AJB (Articulated Jib Boom)
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.
