Motorization Kit for Free Standing Jib Cranes

The Roto-Mate™ powered jib crane motorization package mounts within the canopy of new and existing free-standing jib cranes to reduce worker strain and help prevent back injuries.

• Representing a breakthrough in jib crane motorization, the Roto-Mate is nearly half the cost of other jib drives. Motorized jib rotation is now affordable and a "must-have" feature, not a luxury.
• Relieve operator strain in both high-capacity and high-use jib crane applications.
• Fits almost every make of free standing jib crane. Available as an option on new jibs or as an add-on retrofit kit, the Roto-Mate is easily installed in the field.
• A unique double-reducer design, accessible pressure adjustment, sealed lubrication and proven drive technology enables it to deliver years of dependable service.
• Powers jibs with capacities up to 5 tons and spans up to 20 feet.
• Push-button controls are easily added to hoist pendant.
