Gorbel's Free Standing Jib Cranes are ideal for heavier loads from 1 to 5 tons (heavier capacities available, contact the factory), with spans to 20 feet. They are also available in motorized or manual rotation, in floor-mounted or insert styles. Gorbel I-Beam Jib Cranes are versatile and well-suited for use beneath traveling cranes, in open areas where they serve several work areas, in outdoor applications such as loading docks, and in machining and assembly operations. Utilize I-beam boom assemblies for heavier capacities and longer spans.
Features:
Precision tapered roller bearings in top pivot and trunnion assemblies provide smooth operation and long life
Full supporting triangular base plate gussets are used (in lieu of struts) to minimize crane deflection, thus making it easier to accurately position loads
Independent head assembly, installed separately from the boom for easier installation
Recessed bearing assembly allows greatly reduced clearances needed for installation
Bolted head/boom connection which permits separate installation and provides maximum lift for the hoist, since it can be installed very close to the underside of the lower ceiling obstruction for greater headroom
In-head totally enclosed, bottom entry collector assembly allows the option of easily adding power to the hoist for 360 degree rotation at the time of or after purchase
Optional power rotation
Use for:
Circular coverage areas
Outdoor applications such as loading docks
Applications underneath large bridge cranes
Open areas where the jib can serve several areas
Machining or assembly applications where it can be overlapped with other jibs to provide staged coverage
