Which attachment is used to lift loads with a forklift to a higher reach?

• A. Work Platform
• B. Jib
• C. Drum Clamp
• D. Carpet Spike

Answer: (B)

A jib attachment turns a forklift into a small crane, letting you lift loads to a higher reach. It extends the lifting distance and angle so you can place materials on elevated racks or into high locations that the standard forks can’t reach. That’s exactly what’s needed when the goal is to lift loads upward rather than just move them at ground level. The other attachments serve different tasks: a work platform is for lifting personnel to elevated work areas; a drum clamp handles drums; a carpet spike handles carpet rolls. When using a jib, always check the forklift’s rated capacity at the extended reach and secure the load properly to prevent instability.
