Features & Benefits
J904B Features
Heavy-Duty Capacity
Handles ¼ to 5 tons across boom lengths of 8–30 ft, making it a versatile, all-purpose jib crane.
Full 360° Rotation
Rotates on a tapered roller bearing that delivers full-capacity vertical and radial thrust loading.
Self-Aligning Rollers
The lower head section revolves around the pillar on a pair of steel rollers with self-aligning roller bearings.
Reinforced Base Plate
A large-diameter base plate reinforced with heavy steel gussets ensures continuous alignment.
Anti Lift-Off Device
A built-in head restraint prevents accidental upward dislodgement of the head.
Adjustable Leveling
The bottom roller assembly can be shimmed to precisely level the boom during installation.
Safe Trolley Travel
End-stops at both ends of the boom keep the trolley and hoist safely contained throughout their range.
Durable Mast
Fabricated from heavy-wall structural steel pipe with wall thickness sized to minimize deflection.
High-Strength Boom
A wide-flange beam section provides high load-bearing capacity and structural integrity.
Rigid Head Section
A welded, steel-plate box-type head minimizes deflection between the boom and mast.
Hazardous-Duty Options
Available with spark-resistant or explosion-proof configurations for safe use in hazardous locations.
Powered Rotation
Optional electric, air, or hand-geared rotation adapts the crane to your workflow and productivity needs.
