The CC165 is a 7 t forklift jib crane, also called a forklift fly jib crane, and the largest in our range. It hangs on the fork carriage of a 10 t counterbalance forklift, has a 180 kN·m maximum lifting moment and works from 2.5 m out to 15.2 m. It needs a hydraulic supply rated at 80 L/min and 20 MPa, and the crane weighs 2,000 kg.
Which forklift the CC165 fits
A forklift jib crane has no outriggers: the forklift is its counterweight. That is why the CC165 is matched to 10 t forklifts, and fitting it to a smaller forklift would tip the forklift forward long before the crane reached its rating. The forklift mast lifts the whole crane, so mast height adds hook height before the boom moves: up to 17,500 mm with a 3 m mast and 19,000 mm with a 4.5 m mast.
How much the CC165 lifts at reach
The 7,000 kg rating applies only close to the mast. Like every moment-rated crane, the CC165 lifts less as the hook moves out, within its 180 kN·m limit. Ask us for the current CC165 load chart drawing and we will check your heaviest load at the radius you need before we quote.
Forklift fly jib crane or mobile crane fly jib?
On a mobile or crawler crane, a fly jib is an extension pinned to the tip of the main boom to gain extra height. A forklift fly jib crane such as the CC165 is a different machine: a complete hydraulic crane that turns a forklift you already own into a small mobile crane for factories, yards, building sites and pits. Compared with a simple fork-mounted jib, it luffs, telescopes and folds back in front of the mast for travel.
What we need to quote the CC165
- Forklift make, model and rated capacity from the data plate
- Mast height and carriage width, plus a side photo of the forklift
- Whether the forklift has an auxiliary hydraulic circuit
- Your heaviest load, the radius it must reach and the highest point to lift to
Our engineers then confirm the model and the installation on your forklift. Figures on this page come from the BOB-LIFT technical drawings.
