I used to have a riggers license 20 years ago and acording to the course and training manuals a jib was an extension to a crane boom. sometimes called a flying jib or swinging jib depending on how it was joined. The pics on the third post is a pilar crane. When the jib is used for longer reach it lowers the cranes capacity . A good example of a jib is the lattice type structure on the side of the boom of a truck crane. <br />
