Telehandler Fork Slot Truss Jib Attachment - Haugen Attachments

📘 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.

📊 Specifications

📋 Variant Options

🔗 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:

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.
