Tension & Cantilevered Jib Cranes

This crane puts the economy back into this column mounted unit. This inexpensive jib crane provides a fast and
easy to install solution to a localized material handling problem. Our unique design follows the same engineering
criteria as all of our quality products. Easy to install fittings simply bolt to the column and beam. This friction
free 180 rotating crane can also be pushed out of the way when not in use.

PRODUCT FEATURES:
A

Fittings are heavy duty steel weldments, jig welded to insure

proper bearing alignment.

Axles are Grade 8 bolts with lock washers and nuts. Permanently lubricated
bronze shoulders bushings are used.

All units up through 2 ton are supplied with a tension bar, factory cut and drilled
for proper length. This design feature is especially attractive when a kit is ordered. No need to buy and then
thread large, round bar stock - you only need to drill holes to build one of our units.

Fitting is bolted to top flange of I beam, which allows for single location leveling down of the beam if an
adjustment is required.

American Standard I beams, selected to properly handle all imposed forces and loads.

Welded end stops provide a positive and permanent hoist / trolley stop allowing for the maximum in
trolley travel.
Fitting Kits - To be used to build complete cranes in accordance with the information
provided on page H.33. Kits include: 3 fittings painted black, bolts to attach fittings
to crane, tension bar pins and assembly instructions.
