Gorbel™ Work Station Jib Cranes provide coverage in circular areas not served by a main crane. They are ideal for supporting tool balancers, air balancers, hoists, vacuum lifters and welding wire feeders. They can handle up to 200° rotation when column or wall mounted, and up to 360° rotation when floor mounted.

- 360° rotation
- Designed to support tool balancers, air balancers, vacuum lifters, and hoists.
Features:
- Easier to move and position than traditional I-beam jibs
- Most can be bolted directly to existing floors without adding special foundations
- A retaining pin through the pivot pin helps resist accidental upward dislodgement of the boom assembly
- The steel enclosed track work station jibs weigh less and rotate easier than traditional
I-beam cranes

- 200° rotation
- Can be mounted to a wall or column
Features:
- Available in steel (all capacities) or stainless steel (capacities to 500 lbs.)
- Uses enclosed track for the boom assembly, which reduces dead weight for easier rotation than traditional I-Beam Jib Cranes
Aluminum Tie Rod Jib Cranes - 200° Rotation
An aluminum tie rod jib cranes utilizes Gorbel's™ patented light weight, high-strength extruded aluminum enclosed track for its boom. This revolutionary new aluminum track reduces the rotational dead weight of the boom by 56% to 68%, which allows 40% more rotation than a traditional I-beam jib.

- Coverage: circular, Standard spans to 20'
- 200° rotation
- Made of lightweight aluminum enclosed track
- Tie rod minimizes deflection for more precise positioning
Features:
- Aluminum enclosed track make it 40% easier to move than a comparable I-Beam Jib
- Can be mounted to a wall or column
- Reduced deadweight of boom
Free Standing Tool Solution Jib Cranes - 180°/200° Rotation
Tool solution jib cranes are durable, lightweight options for applications with suspended tooling or light duty lifting. The small footprint of these cranes allows for installation in small areas, such as in between machines.
- Capacities of 50 lbs. and 150 lbs.
- Coverage: Circular 50 lb. standard spans from 4' to 10'
- 150 lb. standard spans from 4' to 12'
- Standard heights from 8' to 10'
- 50 lb, 180° rotation; 150 lb, 200° rotation
- Designed to be smaller, lighter and more cost effective for applications with suspended tools
Features:
50 lb.:
• No foundation required
• Simple 4 bolt installation allows for easy adjustment of the height under boom
• Small bracket centers allow for reduced headroom requirements
150 lb.:
• No foundation required
• An adjustable friction brake limits over swing during highly repetitive cycles
• Tapered roller bearings for easy operation, installation, and maintenance
• Small bracket centers allow for reduced headroom requirements
Wall Mounted Tool Solution Jib Cranes - 180°/200° Rotation
Wall mounted tool solution jib cranes are perfect for tight work spaces. The small bracket centers make them ideal for low headroom applications. The crane’s slim 4 inch square mast allows installation without a foundation where floor space may be limited in free standing models.
