About our forklift fly jib cranes

A forklift fly jib crane is a crane attachment that mounts on a forklift. It turns the forklift into a small mobile crane for lifting awkward loads in warehouses, yards and workshops, or placing them higher than the forks can reach.

BOB-LIFT offers six forklift fly jib cranes, rated at 2.3 t, 2.5 t, 3.5 t, 4.9 t and 7 t, with two 7 t models: the CC165 with 11 m reach and the long-reach CC200 with 12.6 m. They are supplied by BOB-LIFT, a crane manufacturer based in Xuzhou, China, that exports to 120+ countries.

Start with your forklift, because the jib and its load must stay within what the forklift can carry, so check the forklift's rated capacity and load center before you pick a size. Confirm that the forklift's hydraulic supply suits the jib, and read the load chart for the jib at the reach and height you need. Send us your forklift model with your inquiry so we can confirm the match. For lifting from a truck instead, see our knuckle boom truck mounted cranes.

Buying guide

How to choose a forklift jib crane

A forklift jib crane, also called a forklift fly jib crane, hangs on your forklift's fork carriage and uses the forklift as its counterweight. Choose it in this order: the forklift you have, the load at your working radius, the hook height you need, then the hydraulic and mounting check. The figures below come from our technical drawings.

  1. 01Start with the forklift you already own

    A forklift jib crane has no outriggers, so the forklift must carry the crane and the load. Each model is matched to a forklift capacity class: the CC85 (2.3 t) to 3–3.5 t forklifts, the CC105 (2.5 t) to 3.5–4 t, the CC125 (3.5 t) to 4–6 t, the CC145 (4.9 t) to 5–7 t and the CC165 (7 t) to 10 t forklifts. The long-reach CC200 (7 t) is matched to 10–12 t forklifts. The crane itself weighs from 560 kg (CC85) to 2,000 kg (CC165), and that weight sits in front of the forklift before any load is added.

  2. 02Size it by the load at your working radius

    The headline rating applies only close to the mast. The CC125 lifts 3,500 kg at 2.1 m, 1,300 kg at 5.2 m and 350 kg at its full 8 m reach. If you must place 1,300 kg at 6.6 m, the CC145 does it and the CC125 does not (800 kg there). Measure the horizontal distance from the mast to where the load lands, then read the load chart on the product page. Our guide on how to read a crane load chart walks through it.

  3. 03Add the mast to the boom for hook height

    The forklift mast lifts the whole crane, so mast height adds to hook height before the boom moves. With a 4.5 m mast, maximum hook height runs from 9.9 m on the CC85 to 12.5 m on the CC125 and 13.9 m on the CC145. The CC165 load chart shows about 14 m of hook height with the fork carriage lowered. The long-reach CC200 reaches a hook height of 15.5 m with a 3 m mast and 17 m with a 4.5 m mast. Tell us your mast height and the highest point you must reach.

  4. 04Check the carriage and the hydraulics

    The crane frame hangs where the forks normally sit, so we check your carriage width and class before quoting. The boom functions run from the forklift's auxiliary hydraulic circuit; the CC165 needs a supply rated at 80 L/min and 20 MPa. Send us a side photo of the forklift, its data plate and whether it has an auxiliary circuit, and our engineers confirm the fit.

Frequently asked questions

What is a forklift fly jib crane?

It is a complete hydraulic crane that mounts on a forklift's fork carriage and turns the forklift into a small mobile crane for factories, yards, building sites and pits. On a mobile or crawler crane, a fly jib means something else: an extension pinned to the tip of the main boom for extra height. We build the forklift-mounted kind, not mobile crane jibs.

How much can a forklift jib crane lift?

Our six models are rated at 2.3 t, 2.5 t, 3.5 t, 4.9 t and 7 t close to the mast, with maximum reach from 5.4 m (CC85) to 12.6 m (CC200). Capacity falls as the hook moves out: the CC85 lifts 2,300 kg at 1.7 m and 400 kg at 5.4 m. Always check the load chart at your working radius.

Is it the same as a simple fork-mounted jib attachment?

No. A simple jib attachment is a fixed beam with a hook that the forks pick up. Our forklift jib cranes luff, telescope and fold back in front of the mast for travel, so you can reach over obstacles and set loads down precisely.

What do you need from me to quote a forklift jib crane?

The forklift make, model and data plate capacity, its mast height and carriage width, a side photo, whether it has an auxiliary hydraulic circuit, and your heaviest load with the radius and height it must reach. We confirm the model and installation before production. Each crane comes with a 12-month warranty. Send us your inquiry.
