Aardwolf Forklift Boom

Aardwolf Forklift BoomAardwolf Forklift Booms are telescoping rectangular-tube steel booms that turn a forklift into a slab-lifting crane, letting you reach into containers and set stone where a fork cannot. Each boom extends manually in fixed increments and carries its full rating only when fully retracted — capacity drops as the boom extends because leverage increases. The FB1-2720 carries 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) retracted and 1,102 lb (500 kg) extended, reaches 63.4" to 107.2", weighs 201 lb (91 kg), and suits 2 to 2.5 ton forklift trucks. Larger models in the range are listed below with their own ratings. All are built from AS1163-450 LO rectangular tube steel with a swivel hook, and the extensions are designed so they cannot be pulled all the way out. Features The boom extension is designed so it cannot be pulled all the way out The boom is firmly secured onto fork blades by two bolts located at the back of each fork pocket and restraint pins Specifications FB1-2720 Property Detail WLL fully retracted 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) WLL fully extended 1,102 lb (500 kg) Boom length range 63.4" – 107.2" (1,610–2,724 mm) Sections / increments 2-section, 2 increments × 21 7/8" (~556 mm) Fork pocket size 6.1" x 2.4" (154 x 61 mm) Fork pocket center distance 14 3/8" (365 mm) Net Weight 201 lb (91 kg) Gross/Packaging Weight 220 lb (100 kg) Packaging Dimensions 68 7/8" × 24 3/8" × 16 1/8" (L1750 x W620 x H410 mm) Material AS1163-450 LO rectangular tube steel Compatible forklift 2 – 2.5 ton Operation Manual telescoping; swivel hook standard Standards Built to current lifting safety guidelines Country of Origin Vietnam Notes "FB" = Forklift Boom FB2-3580 Property Detail WLL fully retracted 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) WLL fully extended 1,322 lb (600 kg) Boom length range 82.9" – 141" (2,107–3,580 mm) Sections / increments 2-section, 3 increments × 19.3" (491 mm) Fork pocket size 5.9" x 2.4" (150 x 61 mm) Fork pocket center distance 14.8" (377 mm) Net Weight 300 lb (136 kg) Gross/Packaging Weight 322 lb (146 kg) Packaging Dimensions 88.6" L x 24.8" W x 21.7" H (L2250 x W630 x H550 mm) Material AS1163-450 LO Compatible forklift 3-ton and larger Operation Manual telescoping; swivel hook Standards Built to current lifting safety guidelines Country of Origin Vietnam FB2LP-3600 Property Detail WLL fully retracted 5,291 lb (2,400 kg) WLL fully extended 1,322 lb (600 kg) Boom length range 83.5"–141.9" (2,121–3,603 mm) Sections / increments 3-section telescoping, 19.4" (494 mm) per increment Net Weight 295 lb (134 kg) Material AS1163-450 LO Compatible forklift 3-ton and larger (low profile / container work) Operation Manual telescoping; low-profile for container unloading Standards Built to current lifting safety guidelines Country of Origin Vietnam Fork Pocket Size 6.5" x 2.6" (165 x 65 mm) Fork Pocket Centers 14.8" (377 mm) FB3-5380 Property Detail WLL fully retracted 5,291 lb (2,400 kg) WLL fully extended 661 lb (300 kg) Boom length range 87" – 212" (2,210–5,380 mm) Sections / increments 3-section Material AS1163-450 LO Compatible forklift 3-ton and larger Operation Manual telescoping Standards Built to current lifting safety guidelines Country of Origin Vietnam Net Weight 359 lb (163 kg) Gross Weight 381 lb (173 kg) Packaging Dimensions 92.5" x 24.8" x 22.8" (2,350 x 630 x 580 mm) Fork Pocket Size 6.5" x 2.6" (165 x 65 mm) Fork Pocket Centers 14.8" (377 mm) FB3LP-5420 Property Detail WLL fully retracted 5,280 lb (2,400 kg) WLL fully extended 660 lb (300 kg) Boom length range 87" – 213" (2,210–5,420 mm) Sections / increments 3-section (low profile), 16 increments × 7.9" (200 mm) Hook positions 5 positions: 87", 118.5", 150", 181.5", 213" Fork pocket size 2.6" × 6.5" (66 × 165 mm) Fork pocket center distance 14.8" (376 mm) Net Weight 359 lb (163 kg) Material AS1163-450 LO Compatible forklift 3-ton and larger (low profile / container work) Operation Manual telescoping; swivel hook, 5 hook positions Standards Built to current lifting safety guidelines Country of Origin Vietnam Increments 31.5" (800 mm) per section Sections 3-section telescoping Gross Weight 379 lb (172 kg) FB4-4800 Property Detail WLL fully retracted 6,614 lb (3,000 kg) WLL fully extended 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) Boom length range 110" – 189" (2,800–4,800 mm) Net Weight 437 lb (198 kg) Material AS1163-450 LO Compatible forklift 5 – 8 tonne Operation Manual telescoping Standards Built to current lifting safety guidelines Country of Origin Vietnam Sections / Increments 2-section telescoping, 39.4" (1,000 mm) per increment Fork Pocket Size 7.6" x 3.2" (193 x 81 mm) Fork Pocket Centers 20.5" (520 mm) Gross Weight 463 lb (210 kg) Compatibility Refer to the Specifications table above for the Compatible Materials field of each variant.
