LodeRailTM Free Standing Crane System

• Entirely self supporting – LodeRail is the only true self-supporting
crane system of its kind in the market today. You don’t need any
X-bracing, building tie backs or kickers for any configuration.

• Seismic Designed – LodeRail meets all the stringent require-

ments of the Uniform Building Code, Seismic Zone 4. These sys-
tems are very resistant to vibration and movement.

• Ergonomically Justified – You can manually move your load on

LodeRail with a 100:1 productivity ratio, e.g., an operator can
start a 500 pound load moving with 5 pounds of force.

• Easy Installation.

Yale Jib Crane

• Boom consists of rolled steel WF-beam section with
long wearing wide flange for smooth trolley travel. End
stops prevent trolley over-travel.

• Rigid box type head section with welded construction

for minimum deflection between boom & mast.

• Base plate is reinforced with steel gussets for continu-

ous alignment and rigidity. Base plate may also be
customized per customer request.

• Easy boom rotation. Boom rotation locks available.
