For heavy duty, high productivity applications 

Free Standing Jib Cranes are Gorbel’s most versatile crane. They are perfect to place underneath large bridge cranes, in open areas where they can serve several work stations, in outdoor applications such as loading docks, or in machining and assembly operations where they can be overlapped with other jibs to provide staged operation. 

Gorbel’s Advantage: 

Ease of Operation 

• Allows operators to position loads precisely, effortlessly and efficiently 
• 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 

Ease of Installation 

• 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 
• Movable bolted trolley stops 
• In-head totally enclosed, bottom entry collector assembly allows the option of easily adding power to the hoist for 360° rotation at the time of or after purchase 

Safety 

• Head retaining pin provides resistance to accidental upward dislodgement of the head 

Full Rated Capacity 

• Pre-engineered for use with powered hoists. A factor of 15% of the jib crane capacity is allowed for the hoist and trolley weight with an additional 25% of the capacity allowed for impact, thus giving full rated capacity use of the jib.
