I've got a ceiling mounted one of 500 pounds and a beam mounted one of 2000 pounds. None of the manufacturers appear to have specs available; Gorbel has shared in the past, but now I can't log on to their website. It's been 1/2 hour since they were going to email me "how to reset your password"... ljavoroski@flad.com Thanks!

You would need to establish some criteria from the user, and see which manufacturers you are left with as you put in criteria. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/search.shtml?op=search&N=27767&in_dim_search=1 CALDWELL (276) DAYTON (104) INGERSOLL-RAND (3) THERN (2) VESTIL (7) Lynn Javoroski FCSI CCS LEEDŽ AP SCIP Affiliate Senior Member Username: lynn_javoroski Post Number: 1638 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - 04:57 pm:    Thanks so much to all of you who have sent me information and sections. I was able to put together something comprehensible and spec-worthy. You guys are great! Couldn't have done it without you. Robert E.

But even though Grainger has dozens of jib-crane related products in its catalog, I can't find its "product selection tool." What am I missing? Though I'm still trying to find out what the relevant criteria are for this particular crane... in the meantime, does anyone have a jib crane spec I can use as a basis, that you'd be willing to share? Thanks! Robert E.

However, if anyone has a spec for one of those... Thanks!

Where can I send it? Robert E.
