The jib crane is a commonly used lifting equipment and is the best choice for many companies. Cantilever cranes include fixed-column cantilever cranes, mobile cantilever cranes, wall-type cantilever cranes, and wall-row cantilever cranes. Only a suitable jib crane can save a lot of manpower and material resources during the operation and increase corporate income. So, how to choose the right jib crane?
1. Select the model according to the use environment: consider the lifting capacity and working range. If you need to carry a large lifting capacity but have a small working range, you can choose a fixed column cantilever crane. If the lifting tonnage is small and the working area is not fixed, you can choose a mobile jib crane. If there are no conditions for installing columns, you can choose a wall-mounted cantilever crane. If the working area is close to the wall and is long, you can choose a wall-mounted cantilever crane.

2. Consider model selection: Choose the appropriate model according to actual needs. The greater the maximum lifting capacity of a jib crane, the more difficult it is to fully utilize its performance, and the utilization rate may be lower. Therefore, there is no need to choose an oversized model unless necessary. The increased lifting capacity and height of larger models usually results in a higher cost.
3. Comprehensive economic performance selection: When selecting a cantilever crane, its comprehensive economic performance should be considered. You can calculate the unit price of material transportation based on the lifting capacity of the shift quota (or the productivity specified in the rental contract) and the shift cost (or the fee specified in the rental contract), and choose the lowest one. In addition, products that consume less energy and have more functions should be comprehensively considered to reduce manual labor intensity.
