Truss Jibs

A truss jib is actually utilized in order to pick up and place trusses. It is an extended jib additional part that is outfitted together with a pyramid or triangular shaped frame. Normally, truss jibs are mounted on machinery such as a skid steer loader, a compact telehandler or even a forklift using a quick-coupler attachment.

Older style cranes that have deep triangular truss jibs are usually assemble and fastened utilizing bolts and rivets into standard open structural shapes. There are hardly ever any welds on these style jibs. Each and every bolted or riveted joint is prone to corrosion and thus needs regular upkeep and check up.

Truss jibs are built with a back-to-back collection of lacing members separated by the width of the flange thickness of an additional structural member. This design can cause narrow separation among the flat surfaces of the lacings. There is little room and limited access to clean and preserve them against rusting. Numerous bolts loosen and corrode inside their bores and must be replaced.
