Extendable JIB Crane

An extendable jib crane is the ideal solution for industries needing adjustable and adaptable lifting capabilities. With its extendable boom, this crane offers an excellent range of motion for handling loads at different distances, making it perfect for tasks requiring flexibility and precision. Whether you’re working in manufacturing, maintenance, or construction, this crane can be tailored to your specific needs, providing enhanced performance, reduced costs, and increased efficiency.

Main Components

  • Electric Chain Hoist: The main lifting component, powered by an electric motor, drives the chain for vertical lifting.

  • Load Chain: A durable alloy chain for smooth, controlled lifting; ensures stability during heavy-duty operations.

  • Trolley: Moves the hoist horizontally along the crane girder, available in both single and double girder options.

  • Girder: The horizontal beam (profile or box girder) that supports both the hoist and trolley system.

  • Hooks: Heavy-duty forged steel hooks, designed according to DIN standards, ensuring safe and secure lifting.

  • Control System: Features pendant control (festoon system) or optional wireless remote for convenient crane operation.

  • Travel Motor & Drive: Enables seamless horizontal movement with stepless travel, offering precision and smooth operation.

  • Power Supply System: Uses either a drag chain or cable system to ensure consistent and safe power delivery to the hoist.
