Product Description
The Caldwell Model EB-40 Forklift Boom is a forklift attachment engineered to extend the reach and lifting capability of a forklift beyond the tips of the forks, enabling the forklift to lift and position loads in locations that are inaccessible to the forks directly. The boom mounts to the forklift forks, providing a stable and secure platform that transfers the load through the forks to the forklift mast and carriage. A hook at the end of the boom provides the load attachment point, allowing the forklift to handle loads fitted with lifting lugs, eye bolts, shackles, or other hook-compatible attachment hardware.
The EB-40 is well suited for reaching over obstacles, into confined spaces, or to positions where direct fork access is not possible, such as placing equipment over machinery guards, setting loads into recessed areas, or positioning materials in locations with restricted access. As a fixed-length boom, the EB-40 provides a consistent and defined reach distance, making it well suited for repetitive lifting tasks where a consistent boom extension is required and the load placement location is fixed relative to the forklift position.
As a Caldwell product, the Model EB-40 is built to the dimensional and performance standards associated with the Caldwell line of forklift attachments and below-the-hook lifting devices. It should be used only within its rated working load limit and on forklifts with fork dimensions and rated capacity compatible with the boom's mounting requirements, and operated in accordance with Caldwell's specifications and applicable lifting device safety standards including ASME B30.20.
Material: Steel alloy
Compatible With: Forklifts with fork dimensions and rated capacity compatible with the EB-40 mounting requirements Loads fitted with lifting lugs, eye bolts, shackles, or hook-compatible attachment hardware Forklifts rated to handle the combined weight of the boom and suspended load
Uses: Extending forklift reach to access load placement locations inaccessible to the forks directly Placing equipment or materials over obstacles or into areas with restricted fork access Hook-based load handling in manufacturing, construction, warehouse, and maintenance environments Repetitive lifting tasks requiring a consistent and defined boom reach distance
Key Features: Mounts to forklift forks to extend reach beyond fork tips Hook at boom end accommodates loads fitted with lifting lugs, eye bolts, and shackles Extends forklift capability to reach locations inaccessible to the forks directly Fixed-length design provides consistent reach for repetitive lifting tasks Built to Caldwell's forklift attachment and below-the-hook lifting device standards Model EB-40 designation within the Caldwell forklift boom series
Note: Specifications including working load limit, boom length, fork size compatibility, and attachment hardware details should be confirmed against the official Caldwell product catalog or manufacturer documentation prior to ordering. The forklift must be rated to handle the combined weight of the boom and the suspended load. The EB-40 must be operated in full accordance with Caldwell's instructions, the forklift manufacturer's guidelines, and applicable lifting device safety standards.
