General description of FB1-2720 Forklift BoomThe FB1-2720 Forklift Boom is a telescopic two-section steel attachment designed for 2.0–2.5 tonne forklifts. Constructed from high-strength Australian rectangular tube steel (AS1163-450 LO, 450 MPa), it delivers stable load handling and improved visibility in confined spaces such as containers and workshops. Four hook positions provide variable reach and lifting capacity to suit typical on-site material handling tasks. A 12-month warranty is included.
Key features of the Forklift Boom- Heavy-duty rectangular steel construction (AS1163-450 LO) for consistent structural performance.
- Telescopic two-section manual design, extends from 975 mm to 2,724 mm with four hook positions.
- Working Load Limit (W.L.L.) ranges from 2,000 kg (retracted) to 600 kg (extended), dependent on forklift capacity.
- Mechanical locking pins secure boom extension during handling.
- Compact geometry retains operator visibility and ensures stable load control in confined areas.
- Compatible with 2.0–2.5 tonne forklifts and fork pockets sized 154 × 61 mm.
