Why are Gorbel® Free Standing Jibs better than the competitors?
1. Full gusset base plates – other manufacturers typically utilize open gussets which can cause a warped effect. Benefits of using full gussets: • stronger base to support the crane • less deflection at the tip of the boom Competitors who use struts: • Spanco • Abel Howe 2.Large head size – other manufacturers utilize a smaller head that can disfigure and damage the crane components leading to difficulty with the operation of the crane. Benefits of larger head: • eliminates crushing of trunnion rollers • decreases deflection Competitors who use smaller head sizes: • Spanco 3. Unique design of trunnion rollers – prevents cutting into the mast, eliminating the need for a wear band. Other manufacturers use smaller trunnion rollers or cams that may actually carve into the pipe during rotation.
