Telehandler truss boom prices vary because buyers are comparing more than steel and reach. The mounting system, fixed length, rated capacity, end fitting, attachment weight, and machine-specific fit can all change the value of a listing. This guide explains what to compare, using current eSkidSteer product information without filling gaps with estimates.

What Do Telehandler Truss Boom Prices Include?

Telehandler truss boom prices usually reflect the boom structure, mounting arrangement, end fitting, and selected length or capacity. A fair comparison starts by confirming whether the listing is for a complete attachment or only an accessory, then checking which parts are included, how the boom mounts, and whether the displayed amount applies to a specific model or option.

On an eSkidSteer listing, the price may be tied to a particular SKU or selected configuration. That distinction matters because a product page can show several lengths or options while the displayed amount refers to one selection. Before comparing two prices, record the same five details for each listing:

• Manufacturer and model or SKU
• Nominal boom length
• Rated attachment capacity
• Mounting method and required hardware
• End fitting, attachment weight, and included accessories

The listing price is only one part of the buying decision. A lower-priced fork-slot jib may be the right choice when the telehandler already has suitable forks. A custom quick-attach jib may offer the better fit when the machine is set up for a direct plate and the operator does not want to change fork equipment. Compare the complete configuration, not just the largest number in a search result.

How Much Are Telehandler Truss Boom Prices at eSkidSteer?

As checked on September 2, 2026, eSkidSteer shows the Haugen quick-attach truss jib listing at $3,499.99 list price and $3,271.45 current displayed price for the MTJ 2 selection. Its fork-slot truss jib listing shows variant prices of $2,820.99 for MFTJ 12 and $2,957.99 for MFTJ 15. The corresponding compare-at prices are $3,103.99 and $3,253.99. Prices, stock, and selected options can change, so confirm the live listing before ordering.

This snapshot is not a promise that every length uses the same price. The quick-attach page identifies seven lengths, and the current page-level price context is attached to the MTJ 2 selection. The fork-slot page publishes separate prices for its 12 ft and 15 ft variants. Treat the selected SKU and variant, not a generalized range, as the source for a purchase decision.

What Are Telehandler Truss Boom Prices for Each Length?

Length and capacity affect the attachment's steel structure, balance, reach, and intended use, but the relationship is not a simple price-per-foot calculation. A short boom can be designed for a different lift job than a long boom, and two attachments with the same nominal capacity can still differ in mount, weight, and end fitting.

The published Haugen quick-attach page confirms these endpoints:

• The MTJ 2 is 2 ft long, rated for 10,000 lb, and weighs 340 lb.
• The MTJ 12 is 12 ft long, rated for 2,000 lb, and weighs 575 lb.
• The MTJ 15 is 15 ft long, rated for 2,000 lb, and weighs 615 lb.
• The page publishes a full specification table and variant pricing for the listed lengths. Confirm the exact selected option because the price and specifications vary by model.

Do not infer that one model shares the capacity, weight, or price of another. Ask for the exact SKU and current specification before ordering. The longer option is not automatically the better value. Choose reach based on the lift points you actually need, then confirm the telehandler's load chart for the planned load position.

On the current eSkidSteer page, the MFTJ 12 and MFTJ 15 are both listed at 2,000 lb capacity, with attachment weights of 525 lb and 575 lb respectively. Their displayed variant prices are $2,820.99 and $2,957.99. That makes the 12 ft and 15 ft models easier to compare as configurations, but the right choice still depends on the required reach, machine rating, and clearance at the work area.

Which Mounting Configuration Fits Your Telehandler?

Telehandler truss booms generally fall into direct quick-attach and fork-slot configurations. A direct quick-attach model connects to a machine-specific plate, while a fork-slot model slips over existing fork tines through pockets. The correct choice depends on the telehandler's coupler, available equipment, desired changeover process, and the exact hardware shown on the product page.

Direct quick attach

The Haugen MTJ uses a custom CNC-machined quick-attach mount made for the telehandler's make, model, and year. It attaches directly to the telehandler plate, so forks are not required for this configuration. This can be a strong fit when the machine uses a compatible quick-attach system and the operator wants a dedicated truss jib setup. Because the mount is machine-specific, provide accurate equipment details before ordering.

Review the Haugen quick-attach truss jib specifications for the current SKU, length choices, end-fitting information, and ordering requirements.

Fork slot

The Haugen MFTJ uses standard fork pockets measuring 3.5 inches by 7.5 inches and slips onto fork tines. The listing identifies 12 ft and 15 ft models, both at 2,000 lb capacity, with a pintle hitch and keeper pins chained to the truss jib. This configuration can make sense when the telehandler already uses forks for material handling and the pockets match the tines.

Compare the fork-slot truss jib options before assuming that any fork-mounted boom will fit. Pocket dimensions, securing hardware, capacity, and machine load-chart limits all need to match.

