Aluminum JIB Crane

The aluminum jib crane is designed to provide lightweight yet strong lifting capabilities for workshops, factories, and industrial facilities. Its corrosion-resistant aluminum construction ensures long-lasting performance while reducing the overall weight for easier installation and operation.

With a rotating jib arm and flexible mounting options, this crane allows precise horizontal and vertical movement, making it ideal for loading, unloading, assembly, and positioning tasks. The aluminum jib crane is compatible with wire rope or chain hoists, providing versatility for different lifting requirements.

Main Components

  • Runway Tracks – Positioned overhead or supported by structural columns to guide crane movement.

  • Bridge Beam – Travels perpendicular to the runway and provides support for the hoist.

  • End Trucks – House the wheels that steer and support the bridge along the runway.

  • Hoist – Typically an electric chain hoist used for lifting and lowering loads.

  • Trolley – Moves the hoist along the length of the bridge beam for horizontal positioning.

  • Control System – Operated via pendant control or remote controller for precise handling.

  • Power Supply System – Equipped with cable festoon or conductor bar for safe and efficient energy delivery.
