Forklift jib boom attachments are much less expensive than jib cranes and can perform almost all of the same tasks at a fraction of the cost and with less heavy equipment on premises. Forklift jibs allow you to reach over obstructions to place heavy loads on roofs, elevated platforms, and decks. You can use them to reach through windows and doorways to pick up loads from second and third story areas still under construction. Forklift & fork truck jibs can also be used to load and unload flatbed trailers and trucks. Many companies use them to suspend trusses and to laminate wood, and jibs can also be very useful when reaching over scaffolding for masonry work. Overall, they are some of the most useful tools you can invest in for moving and handling equipment on a construction site.

Every jib boom forklift attachment is made with two swivel hooks. One hook is fixed at the end of the jib, and the other can be manually fitted to any position on the boom’s underside. This allows you to pick up any load with two hook points. Each hook is individually rated at either 4000 lbs. or 6,000 lbs, depending on the size of the model. You can use one hook or two to pick up a load, but you have to make sure that the total weight of the jib and the load does not exceed the rated capacity of the jib as shown on the load chart for that extended or retracted position.

Easy Rack Fork Truck jibs attachments are intended for use on industrial lift trucks and rough terrain straight-mast or extendable-reach forklifts. Forklift truck jib cranes install on the forklift by inserting both forks fully into the fork pockets. The rear of the jib crane then seats against the back of the fork. A safety chain wraps forklift carriage to hold it in place.

Jib Boom Forklift Attachment Load Capacity

Maximum load capacity for forklift jibs in both the extended or retracted positions range from 1935-6000 lbs. Ask a material handling specialist about load limits for your particular application. Please remember as well that load capacity ratings are for the jib itself and not the forklift nor the maximum load that can be safely handled with a particular forklift. Whenever forklift jibs, or any other attachments for that matter, are added to a fork truck, the new center of gravity created by the attachment, will reduce the lift capacity of the forklift. See our page on “heavy duty jibs” for details on how to calculate these load limits, or, if you lack the time to do the calculations yourself, call a member of our staff.

Fork Trucks & Fork lift Attachment Safe Usage

Before using a forklift jib, be certain that you have properly secured it to the forklift with shackles and hooks. Always double check to make sure that the screw pins are tight. Double check too that your load limit calculations were done correctly, and take into consideration while doing so that rated capacities sometimes decrease when the boom is in a raised position, when the mast is tilted forward, or when the boom is extended with telehandlers.

Never pull a load with a fork lift jib Attachment. These Forklift attachments are designed for vertical lift only. Always carry the load without letting it swing. Any time a load is lifted, use extreme caution to avoid tipping over the fork truck.

Up until now satellite TV programming was simply out of the question for big rig drivers for a number of reasons, so it really was something that RV owners installed in their vehicles. To start with a big rig just couldn’t have something as big as a satellite dish on the roof of their cab unless it was aerodynamic which a satellite dish is far from being.

Secondly the last thing that a driver needs when he pulls in for an over night stop is one more thing on the truck to hassle with and a satellite dish has to be set up and then taken back down and in bad weather it s real job. Thirdly a big dish sitting up on the roof of a cab is just a snag waiting for a place to happen and the last thing a driver needs is the roof of his cab tore open miles and miles from home in rainy weather.

If there is anyone that craves great entertainment though it is the long haul truck driver and that is why they will tolerate the uncomfortable seats in the TV lounges at truck stops just to watch some good satellite TV programming. Now with Mobile Dish from Dish Network satellite TV programming is available for big rigs and there is no satellite dish required at all.

Mobile Dish uses a state of the art low profile and streamlined antenna that hugs the roof of the vehicle to receive the Dish Network programming. This new antenna also never has to be touched again after it is installed, so it works just like any other antenna works and it gets perfect reception every time.

There are currently one-hundred channels available with the Mobile Dish system with more planned on being added in the near future. There are no snags catches or hassles with Mobile Dish and it works just like the satellite TV programming that is received in a home. You simply pick up the TV remote and point and shoot and it’s just that simple.

The really great thing about Mobile Dish from Dish Network is that it receives perfect satellite TV programming while the rig is rolling down the open highway and that’s anywhere in the continental U.S. For team drivers this means that while one man is driving the other can be relaxing in the sleeper watching great satellite TV programming, so he can be relaxed, alert and fresh when it’s his turn to take over behind the wheel.

Mobile Dish also has a great weather channel that you can refer to this winter and with a weather channel on a TV screen you can actually see the satellite pictures of the weather you are going to be encountering. Also, you will be able to see the news pictures of backed up traffic if there is any and any snow fall on the roads. This can be a real money saver, because when a driver is on the road, time is money and every decision regarding delays has repercussions that are felt in the wallet. If you are a long haul driver then Mobile Dish is definatly something worth looking into.

