Contrx Industries manufactures its floor and wall mount jib cranes according to the design specifications and standards of the American Institute of Steel Construction and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, as applicable.

How fast can I get my jib?

FAQ's
Most of our standard jib cranes have a 2-week lead-time. Other time requirements apply to special or modified cranes and our large jib cranes. Please contact us for lead times on specific products. The rated capacity of the jib is the maximum "live load" the jib can pick up. A typical hoist and trolley weight is assumed and added to the rated capacity for design purposes. These assumed weights are 15% of the rated capacity and are not considered part of the "live load".

Can we mount our jib differently?

FAQ's
The only foundation mounting Contrx recommends is the one shown on the approval drawing supplied with the crane. The adequacy of any other method of mounting must be determined by a qualified person.

What do we mount the wall jib to?

FAQ's
The wall jib must be mounted to a structure determined by a qualified person to be adequate. The thrust and pull forces given for each jib, the weight of the jib, the capacity, impact, and hoist weight are some of the factors that must be taken into consideration.

Can I use a jib outdoors?

FAQ's
Our standard jib cranes are designed for indoor use. We can provide special shielding on the jib for outdoor use. Special maintenance will be required for jibs used outdoors. Please contact us for details and pricing.

What additional items do I need to mount the jib?

FAQ's
Floor mounted jibs require a concrete foundation with reinforcing steel rods and anchor bolts embedded in the concrete. The wall-mounted jibs require mounting bolts (12). These bolts must be no less than Grade 5 quality. The size is specified on the approval drawing, and ranges from ?" diameter to ?" diameter.

This depends on the style your instructor prefers (MLA, Chicago, Turabian), but Diana Hacker's site and a site from the Duke University libraries provide some good examples.

How critical is level and how accurate does plumb have to be with your floor mounted jib cranes?

FAQ's
The vertical column of a floor mounted crane should be fairly plumb. These cranes rotate very easily. With a load on the boom, if the column is not plumb, the boom may rotate by itself. In order to prevent unwanted boom rotation, it is certainly beneficial to spend extra time insuring the column of a floor mounted jib crane is plumb. Most installers will finish the concrete very flat and then bolt the jib crane column directly to the foundation.
