English term or phrase: jib stand
Bonjour,

savez-vous comment s'appelle un "jib stand" en français ? Il s'agit d'un petit outil qui se place sous la flèche de la grue pour la maintenir (du moins je crois, c'est ce que j'ai compris...).

"So they just finished attaching three of the six pieces, which equal 100 feet. Now we’re going to start working on section four. And, again in the end, once the six sections are all connected together, we’ll have 200 feet of jib. So, how many jib stands we need?"

Merci de votre aide.
