Abstract

Movement of the locking member from the extended position to the retracted position causes the locking pin to engage the coupling member, and movement of the locking member from the retracted position to the extended position causes the locking pin to disengage the coupling member. The jib coupling system may be implemented as a part of a boom assembly and on a boom assembly of a mobile crane.
