Gorbel
Articulating Jib Cranes
Gorbel Articulating Jib Cranes are engineered to position loads in areas unreachable with traditional jib cranes, offering exceptional rotation and responsiveness throughout the entire coverage area. These cranes excel at maneuvering around corners, into machines, and beneath overhead obstructions, making them ideal for precise material handling in tight or complex workspaces.
For lighter applications, the Gorbel PIVOT PRO series provides a streamlined, easy-to-move articulating solution designed for loads under 150 lbs. Its lighter, less bulky construction enhances operator control and efficiency, especially in environments that demand frequent, ergonomic load positioning.
Products
Freestanding Articulating Jib Crane
Gorbel’s Freestanding Articulating Jib Crane is engineered for versatile use within work cells, through open doorways, and into machinery. Its smooth, responsive articulation makes it ideal for precise material handling in tight or obstructed spaces.
- Up to 2,00 lbs. capacity
- 360° rotation, at each pivot point
- Up to 16’ span of circular coverage
- Can be used with hook mounted lifting devices (air, vacuum, or electric
Ceiling Mounted Articulating Jib Crane
The Ceiling Mounted Articulating Jib Crane can be installed as a stationary unit or supported on a platform, allowing it to operate outside the normal coverage zone of a bridge crane or swing easily under obstructions. When mounted to a platform, a single jib can efficiently service multiple work cells, maximizing flexibility and workflow efficiency.
- Up to 2,000 lb. capacity
- 360° degree rotation at each pivot point
- Up to 16’ span of circular coverage
- Can be used with hook mounted lifting devices (air, vacuum, or electric)
Wall-Mounted Articulating Jib Crane
The Gorbel Wall Mounted Articulating Jib Crane is engineered for applications that require precise load handling under or around obstructions, making it ideal for tight or irregular workspaces. Mounted to an existing wall or column, it provides smooth, responsive movement while delivering reliable material handling performance without consuming floor space.
- Up to 2,000 lbs capacity
- 200° rotation on primary boom
- Up to 16’ span of circular coverage
- Mounts to wall or column
Freestanding PIVOT Pro
The Freestanding PIVOT Pro is ideal for vacuum lifting and other light-capacity applications, offering smooth, precise load positioning. Its vacuum-sealed arms help reduce hose festooning, creating a cleaner, more efficient setup for high-frequency material handling tasks.
- Articulating boom design
- Compatible with all major OEM tub lifters
- No foundation required
- 360° non-continuous coverage around the mast
Wall Mounted PIVOT Pro
The Wall Mounted PIVOT Pro provides exceptional load positioning in areas traditional jib cranes cannot reach. Its articulated design delivers smooth, responsive movement, making it ideal for tight spaces, low-headroom environments, and applications requiring precise placement.
- Articulating boom design
- Compatible with all major OEM tub lifters
- 200° degree rotation on primary arm, 300° rotation on secondary arm
