Column Crane

A column crane is a highly versatile and efficient lifting solution, ideal for industries that require frequent, high-capacity lifting. Whether you need to move heavy loads within confined spaces or perform routine lifting tasks in large-scale facilities, column cranes are designed to meet those needs with precision and reliability. Mounted directly on structural columns, these cranes offer a space-saving design, making them perfect for areas where overhead space is limited.

With a variety of configurations and customizable features, column cranes deliver excellent performance and flexibility for numerous applications, including manufacturing plants, warehouses, and maintenance workshops. Choose a column crane for cost-effective, durable lifting solutions that maximize your operational efficiency.

Types of JIB Cranes

Wall-Mounted JIB Crane
Mounted on walls or structural columns, this crane design saves valuable floor space. Offers rotation capabilities up to 180° for flexible material handling.

Pillar-Mounted JIB Crane
Designed as a free-standing unit installed on the floor, it provides a full 360° rotation, allowing complete mobility for heavy lifting tasks.

Column-Mounted JIB Crane
Installed on existing structural columns, this type of crane is frequently used in factories where space efficiency and operational flexibility are key.

Articulating JIB Crane
This crane features dual rotating arms, providing extended reach and versatility for complex lifting tasks. It’s ideal for precise material handling in confined spaces.

 

Main Components

  • Jib Arm (Boom) – Supports the hoist and facilitates horizontal movement of the load.

  • Mounting Base or Bracket – Can be mounted on the floor, wall, or column, depending on installation requirements.

  • Rotational Mechanism – Options for manual or motorized rotation, offering flexibility in movement.

  • Electric Hoist – Includes chain or wire rope hoists for efficient lifting operations.

  • Trolley – Enables the hoist to travel smoothly along the jib arm for precise load handling.

  • Control System – Operated via a pendant control or wireless remote for convenient management of crane movements.

  • Power Supply – Utilizes a flat cable system for stable and secure energy transfer.
