What are the benefits of Gorbel Foundationless
Jib Cranes?
You save money!
A poured foundation can cost as much or more than the
jib crane itself.
Quick and easy installation
Poured foundations can take up to a week to cure before
you can install the crane.
Now there’s no waiting.
Flexible for easy relocation
It’s easy to relocate freestanding jib cranes where there’s
no poured foundation. That means more flexibility
in choosing initial location. You can place it closer to
machines or other obstructions, because
there is no need for a large square foot area for a concrete
pour.
