I have a 1 ton jib crane with a 15' arm, I'm wondering if I need to power the arm to help with positioning, I have never had one in a shop before........I will be using the crane to lift fixtures on and off machines as well as lifting material and chucks on my lathe.
My question to anyone who has used a jib crane before, how hard is it to move the crane up close to the column?
I was looking at making a traction motor setup for the rotation, any drawbacks in my thinking?
Any help would be appreciated, total newb when it comes to cranes.
