Jib cranes are used to lift a variety of materials in industrial, commercial, and military settings. Jib cranes consist of a single vertical mast, a cable winch, and a horizontal boom. The winch may be hand-operated or electric. The boom may be telescoping (extendable) or single-length, and it may or may not be able to rotate vertically. Jib cranes can typically rotate up to 360 degrees around the base, though some jib cranes may rotate less than that. They may be mounted on the floor, a wall, the back of a pickup truck or van, or another sturdy surface. Some jib cranes are stationary, while others can move along a track.
Vestil manufactures materials handling equipment, including hoists and trolleys, jib and gantry cranes, loading dock equipment, and storage solutions. The company, founded in 1968, is headquartered in Angola, IN.
