Gantry JIB Crane

A gantry jib crane is an advanced lifting solution that combines the operational efficiency of a gantry crane with the precision and versatility of a jib crane. This design allows the crane to move both horizontally and vertically, enabling the operator to lift, move, and position heavy loads with exceptional control and ease. Perfect for industries that require precise load handling in confined or space-limited areas, the gantry jib crane provides high performance in a compact, easy-to-use structure.

Unlike traditional cranes that require complex infrastructure or large overhead space, the gantry jib crane can be installed in a variety of environments, including factories, warehouses, construction sites, and even outdoor locations. Its design allows for a modular setup, making it highly adaptable to different tasks, from lifting equipment to moving materials across tight spaces.

Main Components

  • Main Beam: The horizontal support structure that carries the hoist trolley. Available in single or double girder configurations.

  • Support Columns: Vertical structures that provide support for the main beam and are anchored to the rails or wheels for stability and mobility.

  • End Trucks/Wheels: Positioned at the base of the support columns, these components enable the crane to move along the rails or across the floor, facilitating horizontal travel.

  • Hoisting Trolley: This component moves along the main beam and supports the hoist that performs the lifting and lowering operations.

  • Hoist Mechanism: Available in either chain or wire rope configurations, the hoist is responsible for raising and lowering loads within the crane’s working range.

  • Power System: This system powers the crane’s movements and includes control panels, motors, wiring, and power distribution to ensure smooth operation.

  • Control Options: The crane can be operated via pendant control, wireless remote, or through an operator cabin, depending on the specific requirements of the operation.
