📘 Overview
The Star Industries 1360B Forklift Mounted Jib Boom extends your forklift or telehandler's reach by up to 12 feet with a maximum capacity of 6,000 lbs at 4' extension — enabling precise load placement over and under obstacles that a standard forklift cannot reach. The two-section tubular steel boom telescopes manually from 7' to 12' with a spring-loaded pin system and internal stop to prevent accidental over-extension. Fixed-length models (5', 6', 7') deliver 2,000–6,000 lbs at their set extensions. Includes one swivel hook; slides onto fork tines and pins behind the heel for secure universal mounting. OSHA below-the-hook compliant. Star Industries backs every attachment with a 5-year factory guarantee — USA made since 1981.
⚙️ Key Features
- 1360B (Adjustable): 7' to 12' telescoping reach | 2,000–6,000 lb capacity by position
- Fixed models: 1360B-5FXL (5' @ 2,000 lb) | 1360B-6FXL (6' @ 5,000 lb) | 1360B-7FXL (7' @ 4,000 lb)
- Spring-loaded pin telescoping — pull to extend, release to lock at position
- Internal stop — prevents accidental over-extension of telescopic section
- Slides onto fork tines, pins at heel — universal fit for most forklifts and telehandlers
- One swivel hook included — rated 6,000 lbs; additional hooks available
- Fork pocket: 30" × 7-1/2" × 3-1/2" ID | 24" center-to-center
- OSHA compliant below-the-hook device | 5-year factory guarantee | USA made since 1981
🔑 Benefits
- Eliminates crane rental for overhead and over-obstacle lifts — crane rentals run $500–2,000+/day with minimum call-out fees and scheduling lead time. The 1360B mounts in minutes to your existing forklift and handles the majority of construction and industrial overhead lifts at a fraction of the cost with no scheduling constraints.
- 12' reach accesses spaces where cranes and telehandlers with fixed booms cannot operate — the telescoping design allows the boom to be retracted for travel and approach, then extended precisely to the required position. This is critical in interior construction, loading dock work, and tight-lot industrial settings where a crane cannot swing freely.
- Four hook positions on the adjustable 1360B provide 2,000–6,000 lb capacity across the working range — the load chart covers position 1 (4', 6,000 lb) through position 4 (12', 2,000 lb), allowing operators to select the position matched to the specific lift without swapping booms or rigging.
- Fixed-length models eliminate the one failure point of adjustable booms — pin security under load — in environments where the same lift distance is performed repeatedly, fixed-length models (5', 6', 7') eliminate the spring-loaded pin mechanism entirely, providing a simpler, lower-maintenance option for high-cycle operations.

🔗 Attachment Compatibility
Universal fork-mounted design fits most straight-mast and extendable-reach forklifts. Fork pockets accept tines with 30" minimum length at 24" center-to-center. Must pin the boom behind the heel of each fork and use chain/choker around the fork carriage before use. Do NOT use to carry or elevate personnel.
🚜 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with forklifts and telehandlers — slides onto standard fork tines:
| Toyota | Crown | Hyster | Yale |
| Cat | Clark | JLG | SkyTrak |
Must pin behind fork heel and use safety chain around fork carriage. Confirm forklift de-rated capacity before use. DO NOT use to elevate personnel.
❓ FAQs
|
Q: What is the difference between the 1360B adjustable and the fixed-length models?
The 1360B adjustable telescopes from 7' to 12' with a spring-loaded pin that locks at 4 positions (4', 7', 9', 12'). This provides flexibility for varied lift distances. The fixed-length models (1360B-5FXL at 5', 1360B-6FXL at 6', 1360B-7FXL at 7') have no telescoping mechanism and are designed for repetitive lifts at a consistent distance. Fixed models offer simpler operation and eliminate the telescoping pin as a potential maintenance point. |
|
Q: How do I calculate my forklift's capacity when using the 1360B?
When using the 1360B jib, your forklift's rated capacity must be de-rated to account for the jib's weight and center of gravity offset. Subtract the jib moment (jib weight × horizontal CG) from your forklift's rated moment capacity to determine the allowable load at each hook position. The 1360B weighs 585 lbs with a CG of 36-5/16" retracted. Never exceed the load chart values on the jib OR your forklift's de-rated capacity — whichever is lower governs the safe lift. |
|
Q: Can the jib boom be used with a telehandler?
Yes — the 1360B is designed for both straight-mast forklifts and extendable-reach telehandlers (telehandlers). The universal fork-mounted design fits most telehandler fork carriages. Confirm fork pocket dimensions (30" length, 24" center-to-center) are compatible with your telehandler's forks before use. |
|
Q: How many hooks can be used at one time?
Multiple hooks can be used simultaneously, but the total load on all hooks combined must not exceed the rated capacity for the most extended hook position. For example, if hooks are at positions 3 and 4 simultaneously, the combined load cannot exceed 2,000 lbs (the position 4 rating). Using multiple hooks does not increase the rated capacity — it distributes a load that must stay within the most-extended position's rating. |
|
Q: Is the jib OSHA compliant?
Yes — the Star Industries 1360B is an OSHA below-the-hook lifting device compliant with applicable standards for forklift jib attachments. Pre-use requirements include: inspecting all shackles and hooks, confirming cotter pins are installed, pinning the boom behind the fork heel, and using a chain around the fork carriage. The jib must NEVER be used to carry or elevate personnel. |
|
Q: What is included with the 1360B?
The 1360B includes one swivel hook rated at 6,000 lbs (positioned at the load chart's 4' position). One bolted shackle is also included. Additional hooks can be added but total load must not exceed the rated capacity for the most extended position. Operating manual and safety information are included. |
