on industrial lift trucks and rough terrain straight-mast


or extendable-reach forklifts. It has been engineered in
accordance with ASME and is rated for the load capacities as
shown on the load decal on the jib and in the load charts on
our brochure. Star Industries has been manufacturing similar
jibs for approximately 25 years and during this period, the Star
HD Jibs have earned an excellent safety record. They have
proven themselves repeatedly on all types of jobs all over
the United States as well as in Canada, Mexico and South
America.

Installation:
The HD Jib is installed on the forklift by inserting both forks
fully into the fork pockets so that the rear of the Jib is against
the back of the fork. If equipped with “Fork Pin Tabs”, insert
locking pins behind the heel of each fork and secure with hair
pins. If equipped with a “safety chain”, wrap chain around a
strong part of the forklift carriage keeping chain as level as
possible. Chain angle must not exceed 45°. Take as many
wraps as needed to take up the slack, then hook the chain

is an open type it should be replaced with a locking type. If
equipped with safety chain and fork locking pins use both.
