The things is that I know exactly what they mean - an "add-on", or "complementary addition" but am not happy with either of these two phrases. Any other suggestion from those who are not having a rest on this Sunday?

Anbau -or- Anbaugerät
crane jib attachment / mounting


Explanation:
Anbaugerät = crane jib attachment - the general term is accessory equipment.
See below link.

As regards, "Anbau" I'm not sure whether mounting is the adeqaute term, because you didn't mention the kind of product to be fit.
