Roof Jib Crane

The roof jib crane is an essential lifting solution specifically designed for the unique needs of roof construction, maintenance, and repair. This specialized crane features a compact and versatile design, ideal for handling materials and tools in confined or hard-to-reach roof spaces. Whether you’re working on a commercial building, residential project, or industrial facility, our roof jib cranes provide precise and safe lifting capabilities with minimal installation space.

Designed with flexibility in mind, our roof jib cranes can be mounted on walls or existing roof structures, offering various configurations to meet your specific requirements. The crane’s simple, yet efficient operation ensures that workers can safely move heavy materials without straining themselves, enhancing productivity while reducing the risk of injury.

Main Components

  • Wire Rope Hoist: The central lifting unit that uses a drum to wind and unwind the wire rope for vertical movement.

  • Lifting Rope: Standard synthetic rope with optional high-strength steel wire rope for heavy-duty lifting.

  • Trolley: Carries the hoist and moves horizontally along the crane’s girder (available in single or double girder form).

  • Main Girder: The horizontal beam that supports the trolley and hoist; available in profile or box girder designs.

  • End Carriages: House the wheels that allow the crane to travel along the rails.

  • Hooks: Made according to DIN 15401 standard for secure lifting.

  • Control System: Operated via pendant control, remote control, or integrated smart features.

  • Electrical System: Includes motors, wiring, and optional smart functions like hook centering and obstacle prevention.

 

Technical Specifications
