just 24 in from the fork face, helping preserve more of your forklift or telehandler's available lifting capacity. The Hub's Load Calculator gives you the allowable load for your machine.
- Clear sightlines. The low-profile design keeps the load visible over the boom and stores flat on a rack shelf between jobs.
Why operators run it
- Place the load, don't fight it. Use the forklift or telehandler already on the job to pick the load, position it, and set it down from a rated lift point.
- Lifts up to 6,000 lb at the four fixed hook positions. At full 12 ft extension it lifts 2,100 lb.
- Nine rated hook positions. Four on the fixed boom plus five telescoping, so you set the reach to the pick.
- Every hook position is marked with its rating. The load chart rides on the boom, not in a drawer.
- Support built into every boom. Scan the QR label and the IA Technical Hub opens on your phone with the manual, setup videos, 24/7 support assistant, and a load calculator that gives the allowable load for your machine and hook position.
