Different Types of Jib Cranes

As with all cranes, stationary jib crane is overhead lifting equipment that is attached to a horizontal beam, the ceiling, a column, or a wall. According to the installation methods, the fixed jib crane can be made as ground floor mounted jib crane, pillar mounted jib crane, wall mounted jib crane. Regarding the foundation of the jib crane, there are freestanding jib crane, foundation jib crane, foundationless jib crane, base plate mounted jib crane. As per the lifting boom types, there are I beam jib crane, light duty KBK rail jib crane, aluminum rail jib crane, light and compact jib crane with folding arm. Regarding the mounting types, there are column mounted jib crane, pole mounted jib crane and post mounted jib crane. Adapted to diverse applications, it can be sorted as jib crane for outdoor, marble jib crane, glass jib crane, plywood sheet slab jib crane, clean room jib crane, air pneumatic jib crane vacuum lifter. What’s more, it is known as remote control jib crane, electric jib crane, pendant control jib crane, manual jib crane sorted by different control mode and power supply. And there are some special types of jib crane such as telescopic jib crane, hot-dip galvanized jib crane, stainless steel jib crane, explosion proof jib crane and adjustable height jib crane for special applications.

Free Standing Jib Cranes

Freestanding jib cranes are the most common type of jib crane base plate 1 ton and can be installed for indoor or outdoor applications. Also known as slewing arm jib cranes or cantilever jib cranes, free-standing jib crane are traditionally bolted to the floor, using chemical anchors. The fixed floor mounted jib cranes are available in both under-braced and over-braced profiles with arms reaching up to 9m in length and working load limits from 500kg up to 1 tonne. There are three designs of freestanding jib cranes, which are base plate mounted jib crane, foundation mounted jib crane, and sleeve insert mounted.

Light Duty Foundationless Jib Cranes

Foundationless jib cranes are the fixed column rotate jib crane that does not require a pre-poured foundation. It can be bolted to an existing concrete surface and are great in open areas where they can serve several work stations.

Manual Jib Crane

Also known as manual slewing jib crane or hand operated jib crane, this light weight manually rotated jib cranes are designed for the material handling inside a work plant, in a square or to serve operative purposes. The manual rotating jib cranes are available for lifting capacities from 50kg to 2000 kg and jib boom length from 5m to 8 m. Jibs can be enclosed C rail channel profile or I beam.

Articulating Jib Cranes

Also referred to as fold arm jib crane, an articulating jib crane has a swivel arm and a boom. They rotate easily and have consistent responsiveness for positioning loads and can be positioned to reach loads around corners and obstructions. Articulated jib cranes can be wall mounted, floor mounted, ceiling mounted, or mounted on a bridge system.

The rotation of the two arms can be locked and come in three different arm lengths. The primary arm has a 200° swivel, while the outer arm can swivel 360°, which allows it to reach into machinery and containers. The many configurations of articulating jib cranes make it possible to have precise load positioning and spotting loads around obstructions.

Wall Mounted Jib Cranes

Wall mounted jib cranes, also known as wall mounted boom lift or wall cantilever jib cranes, are space saving types of jib cranes on walls, that do not require floor or foundation space. The wall bracket jib crane serves as a supplement to a monorail or overhead bridge crane and can be installed close to the underside of the building structure allowing for maximum clearance under and above the boom. It can be made as Over-Braced or Under-Braced wall mounted jib crane.

When wall type jib cranes are not in use, they fold away along the wall to prevent obstructing or interfering with production. The fixed wall mounted jib cranes have spans ranging from 8 feet up to 30 feet with weight capacities up to 3 tons. The two designs of cantilever slewing jib cranes are cantilever wall jib crane and top braced tie rod support wall mounted jib cranes.

Mast Jib Cranes

Mast type jib cranes are floor supported and top stabilized with the top being supported by the beams of the building. Unlike foundation supported and base plate supported jib cranes, mast jib cranes take up little floor space and do not require holes in the foundation. The fact that the structure of the building does not have to be altered to accommodate fixed floor jib crane makes them a very economical lifting method, much like a tie rod supported jib crane.

Portable Jib Cranes

Portable jib cranes are installed on a mobile base that can be motorized wheeled or fork lifted depending on their design and have a capacity of less than a 1/2 ton. The traveling jib crane with wheels and tyres is also referred as wheeled jib crane, moveable(movable) jib crane or cantilever mobile jib crane. The design of small portable jib cranes means that one person can move large amounts of materials without the need for other resources.

The key to electric mini jib crane design is to ensure that the apparatus is stable without having to be secured. Their core is very light for easy mobility such that they can be positioned close to a work area.

Hydraulic Jib Crane

A hydraulic jib crane is another version of a mini swing jib crane with the added feature of a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the arm of the crane. The lifting system of a hydraulic jib crane uses a hydraulic cylinder that is attached to the boom of the crane to lift and lower loads. The hydraulic mechanism can be powered by a battery or be a hand pump type depending on the design of the crane.

The lifting mechanism of a hydraulic jib crane has a capacity of one ton when the boom is retracted and 500 pounds when the boom is extended.

Wall Traveling Jib Crane

A wall travelling jib crane travels along rails that are mounted on the walls of a building or some form of supporting structure. They are designed to use the full space of a building for moving, lifting, and transporting loads. Wall traveling cranes are designed for lateral movement of loads using the vertical lifting mechanism of the crane.

