Jib crane is the most economical lifting equipment for short distance material handling. Jib crane is a type of crane where a horizontal jib or boom, with a hoist as the lifting system is fixed on a wall or a floor-mounted pillar. Jib cranes can be classified into pillar jib crane, wall-mounted jib crane and pillar jib cranes, etc. Jib cranes are used to improve material handling efficiency and lower working.

The general applications scope and conditions of electric jib crane system is as follow:

Ambient temperature: -25℃ to + 40 ℃;Humidity ≤85%;Elevation below 1000m;Power is 3-PH, 380V, 50 HZ (The customized is available.)

General use Jib crane systems are commonly used in workstations, storage, yards, and other fixed or localized locations, and many other places and applications.
Jib crane systems are ideal for material handling in short-distance or confined spaces, such as when transferring materials from one work cell to another.
For general material handling, our wall jib crane and floor jib cranes can be used to supplement a large overhead crane.
Jib crane equipment can also be used for cost-effective outdoor applications.
Electric jib crane systems are commonly used in small and medium-sized workshops for repetitive and specific material handling tasks.
Electric jib cranes are typically used in conjunction with an overhead crane due to their versatility.
Despite their simple design, jib cranes can handle loads weighing from 0.5 ton to 10 ton.
The electric jib cranes are widely used in workshops because they improve working efficiency, reduce workplace injuries, and improve safety.
Standard jib cranes for sale are not permitted to be used in hazardous applications such as inflammable, explosive, and corrosive working environments, and many others.
For other special lifting weights, Dongqi Crane supports custom designs. If you need them, you can contact us.

Jib crane parts and Components
The majority of jib cranes have a very simple crane design and construction. When compared to workshop cranes, overhead cranes, and gantry cranes, jib cranes are simple to operate and have a low breakdown time. The main parts of jib cranes are presented for your reference.

  • Reach/Boom: The boom of a jib crane refers to the horizontal beam, arm, or cantilever on which the trolley with the electric / manual hoist moves horizontally.
  • Mast/Pillar: Jib mast or pillar is a vertical beam, pillar, or post that supports the arm or cantilever or boom on freestanding and mast jib crane systems.
  • Movable electric hoist: An motorized or manual powered jib hoist is used to lift and lower a load.
  • Trolley: the travelling trolley, which can be powered by motor, manual, or pneumatic, carrying the jib hoists, either chain hoists or wire rope hoists,to move along the entire length of the boom/ arm/ cantilever.
  • Rotation: on free standing jib cranes or pillar jib cranes and mast jib cranes, the rotation angle can be 360° of boom rotation. Wall travelling jib cranes, wall mounted jib crane and column-mounted jib cranes, the rotation angle can be 180-200°.
  • Controls: Crane controls of jib cranes are used on motorized or air-powered jib systems, to control the rotation of the jib boom or jib arm, and the movement of the trolley to lift up and down and travelling. The jib crane controls usually are push button controls and also the Multi-speed or variable speed controls are available.
  • Hook Height: The height which the jib hoist will lift the loads up.
  • Rotation Stop: rotation stop is a devices to limit the crane’s motion before colliding with a nearby object or obstructions such as a wall, etc.
  • Environmental Considerations: Due to particular environment features, additional devices or features should be included in the design of jib cranes such as, resist corrosion features, explosion proof features, and heat, dust, dirt, or moisture resistant, etc.

Free Standing Jib Crane
This is the most common type of jib system because it can be installed almost anywhere, including indoors and outdoors. Freestanding jib systems can be used beneath large overhead crane systems or in open areas where individual work cells can be supported. They can also be used outside at marinas or loading docks, as well as indoors for machining and assembly operations where multiple jibs can be used concurrently with the staged operation.

A free-standing jib crane has its own column and, once installed, is permanently attached to the ground. Foundations with significant depths would be required to withstand the overturning moment in order to fix a free standing jib crane to the floor. A tubular column allows for a full 360° slew, but it’s important to note that if used with an electric chain hoist, power must be supplied via slip rings unless stops are included to prevent a full rotation.

