Telehandler Boom and Jib Attachment - Haugen Attachments

📘 Overview

The Haugen MIJ/MIJ-3000 is a forklift jib attachment — an adjustable fork-mounted boom jib for telehandlers and forklifts, extending from 4 to 12 feet through 8 preset positions with load capacities from 2,050 lbs (MIJ standard) to 2,900 lbs (MIJ-3000 heavy duty) at 12 feet. Certified by a third-party Professional Engineer with a 2-to-1 safety factor. Standard fork pocket size 3-1/2" x 7-1/2" with position indicators on the jib so the operator always references the correct load chart for the selected extension. Five hook configurations are available for each duty class — from the base 5-ton Crosby eye hook to dual 10,000 lb swivel hook upgrades (M001–M004 codes). Empty weight: MIJ 525 lbs, MIJ-3000 640 lbs. Made in the USA with a 1-year warranty.

⚙️ Key Features

• Two duty classes: MIJ (standard, 2,050 lbs @ 12 ft) and MIJ-3000 (heavy duty, 2,900 lbs @ 12 ft)
• 8 positions, 4 ft to 12 ft (48" to 144") — manually adjusted with a locking pin at each position; capacity decreases as extension increases.
• Position indicators — marked on the jib so operators can confirm the correct load chart position before lifting.
• Five hook configurations per duty class — base 5-ton Crosby eye hook, or upgrade to 1 or 2 swivel hooks (6,000 or 10,000 lb rated) via M001–M004 order codes.
• Standard fork pockets 3-1/2" x 7-1/2" with chained retaining pins.
• PE certified — 2:1 safety factor — third-party engineering certification with load chart decal on the jib.
• Forks must remain level or slightly rolled back during use — no forward tilt.
• Made in USA | 1-year warranty

🔑 Benefits

• 8 extension positions give precise reach control on every lift — rather than operating at one fixed length, the MIJ lets operators set the exact reach needed for each placement, reducing the machine movements required to position a load and improving precision on tight job sites.
• MIJ-3000 adds 850 lbs of capacity over the standard MIJ at the same 12-ft extension — for operators regularly lifting heavy equipment components, precast elements, or large structural members near the capacity limit, the heavy-duty model provides meaningful margin.
• Swivel hook upgrades (M001–M004) let the same jib serve different rigging setups — operators who normally use a single hook can order the base model and add dual swivel hooks later, or specify the hook configuration at order time, keeping inventory lean.
• Position indicators prevent unsafe use of the wrong load chart — the physical position indicator on the jib arm ensures the operator reads the correct capacity for the current extension, which is the most common cause of overloading on adjustable jibs.

📊 Specifications

🔗 Attachment Compatibility

The MIJ/MIJ-3000 uses a fork slot mounting system — insert fork tines into the 3-1/2" x 7-1/2" pockets, install the chained retaining pins, and disable any hydraulic carriage tilt or swing functions before use. The jib capacity chart (decal on the jib) must be consulted before every use to confirm the capacity at the selected position and host machine configuration. A new down-rated load chart for the telehandler or forklift must be obtained from the machine manufacturer when this attachment is added.

🚜 Machine Compatibility

Designed for telehandlers, rough terrain forklifts, and standard forklifts with fork carriage. Standard fork pocket size 3-1/2" x 7-1/2". Compatible with:

Compatibility is determined by fork pocket size and host machine capacity — verify your machine's rated capacity before use. Never exceed the capacity of the attachment or the host machine.
