Hi All,

Could some one explain to me how a crane jib is or is not meant to be attached to the forklift mast ? The one we have onsite is attached by chains round the mast is this compliance or non compliance ?

Any comments to this will be greatly appreciated

Mike

I'd have thought a retaining bar more appropriate, e.g.

If the jib is on the forks. Other jibs can be attached direct to the carriage. Small units can be clamped to the forks.

Hi Ron ,

Thanks for your reply .

If the jib is on the forks does there need to be attachment to the mast of the forks or is the attchment the through the forks apple enough for lifting ?

I think you'd have to get in touch with the accessory supplier for a definitive answer but from what you describe then a retaining bar at the back of the forks would seem appropriate.