A lower capacity or shorter radius jib crane must be fixed directly to the floor if the floor specification is known in advance and is suitable and in good condition. For jib cranes with a larger radius and load capacity, the most cost-effective mounting solution would be to cast directly into the floor, but this would also require moving it at a later date, which is an unappealing prospect. A bolted connection, which requires a base plate and fixings that require more space around the base of the column, or the use of chemical anchors is often a more suitable installation.

Base Mount Jib Cranes
Base mount jib cranes also go by the names of floor mount jib cranes or free standing jib cranes. These typically install onto a concrete footing, thus not applying a load to the building columns. These self supporting jib cranes are fitting for applications which are not near building columns or require large capacities or spans. These can also mount into a sleeve which is installed on top of the floor or recessed into the floor. Capacities are available up to 15 Tons, spans up to 50’, and up to 40’ to the underside of boom. Rotation is 360 degrees.

Base mount jib cranes – Floor mount jib cranes and free standing jib cranes are other names for base mount jib cranes. These are typically installed on a concrete footing, removing the load from the building columns. These self-supporting jib cranes are ideal for applications that do not require large capacities or spans and are not near building columns. These can also be installed in a sleeve installed on top of the floor or recessed into the floor. Capacities of up to 16 Tons are available and the rotational axis is 360 degrees.

Pillar Jib Cranes
When there isn’t a suitable building column nearby, mast or pillar jib cranes come in handy. The jib’s mast or pillar connects to the floor and the overhead support steel. As a result, they apply forces to the building, but those forces often necessitate less reinforcement steel than a tie-rod or cantilever jib crane. Standard sizes range from 5 Tons to 20′ span and 20′ to the underside of the boom. Larger-scale custom projects are possible. The rotational axis is 360 degrees.

Foundationless & Portable Jib Cranes
Foundationless jib cranes are bolted-to-reinforced-concrete industrial slab-mounted systems. They function similarly to base mount jibs but do not require a special foundation. This type of jib crane can be installed almost anywhere in your facility and is easily relocated if necessary.

Portable jib cranes are similar to base mounted jib cranes, but they are attached to a heavy steel base. This jib crane design eliminates the need for concrete foundation and can be moved easily by a forklift for multiple uses.

Wall Mounted Jib Cranes
A wall-mounted jib crane secures the bearings to a pre-existing structure, such as a building, column, or wall. The jib crane’s slew would be limited to 180° if fixed to a wall, but column-mounted or pillar mounted jib units could rotate up to 270° depending on the installation.

You must assess the most appropriate jib crane designs for your operational needs and application conditions, provide drawings outlining the imposed loadings on the structure, such as a wall or column, and calculate a’maximum moment’ in force, which is generated by the combined weight of the load and lifting appliance when at the end of the jib, while taking into account the dynamic effects of operation under the loads.

Where strength allows, wall mount jib cranes can be mounted at any height on a vertical wall or building columns. They are ideal for areas with limited floor space and can easily swing out of the way of overhead cranes. A wall traveling jib crane could also be installed to maximize hook coverage area when compared to a traditional wall mounted jib crane.

Ceiling Mount Jib Crane
When it comes to maximizing production area below the jib, ceiling mount jib cranes are an excellent choice. They provide a clear work area with no floor obstructions, as well as maximum headroom and clearance in small workstations. These cranes are typically attached to a carrier that operates on a bridge or monorail system. They are also suitable for use with an articulating jib crane and can support almost any type of manipulator, balancer, or hoist. The rotational axis is 360 degrees.

How to choose the optimal jib crane for your application? How will the jib crane affect your working efficiency? How will it be used in daily operation? In order to answers these questions, the following factors have to be considered when choosing the material handling equipment:

  • The conditions of your available structural support.
  • Your anticipated requirements for the material handling equipment, the crane or the hoist.
  • The features and advantages of each type of material handling equipment.
  • The overall height and headroom height available.
  • The cost of each type of jib crane.
  • The overall cost of installation, training, maintenance, and after-sales services, etc.
