Hi

It might depend on the exact type of crane. Some "topless" city cranes have an inclined section above the cabin to which both counterjib and jib(boom) are connected via multiple tie rods. This section effectively increases the outreach capacity. Alternatively I guess it could just be a connecting section coaxial with counterjib and jib. There are also luffing cranes of this type that have a different mechanical configuration of the superstructure that might be relevant for your term. Could you put something vague and send a note or check with your customer? Cranes can be very tricky.
Cheers
Derek
Note from asker:
Tricky thats not the word! The crane Im dealing with is a tower crane.
