Skid Steer Industrial Jib Attachment - Haugen Attachments

📘 Overview

The Haugen skid steer boom (MIJ-SKD) is a telescoping boom that mounts to a Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach and telescopes from 5 to 8 feet through seven locked positions, giving 2,000 lbs of lift at full extension. A built-in back angle increases rollback, extra holes on the frame accept additional hooks, and it ships with a 5-ton eye hook. Empty weight 380 lbs.

This is a skid steer jib for reaching over and into things — trenches, truck beds, foundations — rather than a truss boom for setting long spans.

🔧 Where a Short Heavy Jib Beats a Long One

At 5 to 8 feet this is deliberately short. That is the point — capacity on any jib falls as it extends, so a boom that stops at 8 feet holds a useful rating right across its range instead of tapering to almost nothing.

Seven positions between 27.75" and 99.75" let you set the reach to the job rather than working at whatever length the boom happens to be. The built-in back angle adds rollback, which keeps a swinging load under better control than a flat boom does.

If you need to set roof trusses or reach across a span, a truss boom is the right tool. If you need to lift something heavy just beyond where the machine can park, this is.

📐 You Will Need a Down-Rated Load Chart

A jib moves the load out in front of the carriage, which changes what the machine can safely lift. When any attachment is added to a forklift or telehandler, the machine manufacturer's down-rated capacity chart for that combination is what governs.

The jib's chart covers the jib alone. Your machine may be the more restrictive of the two at a given height and reach, and the lower limit always applies. Capacity also falls as a telehandler boom extends — work from the figures at the reach you will actually use.

⚠ Operating Rules — From Haugen's Manual

• Vertical lifting only. Never pull or drag a load with a jib.
• Disable the carriage's hydraulic tilt and swing functions before lifting, and position the mount so the load sits centred on the machine.
• Read the load chart for the position you are set to — not the one you used last time. Misreading the chart is how adjustable jibs get overloaded.
• Safety pins installed and secured with the cotter pin. Optional safety chains are an addition to the pins, never a substitute.
• Operator stays at the controls with the engine running while a load is on the jib.
• Nobody within ten feet of the fall zone, and never any part of yourself under a suspended load. Hard hats and steel toe boots nearby.
• Level, firm ground. Carry loads low and use tag lines to stop them swinging.
• Never lift people. Personnel lifting requires a certified work platform.

Before every use: check the hook, latch and shackle; confirm the pins are in and secured; look for excessive wear and cracked or broken welds; check the lifting holes for elongation; and make sure the load chart decal is present and legible.
