Proper Crane Selection in G-Force™ Applications:

One of the most critical elements of a successful G-Force™ application is picking the right crane for the application. Due to the speed and ease of movement of the G-Force™ in the vertical direction, any resistance moving laterally is very noticeable. Generally speaking, LESS IS MORE. Aluminum bridges, 15’ and under are your best bet. Longer bridges and any jib requiring rotation on the inner portion of the jib is not recommended in high cycle applications.

  • Crane type (bridge vs. jib)
  • Size (bridge/boom length, capacity)
  • Impact factor – at 275 fpm, you’ll want to make sure the G-Force™ is hanging from a stable crane – contact us for proper sizing to eliminate unwanted bounce and oscillation
