Horizontal VS Luffing Jib of Tower Crane

05/29/2014 12:11 AM

Can both of them telescoping / climbing?

Horizontal jib type seems more flexible, why some people choose luffing?

Thanks

In case you haven't tried this:-

horizontal versus luffing crane

As there is not any change in vertical movement, there is no work applied to the load.

Only translation

If I ever have a luffing jib, I just push the bow downwind a bit and she'll fill right back up.