If you are considering buying a horse trailer, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the wide selection available on the market. From front facing to slant load to stock trailers, everyone claims that their trailer is the best and will be perfect for your needs.

Before buying a trailer, you need to consider what you need it for. Will you be showing a lot? Are you traveling long distances? Do you need a space to keep your tack? Then you need to consider what types of horses you will be shipping. Are they large? Small? Will you be shipping many horses, or only one or two? Are the horses good buddies, or are they likely to be strangers? All of these things and more will make a difference as you select your trailer.

Horse trailers come in many loading styles. The traditional two-horse trailer is a rear-loading trailer where both horses stand facing forward with a partition of some sort between them. These trailers are practical for many horse owners, and are easy to find.

Another common style is the head to head trailer. This usually has a side loading ramp, and the horses are set up so that half are facing forward while the other half face backward. Sometimes there is room to fit a small horse or pony in the middle. Generally these are two to six-horse trailers.

Slant loads tend to need more length for less horses, but offer a position that makes traveling easier on the horses. The partitions can be rather snug, giving the horses less wiggle room. Generally the waste space at the front of the trailer is made into storage rooms, suitable for keeping your tack on the trip. The average slant load trailer for three horses is about the same size as a straight load trailer for four horses.

Stock trailers do not have any dividers between the horses, but are often split into two large box stalls. They allow the horses room to choose their own position as they travel. One disadvantage is that there is no protection keeping horses from hurting one another while in transit.

A more recent innovation is the two + one style of trailer. This type of trailer combines a two-horse straight load with a one horse box stall in front. This box stall is small, and can be used for tack and equipment if you do not want to load a horse in it.

Each style of trailer can be found in step up or ramp load. Steps ups can be useful for difficult loaders as there is not hollow-sounding ramp to travel on. Ramps are generally safer though, although steep ramps need to have side panels to keep horses from stepping off the side by accident.

Some trailers come with built in tack rooms, and even changing rooms. While they add length, these can be very useful if you show a lot, or don’t have extra room in your towing vehicle.

Finally, there are two primary types of hitch to consider. Bumper pull hitches are the most common, and can be used with a wide range of vehicles. They are great for smaller trailers, but not as secure for the bigger ones. Horse trailers should never be actually hooked onto a bumper – the hitch must be properly installed onto the frame of the towing vehicle.

Gooseneck hitches are more secure and are perfect for larger trailers. They also offer storage space in the neck, which can be useful if your trailer does not have a tack room. The problem with goosenecks is that you need a pick-up truck to pull them, and the hitch must be installed in the bed of your truck.

While you can find fifth-wheel hitches on horse trailers, they are uncommon.

There are a thousand ways to make extra money. Of course you may not have the knowledge, training or experience to succeed with some of them. Or you may not have enough money to take advantage of some opportunities. That’s why the following methods are all about using what you already have.

Use Your Knowledge of Values

All of us have some idea of what some things should cost, but we are all most familiar with prices in one area or another. Identify those areas where you are best at determining the value of things. This is where the profit opportunity is.

For example, a neighbor of mine could say what a car would sell for within a few hundred dollars. So when he saw a used car for sale and knew it would bring $3,000 after a bit of cleaning, he would offer $1,500 for it. If the answer was no, he quickly moved on until he found a seller ready to get rid of a vehicle cheap. Then he spent an hour or two cleaning up the car and selling it for decent profit.

The principle is what matters here. You Don’t need to know about cars. Ask yourself  what can you put a price on and find a buyer for, and you have a potential source of extra money. One man I knew regularly bought used restaurant equipment for half of what it could be sold for. Engagement rings, dogs, and other things are “turned” for a profit in this way as well.

If you have no cash to invest, you can use credit card advances to do this. If you can make $1000 buying and reselling a coin collection, does $100 in fees and interest matter? Or you can find a partner to finance the deals at first. I have a friend who knows pickup trucks but rarely has cash saved. If he finds a truck for $2,000 that will sell for $4,500, he comes to me. I put up the money for half of the profit and we both do well.

Rent Rooms in Your Home

When  I was younger I had a mobile home on a small lot. I paid off the mortgage, so my expenses were low, but I wanted to make some extra money as well, so I rented the spare bedrooms. The two rooms provided over $7,000 extra income annually, and I had decent renters. Having another person in the house adds little to the utilities, so the rent collected is almost all profit.

Make More Money In Your Business

If you have a business, why not mine your customer list for treasure. For example, if you run a window-cleaning business, you can call all previous customers in a certain area and offer a discount if they would like their windows cleaned the following week. Keeping it to one area makes it efficient so you can still make a decent profit while offering a lower price.

If you have a mailing list of your customers you can offer to present them with an offer from a non-competing business, for a fee or commission. Even customers that you have lost can be a profit source. Just introduce them to a competitor who can better serve their needs, again for a fee.

