FIXED JIB RIGGING GUIDE — #134 FIXED
ON #149 LUFF
This section contains installation and removal instructions for
the #134 fixed jib on the #149 luffing jib.
The jib consists of a 15 ft (4,6 m) butt and a 15 ft (4,6 m) top,
providing a basic length of 30 ft (9,1 m). Inserts are available
to assemble additional jib lengths of 40 – 80 ft (12,2 – 24,4
m) as shown in Figure 4-22
.
The #134 jib sections, jib pendants, and some of the
backstay pendants used on the #149 luffing jib are identical
to the #134 jib components used on the 777, 888, and 999
liftcrane booms. Be sure to check part numbers of each
jib component before using components from another
model/application.
See applicable Jib Lifting Capacities Chart to determine
boom and luffing jib length limitations with fixed jib
attached.
