Crane and JIB

The crane and jib system is a powerful and versatile lifting solution designed to handle heavy loads with precision and efficiency. Ideal for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, construction, and logistics, this system provides flexibility in both operation and design, making it a perfect fit for diverse work environments.

With its robust crane structure and the added functionality of a jib, the system offers exceptional reach and maneuverability. The jib extends horizontally to lift and move loads across challenging spaces, while the crane supports vertical lifting and overall stability. This combination of flexibility and strength allows the crane and jib to efficiently tackle complex tasks in tight or confined spaces.

Main Components

  • Runway Tracks: Mounted overhead or supported by columns to provide a stable path for movement.

  • Bridge Beam: Transports perpendicular to the runway and supports the hoist.

  • End Trucks: Direct the bridge’s movement along the runway for smooth operation.

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

  • Trolley: Moves the hoist along the bridge beam for precise positioning.

  • Control System: Operated via a pendant or remote control for ease of use.

  • Power Supply System: Utilizes a cable festoon or conductor bar for energy transmission.