Sell Affiliate Products

When people visit my backpacking web site they sometimes click on the links I have put there and buy a tent or a sleeping bag. When that happens I get paid commission of about 7%. I just write about a subject that interests me, people come to read my pages, and they sometimes buy products that I link to. It is an example of basic affiliate marketing. Commissions range as high as 75% on some products, by the way, and you can start with a free blog on any topic of interest to you, and so make extra money without investing a dime.

Ford Motor Co. has recently unveiled the show-and-go hot rod 2008 F-150 Foose Edition, which is dressed to cruise the boulevard.

The design created by Chip Foose, the celebrated custom-car guru and host of TV’s “Overhaulin” on the 2008 Ford F-150 stands out from other trucks design although the addition of a nerf bar may also do the Foose Edition F-150 some good. According to Ben Poore, Ford truck group marketing manager, “Fitting Ford’s style, Foose creations aren’t too ‘Pimp My Ride’.”

Poore also added that Foose is more minimalist in his styling and preferred to show a truck’s natural lines. Foose’s designs interest a wide range of consumers. “If you look at who is on his show, there’s a cross section of America.”

Poore said that the initial meeting with Foose was a lot like being a guest on ‘Overhaulin’. Poore has discussed with Foose about creating the F-150 Foose Edition, based on the F-150 FX2 Sport.

The meeting between Poore and Foose transpired at the 2006 Specialty Equipment Market Association convention in Las Vegas, where Foose was hosting his TV show. The plans for the F-150 Foose Edition were discussed on the set at the table where Foose draws and plans custom treatments with guests.

“He did with me what he does with the other people on his show,” Poore said. He says, ‘Ben, what are you looking for in a truck’?” to which Poore replied that he wants a Ford street-rod truck. He added that he wants Foose to take the FX2 and give it a street-rod kind of look. Foose immediately jot down all the information. “He starts scribbling”, Poore said. “You can’t talk to him without his hands starting to move. It’s just amazing.”

Terms such as “tough luxury” and “street-rod tough” bounce around- keeping the toughness of the brand, but getting that street-rod look even more into it, Poore said. Foose also asked where Ford wants to put the most focus, on the interior or exterior. “Absolutely the exterior,” Poore said. Then Foose asked about the wheel size that Ford wants. “At least 20s,” Poore said. “Let’s try to go for 22s,” Foose said, and Poore agreed.

The wheels used for the F-150 Foose Edition are forged, polished wheels wrapped by P275/45R-22 tires. They are covered by flared fenders that give the impression of a lowered look. The show truck is lowered by 1.5 inches which may be different on production model and Foose created an effect to make it look more lowered by putting the body kit with custom rocker panels all the way around the vehicle instead of fitting a chin spoiler up front.

To further enhance the grounded look of the F-150 Foose added some bold racing stripes that begin at the leading edge of the hood. The cascading down stripes narrows significantly at the front fenders and then continuous rearward as a trim band, above door handles, and across to the tailgate. It ends with two wide stripes dipping down the tailgate.

The wide stripes balance out the front design elements of the F-150. For exhausts, Foose selects squarish dual outlets to match the shapes of the ducts in the front chin spoiler. The dual exhausts were derived from Ford Racing parts, providing the F-150 Foose Edition the most potent engine in an under-8,500-GVWR-class pickup. It’s a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8, revving up 450 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of potent torque mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.

Poore said, “This will be the fastest truck in the lineup, absolutely. —Its tremendous power off the line. If you are going to cruise the highway and you get the rpm up and you just let it kick in, it just keeps going, and going and going.” He also added that the powertrain and the exterior is where most of the extra attitudes are invested stressing the fact that the FX2 interior already contains some special touches.

The changes on the interior design o fteh F-150 Foose Edition were made minimal. Its center console armrest is fitted with a full-leather, while the front headrests were provided with contrast stitching and are embossed with the Foose signature. Ford carpeted floor mats with the Foose logo were also added. A personalized build sequence badge turns the F-150 into an official Foose creation.

For admirers who are dying to know the source of the remarkable F-150’s design, there are “FOOSE DESIGN” badges on the rear flanks. Ford may also take things further by substituting the F-150 badges on the front fenders with “FOOSE F-150” badges.

Ford’s F-150 Foose Edition is scheduled for sale in the first quarter of 2008. No announcements yet have been made with regards to pricing of the number of limited-edition pickups that are to be produced. “They will not be easy to come by,” Poore said.

Living with the utilitarian Chevy S 10 has been a fact of life since its introduction in 1981 as a 1982 model. This compact pickup lasted as the top small truck in Chevy’s stable of vehicles for 22 years until it was replaced for 2004 by the Chevy Colorado. Today, there are still countless numbers of the little truck on America’s highways and byways.

