Freestanding Jibs
These jib cranes are self supporting cranes. The jib rotates on a Timken tapered roll bearing and revolves 360 degrees around the pillar on a pair of steel rollers equipped with self aligning roller bearings.
Foundation mounted jib cranes are stabilized in a concrete foundation. A removable sleeve is available if the crane is to be moved in the future.