Workstation Jib Crane

Workstation jib cranes, also known as workshop jib crane, are a means for improving productivity while ensuring the safety of workers. Column slewing jib crane makes it easy for workers to manipulate and position a work piece as well as move a work piece onto other applications. Workstation jib cranes come in all of the available mounting configurations to specifically meet the needs of an application.

The majority of workshop jib cranes are freestanding with a standard height of 12 feet and a 360° rotation. Mounting plates vary depending on the capacity of the crane with small jib cranes using square mounting plates with gussets while large capacity ones have hexagonal mounting plates and gussets.

Vacuum Lifter Jib Crane

Also called as pneumatic jib crane or suction cup jib crane, it is the jib crane with vacuum lifter for granite, slab, glass, carton, box, stone, marble, metal sheet, etc. The flexible lightweight articulated jib crane is with an integrated vacuum lifter, pneumatic balancer or tool balancer for quick and easy lifting.

Heavy Duty Jib Crane Accessories, Components and Jib Crane Parts

There is a long list of factors that go into the design and construction of pedestal slewing jib cranes, with each one being an improvement to assist in productivity and the safety of workers. Precision tapered roller bearings in top pivot and trunnion assemblies provide smooth operation and long life. Full supporting triangular base plate gussets are used instead of struts to minimize crane deflection and make positioning loads easier. From its basic structure, ergonomical jib crane has been engineered, crafted, and manipulated to fit a wide range of lifting applications.

Mast Components

The mast is the vertical beam upon which the components of a 2T jib crane installation. They are found in the majority of 3 ton jib crane except for wall mounted, wall traveling, column mounted, and ceiling mounted ones. Jib cranes with a mast are typically cantilever jib cranes with a full 360° rotation. The main variation of the jib crane for workshop is how they are attached to the floor or walls, with mountings being foundational, sleeve, or plate bolted.

Jib Crane Boom

The boom jib crane is the major weight bearing portion of any type of custom jib crane. It extends out from the mast, wall, ceiling, or a column and is a horizontal beam that is perpendicular to the floor. Contained on the boom is the hoist that is used to lift and move the load. For some versions of jib cranes, the boom is the support along which a trolley moves as it transports a load.

Jib Crane Hoist

The electric hoist is the mechanism that is attached to the boom and does the lifting for a workshop ground stationary swing jib crane. Some of the types of industrial hoists are electric chain hoist, intelligent lift assist devices, smart balance hoist(zero gravity hoist with floating mode), electric wire rope hoist, electric winch, manual chain hoist, manual block, rope balancers, vacuum tube lifters, grippers, air pneumatic vacuum lifters with suction cups, and tool balancers. Hoist brand: Our own brand YUANDA or international top brand such as: Demag, Abus, Kito, KONE, YALE, PLANET, Gorbel, etc. Another distinguishing factor for hoists is their power source, which can be manual, electrical, battery powered or pneumatic. 

Other spare parts include jib crane motor, jib crane bearing, jib crane vacuum lifter, etc. Jib crane with electric hoist allows operators to position loads precisely, effortlessly, and efficiently.

Uses for Jib Cranes

The purpose of 1 ton jib crane is to reduce and simplify repetitive lifting tasks and limit the amount of manual labor. The different styles of fixed column type rotary jib crane make it possible to adapt them to fit the needs of any type of lifting or load bearing application. Jib cranes are one of the most versatile high capacity low cost tools or lifting equipment available.

The applications and uses for 2 ton jib crane are endless due to their ability to lift awkward heavy loads and place them accurately. They can be found in auto shops for moving engines and on production lines for supplying large parts. Manufacturers are continually designing and perfecting uses for these flexible and reliable tools.

Jib Crane in Manufacturing

Pole mounted swing jib crane is a major factor in assembly processes. It is set up at workstations to assist workers with assembly operations and is positioned close to production lines for material handling and transport. Pillar type workshop jib crane with electric chain hoist has been a major benefit in reducing the strain on employees and improving productivity. The convenience of jib crane operation makes it possible to have supplies readily available such that work can proceed faster and more efficiently. 

Marine Jib crane for Shipping

Marine Jib Crane in several fashions have always been a part of shipping for offshore loading and unloading of ships and trucks. In many cases, the types of cranes are very large and robust with several tons of capacity. In the midst of the massive cranes are jib cranes that can efficiently load and unload boats as well as move materials off the dock or load them onto trucks. Moreover, there are boat lifting jib crane, which is installed on marina, quay or dock to lift the boat out of water.

Jib Crane for Construction Industry

The construction industry is constantly being confronted by the challenges of moving heavy materials into hard to reach locations. These conditions can involve underground foundations and multi-floor buildings. The jib crane for outdoor is possible to shift and place stacks of materials into these hard to reach locations saving manual labor and time as well as enhancing productivity.

Jib Crane for Warehousing and Supply Storage

Electric lifting cantilever jib cranes that are commonly found in warehouses and supply storage locations, which improve the efficiency and speed of material handling. In many warehouses, electric hoist slewing jib crane is used as supplement and addon for the larger and more robust gantry and overhead cranes. They provide the precision and accuracy needed to put materials on trucks or place them on a production line.

Jib Crane Price

Selecting a electric lift jib crane to match application requirements involves assessing key elements such as operation type, structure, necessary options, cost of jib crane, and jib crane installation. If you want to buy jib crane with an cost-effective jib crane price, you are suggested to consider the following factors in selecting the appropriate jib crane type:

1. Span of Jib Crane/Boom Length: 2m 3m 4m 5m 6m 7m 8m 9m 10m?
