Truss Jib - A truss jib is utilized to be able to pick up and place trusses. It is an extended jib additional part which is outfitted along with a triangular or pyramid shaped frame. Normally, truss jibs are mounted on machines like for instance a compact telehandler, a skid steer loader or a forklift utilizing a quick-coupler attachment.
Older models of cranes have deep triangular truss jibs which are assembled from standard open structural shapes that are fastened making use of rivets or bolts. On these style jibs, there are little if any welds. Each riveted or bolted joint is prone to rust and thus requires regular maintenance and inspection.
Truss jibs are designed with a back-to-back collection of lacing members separated by the width of the flange thickness of an additional structural member. This design can cause narrow separation amid the flat exteriors of the lacings. There is little room and limited access to clean and preserve them against rust. Numerous rivets loosen and corrode within their bores and should be replaced.
