The "jib" refers to the projecting arm of a crane. The term likely originated as a shortened form of "gibbet," which was an upright post with an extending arm historically used for public hangings in the Old West.

Nebraska Hoist & Crane has been serving customers since 2004.

Welding on a crane isn't recommended unless you have proper experience. Stick welders generate heat quickly, which can compromise the crane's structural integrity. If welding is necessary, use a MIG welder and apply "stitch" welding techniques with short beads that cool between passes. We strongly advise contacting Nebraska Hoist & Crane's service department for guidance before proceeding with any welding work.
