Fork lift crane

One of the UK's leading material handling firms is offering its customers an attachment to help turn their forklifts into a mobile crane.

Contact Attachments designs and manufactures more than 15 variations of forklift jibs, which are being used by customers like BAE Systems, Britvic Soft Drinks, and BMW as a safe and reliable way to transform forklifts into adaptable lifting equipment.

Technical sales consultant Jason Cadman says: "We have jibs that can be mounted onto the forks of the truck, which is a great advantage if it is required for multiple tasks throughout the day. Alternatively, some jibs can be directly fixed to the truck's carriage, which is beneficial for lifting tasks that require a more permanently fixed attachment."
