Installing a jib crane at a workstation prevents operators from waiting for the main factory crane, significantly boosting productivity for CNC loading, welding, and assembly tasks.
While overhead cranes handle the "heavy traffic," Jib Cranes handle the vital local tasks.
Pillar Mounted (Free Standing).
Rotation: Up to 360° slewing range.
Installation: Anchored to a reinforced concrete foundation or chemical-anchored to a suitable existing floor.
Benefits: Completely independent of the building structure. Can be placed anywhere to serve multiple machines. Available in "Low Headroom" and "Overbraced" styles.
Wall Mounted.
Rotation: 180° slewing range.
Installation: Bolts directly to existing structural building columns or walls.
Benefits: Zero footprint on the factory floor. Ideal for moving goods along the length of a building wall or serving a specific bay without obstructing fork lift traffic.
Articulated (Knuckle) Jibs.
For reaching around corners, columns, or into machinery enclosures. The "knuckle" joint allows the arm to fold in on itself, offering unparalleled maneuverability in tight spaces.
Key Features.
Slewing: Manual slew for light loads or powered electrical slew for heavy/frequent operations.
Hoists: Integrated with electric chain hoists or pneumatic air balancers for "weightless" handling.
Finish: Powder-coated for indoor use or hot-dip galvanized for outdoor/marine environments.
