When you need more reach from your forklift, our Forklift Booms are the perfect solution for lifting long, heavy loads safely and efficiently. At Lifting365 Ireland, we offer a quality range of forklift boom attachments designed for strength, stability, and consistent performance on Irish worksites.

You can choose from carriage-mounted booms, perfect for dedicated applications like carpet or roll handling, or opt for fork-mounted booms that attach quickly and securely using safety retaining pins. Both options are built to the highest standards, helping you extend your forklift’s capability without needing a crane or additional equipment.

These attachments are widely used across Ireland in construction, warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing—anywhere operators need extra height or reach while keeping lifting safe and controlled. If you're looking for reliable forklift booms in Ireland, our range offers practical, long-lasting solutions to help you lift smarter and work more efficiently—whatever the job demands.

Forklift Booms Attachments

Our range of boom extensions for forklifts are manufactured to the highest of standards and offer long-term strength and durability. Our range is comprehensive and based on the needs of modern companies and plants. We supply both booms that are mounted directly onto the carriage of the forklift truck and fork-mounted booms. Our underslung forklift jib boom is ideal for handling rolls or coiled products, and is available in capacities from 1,000kg to 2,000kg.

Safety retaining pins are used to securely connect the underslung forklift boom to your forklift forks, while the high grade EN19T steel is durable and long-lasting. Safety is a high priority, and safety retaining pins are used to securely connect the underslung forklift boom to the forklift forks. And, all our underslung forklift booms come fully tested and certified. We also supply a range of low-profile forklift booms, which are ideal for handling stacks of rolls or coiled products.

The leading edge nose cone is designed to avoid damage to the roll being handled while offering easy “glide in” pick up. And like our underslung forklift jib booms, these booms are produced in strong EN19T steel, and feature safety retaining pins to secure the boom to your forklift forks. The safety profile of our low-profile booms is enhanced by their ease of use. Large fork pockets allow for quick and easy fitting, meaning little training or downtime. In addition, the free-standing “drive in” feature only requires the operator to fit the boom, minimising any risk of errors.

faqs about forklift booms

What is a forklift boom used for?

A forklift boom is an attachment that allows a standard forklift to lift, reach, and transport long or awkward loads such as steel beams, pipes, or machinery. These attachments help operators safely manage heavy or extended loads while remaining compliant with Republic of Ireland workplace safety regulations.

How do you choose the right forklift boom?

Selecting the right forklift boom depends on your forklift’s capacity, the type of load, and the working environment. Consider whether a standard boom or a low profile forklift boom is better suited for your site’s height restrictions. At Lifting365, we advise matching the boom attachment’s rated capacity to your forklift and checking compatibility with fork size, carriage class, and reach requirements to ensure safe and efficient lifting.

Do you need special training to use a forklift boom?

Yes. Using a forklift boom requires operator training beyond standard forklift operation. We offer product training courses to help ensure customers understand correct setup, load limits, inspection routines, and safe lifting practices in line with Irish workplace safety requirements.

Are forklift booms subject to inspection requirements in Ireland?

Yes. Forklift boom attachments are classed as lifting accessories and must be suitable for their intended use, properly maintained, and examined by a competent person. In Ireland, this is governed by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work General Application Regulations 2007.

Are forklift booms compatible with all forklift models?

Not all booms fit every forklift. Compatibility depends on fork width, carriage class, and lifting capacity. We provide a range of forklift boom attachments, including low profile forklift booms, designed to fit different forklift models safely. Our team can advise on the correct boom for your forklift, ensuring a secure fit and maintaining the rated working load limit.

How does a boom affect the forklift’s stability and capacity?

Adding a forklift boom changes the machine’s load centre, which reduces its effective lifting capacity. Low profile forklift booms may improve manoeuvrability in tight spaces, but operators must always check the forklift’s rated load chart and follow safe handling procedures to maintain stability.
