Skid Steer Telescoping Jib Boom
Reach 12 ft with the skid steer you already own. Latches on like a bucket, with seven lift points from 2 ft to 12 ft.
Model IA-JB-65TQ · 6,500 lb at the rear lug, 1,250 lb at 12 ft · Skid steers and compact track loaders
Reach 12 ft with the skid steer you already own. The IA-JB-65TQ latches onto your universal quick attach like a bucket, pins to the reach you need, and sets the load on an engineered lift point, out to 12 ft.
Built for contractors, landscapers, and farm and ranch crews who need to place loads past the bucket, and for equipment dealers and rental fleets that need an attachment built for high-cycle use.
Engineered different.
The IA-JB-65TQ was designed from first principles for the skid steer quick attach, not a rebadged import, and the choices show up on the jobsite.
- Braced into the plate. The boom runs into the quick attach plate and is welded to it with side gussets, so the load spreads into the plate instead of hanging off one weld line.
- Keeps your machine's lifting power. The rear lug sits in close, just 24 in out, so your skid steer keeps more of its own rated capacity. The Hub's Load Calculator gives you the safe load for your machine.
- 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 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 season.
Why operators run it
- Skip the crane rental. One machine and one operator pick the load, swing it in and set it down.
- Seven lift points, 2 ft to 12 ft. Two fixed lugs close in plus five pinned tip positions, so you set the reach to the pick.
- Light for its reach. About 410 lb, so more of your machine goes into the load.
- Every lift point is marked with its rating. The load chart rides on the boom, not in a drawer.
- A support app on every unit. Scan the QR label and the IA Technical Hub opens on your phone: the manual, setup videos, an assistant that answers any hour, and a load calculator that gives the safe load for your machine at the position you are using.

Structural capacity of the attachment only, not host machine capacity. Lugs are rated with the boom fully retracted; tip ratings apply at the pinned extension with the boom level. Capacity is always the lower of this chart or the host machine capacity chart.
Running forklifts or telehandlers too? The IA-JB-60T jib boom puts the same 12 ft telescoping boom on your forks, and the IA-TB-100T truss boom reaches 16 ft. And if none of them fits your job, we build custom attachments for forklifts, telehandlers, and skid steers, engineered, built, and load-tested like everything else we sell. Tell us the machine, the job, and the load.
