🔨Two section tubular steel boom
📘 Overview
A Star Industries forklift jib boom extends the reach of a forklift so loads can be placed over or under obstacles a carriage cannot get past. Four models cover fixed and telescopic requirements. The fixed 1360B-5FXL, 1360B-6FXL and 1360B-7FXL are 5, 6 and 7 ft, rated 6,000, 5,000 and 4,000 lb respectively. The telescopic 1360B manually extends from 7 ft to 12 ft with four hook positions, carrying 6,000 lb at the closest and 2,000 lb fully extended. All are universal slip-on-forks and suit both straight-mast and extendable-reach machines. One bolted shackle and swivel hook is included.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries 1360B Forklift Jib Boom
- Capacity halves as the boom extends, and then halves again — the telescopic 1360B carries 6,000 lb at the 4 ft hook position and 2,000 lb at 12 ft. The hook position is the rating, not the boom.
- An internal stop prevents the section pulling out — the failure mode on a manually telescoped boom is extending past the engagement point. Star builds in a stop rather than relying on a painted line.
- Fixed booms carry more at the same length — the fixed 5 ft 1360B-5FXL carries 6,000 lb where the telescopic boom at 7 ft carries 4,000. If your reach requirement never changes, fixed is the stronger buy.
- The shackle plate is replaceable — the plate the shackle bears on is the wear point on any jib. Making it replaceable means the boom outlives the plate rather than being scrapped with it.
- Pinned behind the heel, not just resting — the jib slides onto the forks and pins behind the heel, which is what stops it walking forward under a swinging load.

🔗 What Ships With the Jib Boom
Every jib boom arrives with one bolted shackle and swivel hook fitted, so it is ready to rig on arrival. The shackle plate is replaceable as a wear part. On the telescopic 1360B, extension is by pulling a spring-loaded pin and sliding the boom to the position required, where it locks — an internal stop prevents the telescopic section being pulled all the way out. Fork pockets accept forks up to 2.5 inches thick by 7 inches wide at 24 inches centre to centre, and the jib pins behind the heel of the forks to secure it.
🚜 Which Forklifts Fit This Forklift Jib Boom?
The jib is a universal slip-on-forks fit and suits both straight-mast and extendable-reach forklifts. It slides onto the forks and is pinned behind the heel. Fork pockets accept forks up to 2.5 inches thick by 7 inches wide, spaced 24 inches centre to centre, so measure your forks and spacing before ordering. A jib moves the load well forward of the carriage, so the governing limit is the forklift load chart at the resulting load centre rather than the boom rating — on a 12 ft extension that reduction is substantial.

| Fork pockets | Accept forks up to 2.5 in thick x 7 in wide |

❓ Star Industries 1360B Forklift Jib Boom Questions, Answered
Should I choose a fixed or telescopic jib boom?
If your reach requirement is consistent, fixed is stronger: the 5 ft 1360B-5FXL carries 6,000 lb where the telescopic boom at 7 ft carries 4,000 lb. The telescopic 1360B covers 7 to 12 ft on one attachment if reach varies job to job.
How much can the telescopic jib boom lift?
It depends entirely on hook position. The 1360B carries 6,000 lb at the 4 ft position, 4,000 lb at 7 ft, 3,000 lb at 9 ft and 2,000 lb at 12 ft. The hook position is the rating — always use the figure for the position in use.
How does the telescopic boom extend?
Pull the spring-loaded pin, slide the boom to the position you need, and it locks there. An internal stop ensures the telescopic section cannot be accidentally pulled all the way out, which is the main failure mode on manually extended booms.
Is a hook included with the jib boom?
Yes. One bolted shackle and swivel hook is included with every jib boom, so it is ready to rig on arrival. The shackle plate is replaceable as a wear part.
Will the jib boom fit my forklift?
It is a universal slip-on-forks design suiting straight-mast and extendable-reach machines. Fork pockets accept forks up to 2.5 inches thick by 7 inches wide at 24 inches centre to centre — measure your forks and spacing against those figures before ordering.
Does a jib boom reduce my forklift capacity?
Substantially, and more the further it extends. A jib moves the load well forward of the carriage, so the governing limit is your forklift load chart at the resulting load centre rather than the boom rating. Check the chart before lifting.
How is the jib secured to the forks?
It slides onto the forks and is pinned behind the heel. That pin is what prevents the jib walking forward under a swinging load, so it must be fitted before lifting.
What is the boom made from?
A telescopic two section tubular steel boom on the 1360B, with fixed-length versions in the same construction. The replaceable shackle plate takes the bearing load at the hook end.
What warranty comes with the jib boom?
The Star Industries jib booms carry a 5-year factory guarantee and are made in the USA.
