What does the name "Jib" in Jib Crane stand for?
The "Jib" is the projecting arm of a Crane. Jib was probably from the shortening of the word Gibbet, which was an upright post with a projecting arm, used for hanging bandits in the old West (who knew?)
How long has Nebraska Hoist & Crane been in business?
Since 2004.
Can I weld on a crane?
Not recommended unless you are experienced in what you are doing. A stick welder builds heat rapidly, which could weaken the integrity of the crane. If you must weld, use a MIG welder, and "stitch" weld, using short beads that can cool before welding the next "stitch".
