The motorized jib cranes can achieve 360° continuous rotation with electrical collector rings that can be furnished for customers who desire continuous rotation.

Replacement parts are available for almost every jib we have ever built and can be sourced from the S.O. Number (Shop Order Number) found on the Jib Crane Name Plate and on the user manual. Additionally, the invoice number can be used to identify the jib crane.
