What is a Jib Crane?
A Jib crane is a type of lifting equipment characterized by an arm or boom that extends horizontally from the main structure to increase its reach. This type of crane features a long horizontal beam called a boom, which rotates around a fixed point. Cantilever cranes are highly adaptable and can accommodate various types and weights of loads, making them most common in narrow working spaces.
Cantilever cranes are widely used in the following fields:
Shipping: For loading and unloading materials on ships and trucks.
Construction: To move loads to hard-to-reach places.
Warehousing: For handling materials and placing them into inventory with precision.
Jib cranes can be classified into the following types:
pillar Jib Crane: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, highly flexible.
Lifting capacity: 0.5-16t
Lifting height: 1-10m
Working class: A3
Wall-traveling Jib Crane: Moves along wall tracks, ideal for short-distance load transport.
Lifting capacity: 0.5-10t
Lifting height: 6-30m
Working class: A3
Wall Mounted Jib Crane: Requires no floor space and can be folded to save space.
Lifting capacity: 0.25-10t
Lifting height: 1-10m
Working class: A3
Jib cranes have the following features:
Small footprint, easy operation and maintenance.
Flexible rotation, economical and durable.
Strong environmental adaptability, suitable for various working conditions.
When selecting a cantilever crane, consider the following factors:
Available structural support conditions.
Expected requirements for material handling equipment.
Characteristics and advantages of various types of Jib cranes.
Cost and total maintenance expenses.
To ensure quality and safety, Jib cranes must undergo various tests, such as no-load tests and rated load tests. Throughout the production process, relevant standards and regulations must be followed, including the "Crane Design Standards" and "Crane Mechanical Safety Regulations."
