AJB (Articulated Jib Boom)

AJB Designed for low headroom operations and to maneuver around work-areas obstructions, our standard models support up to 2,000 pounds and allow 360° rotation around the main post.

Shown here with a CM Max Balancer unit (as shown here), the Articulated Jib Boom can also be used with a Vertical Lift Cylinder for much high load capacities.

When low headroom prohibits space, the Positech Articulated Jib Boom could be the ideal solution.  Maneuver around obstructions with a radial reach of 10 feet and 360° rotation around the main post.  Engineered to fit easily into any facility.  The Articulated Jib Boom is a more ergonomic replacement to a standard, stiff arm jib.   It mounts on pedestals, overhead spacers, wall or column flanges and portable bases.  Extended reaches are available.
