Jib Crane

Base Mount

Base mount jib cranes also go by the names of floor mount or free standing. These typically install onto a concrete footing, thus not applying a load to the building columns. These self-supporting 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 5 Tons, spans up to 20 ft, and have 360° of available rotation.

Pillar

Mast or pillar types are useful when there is not an adequate building column nearby. The mast of the jib connects to the floor and to the overhead support steel. Because of this they do apply forces to the building, but those forces often require less reinforcement steel than a tie-rod style or cantilever jib crane. Standard sizes vary up to 2 Tons, up to 20’ span, and have 360° of available rotation. Custom engineered jib cranes can increase the previously mentioned sizes.

Foundationless

Foundationless jib cranes are industrial slab-mounted systems that are bolted to reinforced concrete. They are like a base mount jib but do not require a special foundation. This type of crane can be installed anywhere within your facility where the existing concrete slab is suitable and can be easily relocated if needed. Standard sizes vary up to 1 Ton, and up to 16’ span, and have 360° of available rotation.

Portable Cranes

Portable jib cranes are like base mounted units but are fixed to a heavy steel base. This design eliminates the need for concrete footing and can easily be moved by a forklift for multiple uses. Sizes are available up to 1,000 lbs., up to 14’ span.

Wall mount jib cranes can be mounted at any height on a vertical wall or building columns where the structure permits. They are ideal for areas where floor space is limited and can quickly swing out of the way of overhead cranes. Additionally, a wall traveling jib could be installed to maximize hook coverage area compared to a conventional wall mounted jib crane. Standard sizes vary up to 3 Tons and up to 20’ span and have 180° of available rotation.

Ceiling mount jib cranes are a great option when maximizing production area below the jib is important. They provide a clear work area with no floor obstructions and maximized headroom and clearance in tight workstations. These cranes are commonly attached to a carrier running on a bridge or monorail system and have an available rotation of 360°. They are also ideal for an articulating crane and can support manipulator, balancer, or hoist.
