Rockslide

Drywall Boom Fork Extension and Material Transfer Attachment

Rockslide™ is a removable boom-fork attachment designed to extend the material-transfer reach of a drywall boom. It is particularly useful when porch roofs, balconies, building overhangs or other obstructions prevent the boom fork from being positioned close enough to a doorway or opening.

Rockslide™ creates a controlled sliding surface between the boom fork and the receiving area so crews can transfer drywall and other sheet materials directly toward a cart positioned inside the opening. This can reduce the need to carry or shuffle sheets off the fork and eliminate the time spent assembling temporary ramps from jobsite materials.

Common Applications

• Transfer drywall through doorways obstructed by porch roofs or overhangs

• Extend the effective material-transfer reach of a boom fork

• Slide sheets from the boom fork toward a cart inside the building

• Reduce manual carrying and shuffling during the fork-to-cart transfer

• Replace improvised plywood or lumber ramp setups

• Transfer sheet materials through openings where closer boom positioning is restricted

Why Drywall Delivery Crews Use Rockslide™

Reach beyond common obstructions

Rockslide™ helps bridge the transfer distance created when porch roofs, balconies or other building features prevent the boom fork from moving closer to the opening.

Reduce manual handling

Crews can slide materials toward the receiving cart instead of carrying or repeatedly shuffling sheets between the fork and doorway.

Avoid temporary ramp construction

Rockslide™ provides a reusable, purpose-built transfer surface, reducing the need to locate and assemble scrap materials at each jobsite.

Create a repeatable transfer process

The removable bracket and arm system gives operators a more consistent setup for difficult boom-to-building transfers.
