Martatch Skid Steer Jib

The Martatch MTLB78-A is a skid steer attachment designed for lifting, positioning, and placing materials where additional reach is needed. Its telescopic design makes it useful for applications such as moving construction materials, positioning beams and trusses, handling fencing materials, landscaping work, utility tasks, and other material-placement jobs where a skid steer needs more reach than a standard attachment provides.

The MTLB78-A has a 3,000 lb lifting capacity when the boom is retracted to 48 inches. When the boom is fully extended to 78 inches, the rated lifting capacity is 1,500 lb. This difference is important when planning a lifting operation because extending the boom increases reach while reducing the available lifting capacity.

The boom provides an adjustable telescopic reach from 48 inches in the closed position to 78 inches when fully extended. The shorter 48-inch position provides the higher 3,000 lb rated capacity, while the 78-inch extension provides additional reach for placing materials farther from the skid steer, with the rated capacity reduced to 1,500 lb.

The Martatch MTLB78-A is designed for skid steer loaders with a hydraulic flow range of 15–25 GPM. Before purchasing, operators should compare the skid steer's hydraulic specifications with this required flow range to ensure the attachment is appropriate for the machine and intended application.

The MTLB78-A is designed for skid steer loaders and uses a universal skid steer quick-attach mount. The listed hydraulic requirement is 15–25 GPM, so buyers should verify both the quick-attach configuration and hydraulic flow of their specific skid steer before ordering.

Choose the boom position based on both the distance the load must be placed and the weight of the load. At 48 inches of reach, the MTLB78-A is rated for up to 3,000 lb, making the retracted position appropriate when maximum listed lifting capacity is required. At the full 78-inch reach, the capacity is 1,500 lb, providing greater placement distance but a lower rated load capacity. Always keep the load within the applicable capacity for the boom position being used.