For a broader view of available telehandler attachments, use the eSkidSteer collection to compare related tools without treating every attachment as a substitute for a truss jib.

How Should You Compare a Quote or Product Listing?

Compare a telehandler truss boom quote line by line, not by advertised reach alone. The strongest comparison records the exact model, mount, length, capacity, weight, end fitting, included hardware, and current total before purchase. It also confirms that the selected attachment fits the telehandler and supports the intended lift within the manufacturer's load-chart limits.

1. Identify the exact SKU. Record the manufacturer, model number, and selected length. Do not compare a family name on one page with a specific SKU on another.
2. Match the mount. Confirm direct quick attach versus fork slot. For a direct mount, provide the telehandler make, model, and year. For a fork-slot mount, confirm pocket dimensions and securing hardware.
3. Check the rated capacity. Use the attachment's published rating together with the telehandler's load chart. Never treat the attachment rating as the machine's capacity at every reach or height.
4. Account for attachment weight. The jib itself becomes part of the machine's load. Compare the attachment weight and the remaining usable capacity for the planned load.
5. Confirm the end fitting. The quick-attach page identifies weld-on hooks on some shorter models and pintle hitches on longer models. Make sure the fitting suits the rigging and lifting method required for the job.
6. Separate included items from add-ons. Ask whether hooks, pins, chains, brackets, or a custom mount are included in the displayed configuration. Do not assume an accessory shown in a product image is part of every SKU.
7. Capture the price date and option. Record the live price, selected variant, stock status, shipping message, and any displayed list-price comparison. Recheck the page immediately before ordering.

If a quote omits one of these details, the correct next step is clarification, not an assumed average. For an adjustable fork-mounted option, the Haugen telehandler boom and jib attachment is a useful comparison point because it is a different product configuration with adjustable positions and separate published specifications. It should not be compared to a fixed truss jib as though the two were identical.

When Is a Truss Boom a Better Value Than Another Attachment?

A truss boom is a better value when its mount, reach, end fitting, and capacity match the work more closely than a general-purpose attachment. A fixed quick-attach truss jib may be appropriate for repeatable lifting tasks on one telehandler, while a fork-slot model may offer flexibility for a fleet already equipped with compatible forks.

Other attachments can solve different material-handling problems. Fork extensions for forklifts and telehandlers extend the support surface for long loads, but they are not a hanging-load truss jib. A fork-mounted adjustable spreader bar is designed around spread positions and multiple hook points, so its comparison should focus on load distribution, spread, and published capacity rather than truss-jib reach alone.

For general truss-jib selection and safety concepts, see eSkidSteer's telehandler truss jib selection and safety guide. Keep the price decision separate from the safety decision: the lowest displayed amount is not a good value if the mount, capacity, or configuration is wrong for the machine.

Final Checklist Before You Order

Before ordering, make sure the listing or quote identifies a complete, compatible configuration. Confirm the exact SKU, length, capacity, attachment weight, mount, end fitting, included hardware, and current displayed price. Supply the telehandler details required for a custom mount, and verify the machine load chart for the planned position and load.

• Exact model and selected option are documented.
• Mounting method matches the telehandler.
• Published capacity and attachment weight are recorded.
• Length and reach suit the work area.
• End fitting and securing hardware are identified.
• Price and availability were checked on the current listing.
• Unpublished information is confirmed directly instead of inferred from another model.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current price of a telehandler truss boom?

On September 2, 2026, eSkidSteer displayed $3,271.45 for the MTJ 2 selection of the Haugen quick-attach truss jib, against a $3,499.99 list price. The fork-slot variants displayed $2,820.99 for MFTJ 12 and $2,957.99 for MFTJ 15. Their compare-at prices were $3,103.99 and $3,253.99. Confirm the live page and selected option because prices can change.

Are longer telehandler truss booms more expensive?

Not necessarily. Length is one price factor, but mount type, capacity, steel structure, end fitting, and the selected SKU also matter. eSkidSteer lists several Haugen quick-attach lengths with a full specification table and variant pricing. Request the exact model and selected price details rather than estimating from another length.

What is the difference between a quick-attach and fork-slot truss jib?

A quick-attach truss jib connects directly to a machine-specific telehandler plate. A fork-slot truss jib slips over compatible fork tines through standard pockets and uses securing hardware. Confirm the coupler or pocket dimensions, machine rating, and exact product configuration before ordering either type.

Does the attachment capacity equal the telehandler capacity?

No. The attachment rating and the telehandler's load-chart rating are separate limits. The attachment weight, boom extension, lift height, load position, and machine configuration can affect the allowable lift. Use the manufacturer's current load chart and the attachment's published specifications for the planned lift.

What should I ask about an intermediate-length model?

Ask for the exact SKU, current price, rated capacity, attachment weight, end fitting, and mount details. The Haugen quick-attach page lists 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, 12 ft, and 15 ft options, with model-level specifications and pricing shown on the current page. Do not copy one model's specifications to another unselected model.
