Truss Jib - Truss jib's could actually be used to be able to pick up, transport and position trusses. The additional part is designed to perform as an extended jib attachment together with a triangular or pyramid shaped frame. Typically, truss jibs are mounted on equipment like a skid steer loader, a compact telehandler or a forklift utilizing a quick-coupler attachment.
Older style cranes that have deep triangular truss jibs are normally assemble and fastened using bolts and rivets into standard open structural shapes. There are hardly ever any welds on these kind jibs. Each and every bolted or riveted joint is susceptible to rusting and thus needs frequent upkeep and inspection.
Truss jibs are made with a back-to-back collection of lacing members separated by the width of the flange thickness of another structural member. This particular design could cause narrow separation amid the flat exteriors of the lacings. There is limited access and little room to preserve and clean them against rusting. Lots of rivets become loose and rust inside their bores and should be changed.
