Long reach / Fly jib
Long reach / Fly jib
These detachable additional jib sections can revolutionise construction projects. Giving the crane considerable extra reach, combined with the ability to work at positive and negative jib angles makes the seemingly-impossible possible!
Negotiating loads such as hot tubs, spas, garden buildings and roof trusses over, between and through existing structures.
Heavy loads can be placed safely and precisely at distances of over 30 metres.
This can be the difference between success and failure where street access prevents large vehicles getting near enough to deliver if fitted with lesser cranes.
Long reach trucks
Developed from the ground up without compromise, these long reach versions with fly jibs and winches provide a host of solutions for elevated delivery and installation projects, including air handling units, roof beams, roof trusses, glazing units, balconies, loft conversions, and skylights. They also extend the range for the hot tub and home spa lifts we have always performed.
Negative angle functionality on the fly jibs allows for ambitious internal lifts that were previously impossible with this type of truck-mounted crane.
Being the smallest package capable of delivering hefty loads, we offer solutions that others can only envy. The Supertruck Long Reach comes with lifting capacities ranging from 65 tonnes per metre.
And remember, if a skip lorry or dust cart can get in, so can we!
Our long reach / fly jib in action
Read how the Southdown Truck & Crane team helped specialist architectural dismantlers Dorton Demolition lift out fabricated steel stair sections with surgical accuracy from a demolition site in Hove, thanks to the flexibility of our big lifting cranes with fly jibs.
