📘 Overview
The Haugen MFTJ is a fork slot telehandler truss jib rated at 2,000 lbs capacity and available in 12' (MFTJ 12) and 15' (MFTJ 15) lengths. Engineered and certified by a third-party Professional Engineer, these truss jibs slip directly onto fork tines using standard 3-1/2" x 7-1/2" fork pockets and are secured with chained keeper pins — no quick attach coupler required. A welded pintle hitch at the end provides the attachment point for rigging and lifting hardware. The all-steel truss structure is built without hydraulics or moving parts, eliminating maintenance concerns and giving operators a dependable, job-site-proven solution for extended lifting reach on telehandlers and forklifts. Made in the USA with a 1-year warranty.
⚙️ Key Features
- 2,000 lbs rated capacity — consistent across both 12' and 15' models; never exceed the capacity of the jib or the host machine.
- Available in 12' and 15' lengths — MFTJ 12 weighs 525 lbs; MFTJ 15 weighs 575 lbs.
- Fork pocket mounting — standard 3-1/2" x 7-1/2" — slips directly onto fork tines; custom pocket sizes available on request.
- Keeper pins chained to the jib — retention pins are always attached to the attachment, preventing loss on the job site.
- Welded pintle hitch at the end — standard lifting attachment point compatible with common rigging hardware.
- No hydraulics or moving parts — simple, maintenance-free truss structure that won't fail from hydraulic leaks or mechanical wear.
- Third-party PE certified — engineering and load ratings certified by an independent Professional Engineer.
- Made in USA | 1-year warranty
🔑 Benefits
- Extends telehandler reach beyond what the boom alone can achieve — the 12' or 15' extension allows loads to be positioned at horizontal distances that even a fully extended telehandler boom may not reach without the jib.
- No moving parts means nothing to break — competing adjustable jibs have telescoping mechanisms, hydraulic cylinders, and locking pins that can fail under heavy use; the MFTJ's fixed-length truss has no failure modes beyond structural overload.
- Switches between machines without adapters — fork slot mounting means this jib works on any forklift or telehandler with standard fork pockets, making it versatile across a mixed machine fleet.
- PE certification supports OSHA compliance on commercial job sites — third-party engineering certification provides documentation for job site inspectors requiring proof of rated capacity and design safety factors.

🔗 Attachment Compatibility
The MFTJ uses a fork slot mounting system — it slips directly onto the fork tines of a telehandler, rough terrain forklift, or standard forklift. Standard fork pocket dimensions are 3-1/2" x 7-1/2" with open ends to fit any fork tine length. Custom pocket sizes are available on request. Keeper pins are chained to the jib and must be installed before use to secure the jib to the forks. The capacity rating is for the jib only — host machine capacity determines the actual lift limit; never exceed either rating.
🚜 Machine Compatibility
Designed for telehandlers, rough terrain forklifts, and standard forklifts equipped with fork carriage. Standard fork pocket size 3-1/2" x 7-1/2" (custom sizes available on request). Compatible with:
| JLG | Genie | Manitou | Skytrak |
| Caterpillar | John Deere |
Compatibility is determined by fork size and capacity, not brand — verify your machine's rated capacity before use. Never exceed the capacity of either the jib or the host machine.
❓ FAQs
|
Q: What is the difference between the MFTJ 12 and MFTJ 15?
Both models have identical 2,000 lb rated capacity. The MFTJ 12 is 12 feet long and weighs 525 lbs; the MFTJ 15 is 15 feet long and weighs 575 lbs. Choose the longer model when maximum horizontal reach is required. Note that the jib's weight (525–575 lbs) counts against your machine's rated capacity at the load center — confirm your machine has sufficient capacity before use. |
|
Q: How is the jib secured to the forks — can it slide off?
The jib slips onto the fork tines through the fork pockets (3-1/2" x 7-1/2" standard size). Keeper pins are then inserted through the pocket at the heel of the fork tine to prevent the jib from sliding forward off the forks. These keeper pins are permanently chained to the jib so they cannot be misplaced on the job site. |
|
Q: Does the jib need hydraulics to operate?
No. The MFTJ is a simple fixed-length truss structure with no hydraulics or moving parts. Lifting is performed by the host machine's normal fork carriage raise/lower function. The jib itself only extends the horizontal reach — all vertical movement is via the host machine. |
|
Q: Is this jib compatible with my telehandler — what fork sizes fit?
The standard fork pocket is 3-1/2" x 7-1/2" — this fits the majority of standard forklift tine dimensions. If your telehandler has non-standard fork widths or heights, Haugen can build custom pocket sizes on request. Contact eSkidSteer at 866-757-8337. |
|
Q: What is the pintle hitch at the end for?
The welded pintle hitch at the tip of the jib serves as the attachment point for rigging hardware — shackles, hooks, chain, or lifting slings connect here to lift the load. Pintle hitches are a standard rigging connection point compatible with most common lifting hardware. |
|
Q: Is this jib PE certified, and does it meet OSHA requirements?
Yes — Haugen fork slot truss jibs are engineered and certified by a third-party Professional Engineer. The certification covers rated capacity and design safety factors. A copy of the engineering certification is available upon request from Haugen Attachments. "Think Quality - Think Safety - Think Haugen." |
