This Vestil WTJ-E-15-3-AC power lift jib crane is a freestanding, rotating steel crane with a maximum capacity of 1,500 lb. for use in warehouses and on truck beds and loading docks. It has an AC-powered winch and a 25' cable with swivel hook for raising and lowering the load, and the boom can be rotated manually up to 360 degrees. The boom has four elevation settings and its reach can be adjusted from 43-1/16" to 66-3/4" for versatility. A toggle switch on the winch is used to raise and lower the cable. The mounting plate measures 12" x 12" and has four mounting holes with 9/16" diameter. The height of the crane with the boom at the lowest elevation is 66-15/16", and the overall dimensions of the crane with the boom at maximum reach and highest elevation are 73-5/16 x 12 x 51-1/16 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) The boom can be folded down parallel to the mast to secure a truck-mounted crane for travel. This AC-powered jib lifter is made of welded steel for strength and has a blue paint finish.

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.
