Jib Cranes in Action: US Capitol Building

From Gorbel Inc.
 

 

The Problem: Architects at the capitol building were concerned with the capacity and the safety of the old system. They wanted something that would allow workers to walk right up to the crane system.

Why Gorbel is the Smart Solution: The Gorbel Jib allows one person to safely perform the entire operation on the roof. The motorized feature prevents the awkward and time consuming boom rotation that took place using the old system.
