Freestanding Jibs
Freestanding "A" Series
Our Heavy Duty 'A' Series freestanding jib cranes are designed and constructed for industrial use with years of trouble-free service. The jib crane boom is fabricated out of a steel "S" or "W" shaped I beam and have removable end stops. A machined lower roller carriage is housed in the jib crane head section which feature heavy steel side plates. The lower roller carriage is mounted on adjustable tension bolts to allow for field adjustments. The support column for the jib crane is constructed out of steel pipe with a heavy base plate and reinforcing gussets. Contrx jibs are designed for indoor use, and can be custom-modified for most outdoor applications.
We have a large line of freestanding jib cranes with capacities from 500 lb. to 10,000 lb. Standard boom lengths and clearance below the boom range from 8'-0" to 20'-0".
Types of floor mounted A-jib installations:
Foundation Mounted
This method of mounting bolts the jib crane column to a pre-poured concrete footer. Once the jib crane column is secured to the footer a second concrete pour finishes the jib crane foundation and embeds the jib crane column in the foundation. The remainder of the jib is the same as the base plate mount jib crane.
Sleeve Mounted
A sleeve mounted jib crane is similar to the Foundation Mount. Instead of the jib crane column, a steel sleeve is anchored to the concrete footer and embedded in the concrete foundation. The jib crane column is then inserted into the sleeve and held in place with a set of split collars that are welded to the column and the embedded sleeve.
Freestanding "B" Series
Contrx brand "B" series jib cranes are well engineered and constructed machines at economical prices. The upper pipe assembly is jig welded to assure accuracy. Two heavy duty lower thrust rollers with lubrication-free Teflon bearings assure smooth operation as the boom rotates on a tapered roller bearing atop the column assembly. The steel base plate and the column pipe are welded together mechanically to insure a square connection. Contrx jibs are designed for indoor use, and can be custom-modified for most outdoor applications.
We have a large line of freestanding jib cranes with capacities from 500 lb. to 10,000 lb. Standard boom lengths and clearance below the boom range from 8'-0" to 20'-0".
