How much weight can this jib crane handle?
Two tons, and that rating applies to all five TRW-Series models. Capacity does not fall off as span increases: the TRW430 at 10 ft span carries the same 2 ton rating as the TRW422 at 7 ft. When you check it against your application, count the load plus the hoist, trolley, and any below-the-hook attachment hanging from the beam.
What spans and heights are available?
Five configurations: the TRW422 (22 ft HUB height, 7 ft span), TRW424 (24 ft, 7 ft), TRW426 (26 ft, 8 ft), TRW428 (28 ft, 9 ft), and TRW430 (30 ft, 10 ft). Span is the horizontal reach from the wall, HUB height the vertical dimension to the hub. Measure your wall or column height first, then pick the reach you need.
How much does the crane itself weigh?
Between 1,613 lbs for the TRW422 and 2,175 lbs for the TRW430, with the TRW424 at 1,753 lbs, the TRW426 at 1,892 lbs, and the TRW428 at 2,035 lbs. That dead weight plus a 2 ton load and the moment arm of the span all transfer into the building, so have your structure reviewed before ordering.
Which model should I choose?
Start with the reach you need at the work area, then confirm your wall can accept the matching HUB height. The 7 ft span is available at 22 ft and 24 ft HUB heights, 8 ft at 26 ft, 9 ft at 28 ft, and 10 ft at 30 ft. Longer reach is only offered on the taller models, so the two dimensions are not chosen independently.
Is a hoist included in the price?
The published specification data covers the crane structure only — model, HUB height, span, and weight — and does not list a hoist, trolley, or controls. Confirm exactly what ships with your order before you budget, and size any hoist you add so the combined hoist and load stay within the 2 ton rating. The $5,035 figure is a starting price.
