I-Beam
Jib Crane
The Gorbel Free Standing I-Beam Jib Crane delivers exceptional versatility and efficiency with three mounting options: base-plate, insert, or sleeve-mounted configurations.

An in-head, enclosed bottom-entry collector assembly allows easy power integration for 360° rotation, either initially or as a future upgrade. For added safety, a robust head-retaining pin prevents accidental upward dislodgement.
- 3 mounting styles: base plate mounted, insert mounted, sleeve mounted
- Up to 10,000 lbs. of capacity
