Portable Offset Jib Cranes are designed for easy transportation using a fork truck. The offset base design provides a larger usable work area under the I - beam. The fixed - length I - beam can pivot 360 degrees for full access. Empty base models come with instructions for filling with concrete. Base sizes are either 42 - 3/16' W x 42 - 3/16' L x 18'H or 36'H. Built - in fork tubes (7 - 1/2'W x 2 - 1/2'H usable on 24' centers) allow for fork - truck transportation. It has a steel construction with a blue painted finish and ships knocked down. Note that it's not for use as a fork - truck attachment, and there's 10' under the I - beam. All measurements are approximate, and weights shown are approximate shipping weights. There are multiple models available with different capacities, I - beam lengths/heights, and base heights, including models with concrete bases.
Using your Portable Offset Jib Crane is straightforward. First, if you have an empty base model, follow the included instructions to fill the base with concrete. Once the base is ready, you can use a fork truck to move the crane easily thanks to the built - in fork tubes. Place the crane in the area where you need to lift materials. The I - beam can pivot 360 degrees, so you can position it to reach the desired spots. When lifting, make sure not to exceed the crane's uniform capacity as indicated on the model specifications. Don't use it as a fork - truck attachment. For maintenance, regularly check the steel construction for any signs of wear or damage. The blue painted finish helps protect the steel, but if there are chips, you may want to touch them up to prevent rust. Keep in mind that all measurements are approximate, so slight variations might occur.
