JIB Hoists

When it comes to efficient and reliable lifting, jib hoists are an essential tool for operations that require precise load handling in tight spaces. Designed for both heavy-duty and light-duty tasks, jib hoists are perfect for environments where vertical lifting needs to be combined with horizontal movement. Whether you’re in a warehouse, workshop, or industrial environment, our jib hoists offer customizable features, including lifting capacity, height, and span, to fit your specific needs.

Built with durability and reliability in mind, these hoists come with advanced control systems, including manual or motor-driven options. The versatility of jib hoists allows them to be used with both wire rope and chain hoists, making them ideal for a wide range of applications, from automotive repair shops to steel manufacturing.

Main Components

  • Electric Chain Hoist: The primary lifting mechanism powered by an electric motor that drives the chain for vertical movement.

  • Load Chain: A durable, high-strength alloy chain designed for lifting, providing smooth and reliable motion.

  • Trolley: A component that supports the hoist and moves it horizontally along the crane’s beam, available in both single or double girder configurations.

  • Girder: The main horizontal support structure, either in profile or box design, that holds and supports both the trolley and the hoist.

  • Hooks: Heavy-duty forged steel hooks built to meet strict industrial safety standards, ensuring secure lifting.

  • Control System: Operates via pendant control (using a festoon system) or an optional wireless remote control for easy operation.

  • Travel Motor & Drive: Equipped with a variable-speed motor to provide smooth and precise horizontal travel.

  • Power Supply System: Ensures stable energy delivery to the hoist via drag chains or cable systems for uninterrupted lifting.
