Truss Jibs - A truss jib is actually used in order to pick up and place trusses. It is an extended jib additional part that is equipped along with a pyramid or triangular shaped frame. Typically, truss jibs are mounted on machines such as a compact telehandler, a skid steer loader or a forklift using a quick-coupler accessory.
Older kind cranes which have deep triangular truss jibs are usually assemble and fastened using bolts and rivets into standard open structural shapes. There are seldom any welds on these style jibs. Each and every riveted or bolted joint is susceptible to rust and therefore needs regular maintenance and check up.  
Truss jibs are designed with a back-to-back collection of lacing members separated by the width of the flange thickness of an additional structural member. This design could cause narrow separation amid the flat surfaces of the lacings. There is little room and limited access to clean and preserve them against rust. A lot of rivets become loose and rust in their bores and must be changed.
