A jib crane is a type of overhead lifting device that is often used in smaller work areas for repetitive lifting tasks. Jib cranes are highly adaptable and can be paired with overhead bridge cranes to increase production.

Jib cranes have an arm, or boom, that extends horizontally off the main body of the crane. The arm provides extra reach and has a lattice design to lower the weight added to a load. The working principle of jib cranes is based on arc-like or lateral movements, allowing for flexible transport.

Jib cranes have the following features:

• ⮞ A lattice design to lower the weight added to a load
• ⮞ Arc-like or lateral movements for flexible transport
• ⮞ A rotation stop to limit the crane's motion before it collides with a nearby object
• ⮞ Galvanized components to resist corrosion for outdoor applications

Here are some specifications for a JIB crane:

• ✅ Lifting capacity: 0.5 to 10 tons
• ✅ Safe working load: 250 to 5,000 kg
• ✅ Arm length: max 6 mtrs
• ✅ Height of lift: 3 to 8 meters
