A JIB Crane

A Jib Crane is an essential tool for lifting and maneuvering heavy loads in confined spaces or limited areas. With a compact design, it provides a cost-effective and flexible solution for lifting operations in workshops, factories, and construction sites. Known for its sturdy build and customizable configurations, a Jib Crane can be tailored to meet specific lifting requirements, whether it’s lifting loads with precision or handling materials in tight corners.

Its easy installation and low maintenance needs make it an ideal choice for industries looking to boost efficiency without compromising on performance. Whether you’re handling heavy equipment or managing materials in narrow spaces, a Jib Crane delivers reliable, efficient operation to optimize your workflow.

Types of JIB Cranes

  • Wall-Mounted JIB Crane: Installed on a wall or building column to save floor space, allowing rotation up to 180° for efficient maneuverability.

  • Pillar-Mounted JIB Crane: A freestanding crane installed directly on the floor, offering a full 360° rotation for enhanced flexibility in lifting tasks.

  • Column-Mounted JIB Crane: Mounted on existing structural columns, this type is commonly used in factory settings for lifting and handling loads with ease.

  • Articulating JIB Crane: Equipped with two rotating arms to extend reach and improve precision, perfect for tasks that require detailed maneuvering and careful load positioning.

 

Main Components

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

  • Mounting Base or Bracket: Can be mounted on the floor, wall, or a column, offering flexible installation options.

  • Rotational Mechanism: Allows the jib to rotate, with options for manual or motorized operation.

  • Electric Hoist: Powered hoist system (chain or wire rope) used for lifting and lowering heavy loads.

  • Trolley: A moving unit that transports the hoist along the jib arm for efficient horizontal lifting.

  • Control System: Operated via pendant control or wireless remote, providing easy and precise operation.

  • Power Supply: Utilizes a flat cable system to ensure safe, consistent, and efficient energy delivery to the crane.
