The HFC14 Wall Jib Crane training equipment is designed for the demonstration of the concept of the triangle of forces through the use of a wall jib crane. The equipment enables students to perform experiments and determine forces in the parts of the jib crane. The experiment hardware is equipped with a crane with a compression jib and tension tie with adjustable length. It allows direct measurement and recording of forces.
Experimental Capabilities:
To determine the experimental values of the forces in
the principal parts of the jib crane.
To study the effect of altering the length of the tie to
change the geometry.
To compare the results with the forces obtained from
graphical solutions using a polygon or a triangle of
