JIB Gantry Crane

The jib gantry crane is a robust and flexible lifting solution, designed to handle heavy loads with ease and efficiency. It combines the best features of jib cranes and gantry cranes, providing unmatched versatility for applications in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and logistics. With its sturdy structure and efficient lifting mechanism, the jib gantry crane ensures maximum performance, even in challenging environments.

This crane features a gantry-style base for mobility and stability, allowing it to easily move along tracks or across open areas while lifting materials with precision. The jib arm offers horizontal reach and can be adjusted for different lifting heights, making it ideal for working in confined spaces or for specialized tasks.

Main Components

A jib gantry crane is made up of several key structural and mechanical components:

  • Main Girder: The horizontal beam that supports the hoist trolley, available in either a single or double girder design.

  • Supporting Legs: Vertical columns that uphold the main girder and connect to the ground rails or wheels for stability.

  • End Carriages / Wheels: Positioned at the base of the legs, enabling the crane to move along the rails or across the ground surface.

  • Hoisting Trolley: Travels along the girder and carries the hoist for lifting and lowering heavy loads.

  • Hoist: Can be either a wire rope or chain hoist, responsible for the lifting function.

  • Electrical System: Supplies power to all crane functions, including motors, control panels, and necessary cabling.

  • Control Options: Provides various operation modes such as pendant control, wireless remote control, or an operator cabin, depending on user requirements.
