Design Details
Great hook height is a product of the hoists’ placement inside the jib crane’s support arm. The compact design maximizes the usefulness of the lifter in applications where minimum headroom is available.
CraneWerks’ WerkArms™ workstation jib cranes allow for easy manipulation of light to moderate loads. The unique base and pedestal design along with the articulating arm allows for loads to be picked even behind the jib.
WerkArms™ are powered by Bal-Trol balancing hoists and offer variable speed control. These hoists are designed to deliver fast and precise load placement. Gentle pressure causes slow gradual movement. Increased pressure causes faster movement. Smooth travel movement is consistent throughout travel.
A standard feature designed into these jib crane units is load float. Once a load has been roughly located the operator can simply grasp the load and experience a degree of weightlessness while precisely moving the load up and down manually.
Air operation means low maintenance and operating costs with no expensive electronic components to replace. WerkArms™ are easy to maintain and each WerkArm™ articulating jib comes with a one year warranty against defects in parts and craftsmanship.

In the late 1990s, CraneWerks noticed that the American crane industry was in trouble. Big overseas companies were making huge inroads into the US market by setting up their own sales networks. Their seemingly unlimited resources and capabilities made it increasingly difficult for independent US dealers to stay competitive.
Against that backdrop, CraneWerks was founded in 1997 with a vision: give independent American dealers a chance to compete in their own backyard by giving them the opportunity to say “Yes” to all their customers’ overhead material handling needs.
The actions we take in our lives create lasting reverberations, often enduring beyond our time. Roger Graham, a cherished member of the CraneWerks family for 18 years, was a remarkable and generous individual whose actions and words have left a lasting impact. His legacy continues to resonate with those who had the privilege of knowing or working with him. In honor of his memory, the Roger Graham Scholarship is presented each year to a deserving local high school senior pursuing education in a trade school.
