G-Jib™

A Smart Alternative to the Traditional Work Station Jib/Chain Hoist Combo

Description

The G-Jib™ is a fusion of the G-Force® Intelligent Lifting Device and an enclosed track work station jib crane.

The G-Force® is an Intelligent Lifting Device that uses an industrial processor controlled servo drive system to deliver unmatched lifting precision and speed. The G-Jib™ integrates the G-Force® into a work station jib crane. The actuator of the G-Force® stays in a fixed position near the vertical truss of the crane, eliminating the deadweight that comes with moving a hoist along the rail and creating an easier to move alternative to the traditional work station jib crane/chain hoist combo. The G-Jib™ maximizes productivity while minimizing the risk of injury to the operator.

Specifications

Capacities: 330 and 660 lbs
Spans: 6’ to 16’
Heights Under Hook: 6’-10’
Mounting Styles: Free Standing and Wall/Column Mount

Features

- 660 lb. capacity expands application potential for a jib based Intelligent Assist Device (IAD) solution

- Cost effective Intelligent Assist Device solution as an alternative to Work Station Jib with a chain hoist

- G-Jib offers longest standard spans of any jib based IAD (up to 16')

- Unmatched precision throughout its full range of speed

- Moves as fast or slow as the operator chooses to move

- Cold-formed high strength enclosed track design keeps rolling surfaces clean, contributing to easier of movement and longer life

Options & Accessories

- Optional float mode
G-360 Collector
- Slide or pendant handle options
- Handle Brackets
- Remote Mount Handle clamp collars
- Safety latch hook
- Portable Base
- Anchor Bolts
- Air Hose

Pendant Control Handle

More Operational Control for G-Force and Easy Arm Units

Description

This infinitely variable handle is a no-charge optional alternative to the standard G-Force and Easy Arm slide handle. This two-button pendant control handle has infinitely variable control for operators, giving them fast, safe, and precise control of the lifting device.

Features and Benefits

— Float Mode Enable Button

— E-Stop Button

— Universal Mounting Bracket

— Infinitely Variable for More Precise Control - The more you push on the Pendant Control's levers, the faster the lifting unit will go, much like the accelerator on your car. This gives operators faster, smoother, more precise control, especially when a remote mount handle is necessary for larger end effectors.

— Ease of Use - The buttons of the pendant handle require less than 1 pound of force to depress, making it up to 70% easier than traditional pendants. This reduces the potential for fatigue and repetitive stress injuries of the hand and wrist.

— Better Headroom - The Pendant configuration maximizes vertical travel, allowing operators to easily lift loads higher.

— Comfort - The traditional two-button handle design, with very fine speed control, is attractive to those operators who are more comfortable with the air-balancer style handle than the traditional G-Force slide handle.

— Configuration - A Pendant Handle can directly replace any existing G-Force or Easy Arm remote mount handle. It can also be configured as a dangling pendant for even greater application flexibility.

Mounting Options

— G-Force with Suspended Pendant
— Easy Arm with Suspended Pendant
— Remote Mount Pendant for G-Force or Easy Arm.

Integrate with Soft Touch Pneumatic Handles

Added Functionality

The Pendant Handle shares a common handle base with the Soft Touch Pneumatic Control Handle. This allows the control block of the Pendant Handle to be easily integrated with the single pilot valve blocks of the Soft Touch Pneumatic Handle. This handle combination can be used to control end effector functions and the up/down motion of the Intelligent Lifting Device on one handle.
