Increased Maneuverability
We’ve reworked our line of articulated jibs to move the balancer to the midpoint of the arm.
This offers 2 advantages:
- Lower weight and inertia at the extremity of the arm where the fastest movement occurs
- Greater headroom at the end of the arm, where maximum headroom is usually important
Advantages of Articulated Jibs
Articulated jibs in general offer advantages over “straight” jibs:
- They can reach around a corner or into an opening, and a straight jib cannot
- A straight jib has a big problem with momentum if the operator is working in the 50% of the boom length closest to the column; an articulated jib has no such problem when loads are close to the column
- Overhead inertia in general is a traditional problem with straight jibs, which is solved to a large extent by articulated jibs
Rated for Moment Capacity
Our articulated jib cranes are rated for their moment capacity, in- lbs. For example, an AJ60 has a moment capacity of 60,000 in-lbs from the column.
We offer articulated jib cranes in these models:
- AJ35 – 35,000 in lbs. about the column
- AJ60 – 60,000 in lbs.
- AJ120 – 120,000 in lbs.
Straight Jib with G-Rail
However, if you choose a “straight” jib crane go with a G-Rail because…
- The weight of the boom is as lightweight as possible which is critical!
- Usually our base plates are large enough that no foundation is required.
