Hoist JIB Crane

The hoist jib crane is an essential lifting solution designed for precise and efficient load handling in spaces with limited overhead clearance. Combining the power of a hoist with the flexibility of a jib crane, it allows for smooth horizontal movement and vertical lifting, making it ideal for industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse environments.

This versatile crane is suitable for tasks such as lifting heavy equipment, materials, and tools within confined spaces or work areas where space efficiency is critical. With a variety of customization options for load capacity, lifting height, and reach, the hoist jib crane is tailored to meet your specific needs. It offers high performance and durability while minimizing installation and maintenance costs.

Main Components

  • Wire Rope Hoist: The primary lifting mechanism, utilizing a drum to wind and unwind the wire rope for efficient vertical movement.

  • Lifting Rope: A standard synthetic rope, with the option to upgrade to high-strength steel wire rope for heavier, more demanding lifting tasks.

  • Trolley: Supports the hoist and facilitates its horizontal movement along the crane’s girder, available in both single and double girder options.

  • Main Girder: The horizontal beam that provides support for the hoist and trolley, available in either a profile or box girder configuration.

  • End Carriages: Contain the wheels that enable the crane to travel smoothly along the rails, ensuring efficient movement.

  • Hooks: Constructed in accordance with DIN 15401 standards to guarantee secure and reliable lifting.

  • Control System: Operates via pendant control, wireless remote, or advanced integrated smart features for enhanced convenience and precision.

  • Electrical System: Comprises motors, wiring, and optional smart functions, such as hook centering and obstacle detection, to optimize safety and performance during operation.
