16' Jib Arm Crane

The Proam 16ft Crane has ability to telescope and nest within itself. This crane’s modularity is built on its lightweight, octagonal, high grade aluminum, black powder coated 4ft feet extension sections which start at the tail of the jib, with the largest diameter, and progressively get smaller as you get closer to the camera.