Officially classed as a compact pickup, the Chevy S 10 ran side-by-side with the GMC version known as the S 15 (and later, as the Syclone) for a time. The S 10 itself took over the small truck duties from the Chevy Luv, which was just an Isuzu KB with the Chevy bowtie emblem on the grill and a few minor cosmetic changes. Born as a result of the oil shocks of the 1970s, the S 10 was an effort by Chevy to improve fuel economy in its trucks.

From that search for a fuel-sipping alternative to the gaz-guzzlers of the time, the S 10 came forth. Its debut as a 1982 model showed the promise that was inherent in the truck — which was a regular cab 2-door version, though crew and extra-cab models would evolve eventually. The S 10 also beat Ford to the 2-door SUV market, becoming the Blazer S 10, though no 4-door would be available until 1990.

General Motors, the parent of Chevrolet, began to put out a number of small trucks and SUVs beginning in 1982. The S 10 itself was a well-liked and mechanically proficient model for well over 25 years, and for a time was a favorite of backyard do-it-yourself wrench types due to its relatively straightforward engine/transmission setup.

Engines in the Chevy S 10 have been of the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder variety for as long as it was around. The initial 4 that was offered was a carryover engine from the Luv. Back then, the 84 horses the engine offered was considered fairly good, along with the 101 pounds-feet of torque. Again, for 1982, there was not much complaining from a public used to truly mundane engine performance due to environmental engine controls.

Chevy also offered a 2. 4 liter V6 optional engine from the start and through 1985. It had a 2-barrel carburetor that helped to up engine outpower to 115 horses and added 148 pounds feet of torque to the mix. This gave the little truck a bit more off-the-line power. There was even a diesel engine from ’83 to ’85, though its 58 horses and 98 pound-feet quickly doomed it to irrelevance.

Over the life of the S 10, Chevy continued to offer both 4 and 6 cylinder plants and also worked to add more horses and more torque as the truck matured. Originally offered with a normally-aspirated fuel-feeder setup, Chevy eventually tossed the carburetor for variants of a fuel injection system, including sequential port, multi-port and throttle body set-ups. The Chevy S 10 also featured 3 and 4-speed trannies in the first generation (up through ’93) and even a Borg Warner manual in 5-speed dress.

The second-generation S 10 that ran from 1994 up through 2004 added to the fun, with even more 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive models, larger and more powerful engines and even an SS package with a hot 4. 3 liter V6 engine that put out from 180 to 195 horsepower. It had lowered suspension, 16-inch wheels and other cosmetic changes and was only available in a regular cab version. It was discontinued in 1998.

The Chevy S 10 is still a ubiquitous sight on the roads, highways and trails of North America. It was an extremely popular little truck, and came to be thought of as a vital part of Chevy’s effort to bring reliability and economy to the truck segment in the company’s lineup. As a chord in the Chevy ‘Heartbeat of America’ theme’s music, it played its role well.

If you trade a business property or investment for other business or investment property of a similar nature, you need not pay any tax on such transaction.

There are some business transactions where you trade your business property in order to get a more appropriate one.  In such transaction, you need not pay any tax on the gain or claim any loss unless you sell that exchanged property.  There are six main conditions which such a trader must meet in order to be eligible.

1. The property you are trading must be a business property or an investment property.  If the property is a personal property, like your home or your family car, then such trade does not qualify for non taxable treatment.
2. The property which you trade and the property which you get back in exchange must not be for sale.  So if you trade for merchandise, it will not be eligible under this category.
3. The property should not be bonds, stocks, notes, certificates of trust or beneficial interest, including partnership interests.  You can have a non taxable trade of corporate stocks, but under a different rule.
4. The trade must be for a similar property.  So the trade of real estate should be for real estate.  Similarly, the trade of an apartment for a store building or trader of panel truck or a pickup truck can be considered as trader of like property.  However the trade of a machine for a store building cannot be treated as a like property.  Similarly personal property used mainly in United States with the personal property used mainly outside United States cannot be considered as a trade of like property.
5. The trader has a time limit of 45 days.  So the property which you intend to receive must be identified in writing within 45 days from the date you transfer your property.
6. The property which you intend to receive must be received before 180th day from the date you transfer your property in the trade deal or before the due date for filing your tax return, whichever is earlier.

You should not trade the property with your related party.  If you do that there will be special considerations for the treatment of such property.

You can also have a partly non-taxable exchange.  So if you receive some money or and similar property in addition to the like property, IRS treats it as a partly non-taxable trade.  In this case, you are required to pay taxes on the gain which you make out of such receipt of cash or non similar property.  Remember, you cannot claim a loss in such exchange.

The reporting of such transaction – You have to report the trade of like property on form 8824.  If you are able to figure a recognized gain or loss on form 8824, you need to report it on form 4797 or on schedule D of form 1040.
