Product Description
The Caldwell Telescopic Fork Boom is a forklift attachment engineered to extend the reach 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 telescopic design allows the boom length to be extended or retracted within its range, providing adjustable reach to accommodate varied load placement requirements without repositioning the forklift. 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 telescopic fork boom is particularly well suited for reaching over obstacles, into confined spaces, or to elevated positions where direct fork access is not possible, such as placing equipment over machinery guards, setting loads into recessed areas, or positioning materials on elevated platforms or mezzanines. The ability to adjust the boom extension allows the operator to optimize the reach for each specific lift, balancing load capacity against extension length in accordance with the boom's rated capacity at each extension position.
As a Caldwell product, the telescopic fork boom 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 at each extension position 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 boom 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 at the required extension
Uses: Extending forklift reach to access load placement locations inaccessible to the forks directly Placing equipment or materials over obstacles, into confined spaces, or onto elevated platforms Applications requiring adjustable reach for varied load placement requirements Hook-based load handling in manufacturing, construction, warehouse, and maintenance environments
Key Features: Telescopic design provides adjustable boom extension for varied reach requirements 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 Adjustable extension allows optimization of reach versus load capacity for each lift Built to Caldwell's forklift attachment and below-the-hook lifting device standards
Note: Working load limit varies with boom extension length — rated capacity at each extension position must be confirmed against the official Caldwell product catalog or manufacturer documentation prior to use. The forklift must be rated to handle the combined weight of the boom and the suspended load at the required extension. The telescopic fork boom must be operated in full accordance with Caldwell's instructions, the forklift manufacturer's guidelines, and applicable lifting device safety standards.
