Forklift Jibs – Towing

The MFST200 Slip-On Tow Jib is a dual-purpose attachment that performs the dual functions of lifting and towing. It’s an easy to use forklift attachment that not only tows heavy loads but also has general lifting capabilities. Its design makes it incredibly lightweight, simple to operate, and extremely long-lasting.

As the name suggests, this Slip-On Tow Jib easily connects to a forklift. Two lifting hooks and two fork locking pins help to ensure the jib is secured to forks during operation. This allows your forklift to achieve more and have additional capabilities. It tows up to 500 kg in capacity but has a lifting load limit of up to 2000 kg. A 50 mm tow ball with a safety swivel hook is included.

The Forklift Tow Jib also complies with all Australian standards and requirements.

Please note, that the towing of trailers by a forklift fitted with a tow jib can impose overturning forces on the forklift and additional force on the mast and braking system. The load being towed must be no greater than 25% of the mass of the forklift. Towing should be carried out in a slow, smooth and controlled manner and on level ground. Sharp turning must be avoided at all times to prevent jack-knifing of the trailer.
