Jib Cranes

What is Jib Crane?

A jib crane is a type of crane that features a horizontal jib or boom, which is an arm that extends horizontally from the crane’s mast or vertical support. This jib supports a moveable hoist fixed to either a trolley or directly on the jib, which can move along the jib’s length. Jib cranes are typically mounted on a wall or floor and can rotate, offering a wide range of motion. The jib’s rotation angle can vary, with some cranes offering up to 360 degrees of movement, making them highly versatile for lifting and moving loads in a circular area around the crane’s base. They are widely used in industrial and manufacturing settings, workshops, and warehouses, particularly in areas that are too small for larger cranes or where quick and frequent lifting is needed. Jib cranes are ideal for localised lifting tasks and can handle loads ranging from very light to several tons, depending on their design and construction.
