The Rock Jockey is an innovative lifting accessory which allows you to safely move slabs with a forklift and boom using only ONE OPERATOR. Rock Jockey reduces the opportunity for injury or death which can occur with the typical practice of placing a man in the “shadow” (fall) zone between a stationary object and a moving lift truck. Helps avoid the high cost of on-the-job injury when performing stone transport
