  • Device for controlling crane stop angle
    Patent number: 10407285
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a system and method for limiting a swing angle of a jib crane, the jib crane having a jib rotatably mounted to a mast. The device can have a collar having a collar height and a collar width, the collar being configured to be fit to the mast at a stop height. The device can also have one or more stopping tabs enagagable with the collar and configured to be positioned on the collar at one or more points about a circumference of the mast. The stop height can place the one or more stopping tabs in a position coincident with the jib to interfere with the swing angle of the jib. The method can use the device to limit the angle through which the jibe crane can swing unimpeded.
