📘 Overview
The Haugen MIJ-A series is a telescoping, spring-assisted pivoting forklift jib attachment with manual extension from 4 to 12 feet and vertical pivot from 0 to 35 degrees. Rated at 2,050 lbs at 12 feet. Includes one 5-ton Crosby swivel hook. Position indicators for correct load chart use. Two variants by pocket size: MIJ-A (2.5"×7.5" pocket, 645 lbs) and MIJ-A-LP (3.5"×7.5" pocket, 851 lbs). The LP (Large Pocket) variant is for larger forklifts and telehandlers with thicker tines. Engineer certified. OSHA/ANSI compliant. Made in USA.

🔑 Benefits
- Vertical pivot to 35 degrees allows the jib to reach loads that are below or above the horizontal — a fixed-angle jib can only reach loads at the same elevation as the pivot point. The 0-35 degree vertical pivot allows the operator to angle the jib downward to pick from ground level, or upward to reach loads elevated above the hook starting position. This is critical in tight spaces where the forklift cannot reposition to change the load angle relative to the jib.
- Spring-assisted pivot reduces operator effort for frequent angle changes — the spring assist counterbalances the weight of the jib arm during pivot, so the operator can adjust the angle without the full arm weight working against them. On high-cycle operations this meaningfully reduces operator fatigue.
- MIJ-A-LP 3.5" pocket allows larger forklifts with thicker tines to use the jib without adapter plates — large industrial forklifts and wheel loader forklifts often have 3.5"-thick tines that are too thick for the standard 2.5" MIJ-A pocket. The MIJ-A-LP provides the 3.5" pocket for these larger machines, delivering the same jib performance without a pocket adapter.
- 5-ton (10,000 lb) Crosby hook provides 5× safety margin on the rigging hardware relative to the jib's 2,050 lb max capacity — using oversized rigging hardware increases safety factor on the component most likely to be inspected and stressed at load point. The 5-ton Crosby hook ensures the weakest point in the system is always the jib structure, not the hook.

🔗 Attachment Compatibility
Select MIJ-A for forklifts and telehandlers with tines fitting a 2.5"×7.5" pocket. Select MIJ-A-LP for machines with tines up to 3.5"×7.5". Verify your tine cross-section before ordering. The 2,050 lb capacity is at 12-foot extension; capacity increases at shorter positions — consult the load chart provided with the jib for position-specific capacity.
🚜 Machine Compatibility
Fork-pocket mounted — slips onto standard forklift or telehandler tines. Compatible with:
| JLG | SkyTrak | Manitou | Toyota |
| Hyster | Caterpillar |
No aux hydraulics required. The 2,050 lb capacity applies only to the jib — always verify against the machine's rated operating capacity at the applicable boom extension and load center. At 645-851 lbs of jib weight, subtract from the machine's available lift capacity before adding load.
❓ FAQs
|
Q: What is the difference between MIJ-A and MIJ-A-LP?
Both are the same telescoping pivoting jib with the same 2,050 lb capacity, 4-12 ft extension range, and 0-35 degree pivot. The MIJ-A fits fork tines that fit a 2.5"×7.5" pocket and weighs 645 lbs. The MIJ-A-LP (Large Pocket) fits tines up to 3.5"×7.5" and weighs 851 lbs. The LP is heavier because the larger pocket frame requires more material. Choose based on your machine's tine cross-section. |
|
Q: What is the difference between MIJ-A and MIJ (Industrial Jib)?
The MIJ (Industrial Jib, product ID 77) uses a fork-slot (pocket) mount, is fixed-angle (no pivot), and comes in standard or heavy-duty (MIJ-3000) variants. The MIJ-A adds the spring-assisted 0-35 degree pivot capability, allowing the operator to change the jib angle for loads above or below the horizontal — useful in tight spaces or elevated placements where repositioning the forklift is not practical. |
|
Q: How do the position indicators work?
The position indicators are markings on the telescoping jib arm that show which position (1-8, roughly corresponding to 4ft through 12ft) the jib is set to. Each position has a different rated capacity on the load chart provided with the jib. The operator checks the position indicator before lifting and refers to the load chart to confirm the rated capacity at that extension. Never lift more than the rated capacity at the indicated position. |
|
Q: Can I add additional swivel hooks to the MIJ-A?
Yes — Haugen offers upgrade kits (H-M001 and H-M002) to add a second swivel hook to MIJ series jibs. Contact eSkidSteer at 866-757-8337 or see the upgrade accessories listed with this product family. |
|
Q: Is the MIJ-A suitable for personnel lifting?
OSHA/ANSI compliance covers material and equipment lifting. For personnel lifting, a separate rated Work Platform must be used, not a swivel hook. Do not use the MIJ-A swivel hook to lift people in baskets or slings without a purpose-designed ANSI-rated work platform attached. Contact eSkidSteer for personnel lifting attachments. |
