What is Jib Crane
A jib crane is a lifting device mounted on a fixed support, usually consisting of a support and a rotatable arm. The arm can rotate freely in the horizontal plane through bearings or other rotating parts, providing flexible material handling capabilities. Jib cranes are suitable for places where materials need to be accurately positioned and quickly lifted, and are indispensable material handling tools in workshops, warehouses, production lines and other environments. With the rotating arm fixed on the support, the operator can adjust the position of the hook or other lifting equipment as needed to easily lift or carry items. The rotating arm can rotate within a certain angle range, usually between 180° or 270°, and some models can even achieve 360° full rotation, thus achieving flexible material handling.
Common types of jib cranes
● Wall mounted jib crane: fixed to a wall or structural support, its support point is usually on the wall or beam. This type of jib crane is suitable for working environments with small space and limited ground space. Since the support point is usually fixed on the wall, its rotation range is usually large, which is suitable for precise operation of the hoisted objects.
● Column jib crane: suitable for most workshops and production lines, and can provide a large lifting range. Since the support point of the column jib crane is on the ground, it has stronger stability and greater load capacity.
● Mobile jib crane: with fixed support wheels, it can move freely in the workshop, production line or other working areas. This type of jib crane is suitable for environments with frequent changes in work locations, and can flexibly adjust its position to meet different work needs.
● Clean room jib crane: It is a lifting equipment designed for clean room environments. It uses dust-free and pollution-free materials (such as stainless steel) and has a sealed design to avoid dust and particulate matter. It meets the strict requirements of clean rooms and is usually used in industrial production or laboratories that require high cleanliness standards, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, semiconductor manufacturing and other industries.
The main advantages of jib cranes
● It can move heavy objects from one area to another without the need for frequent movement of personnel or equipment in the space.
● It can operate effectively in a smaller working area, has strong flexibility, and does not take up too much space.
● It can be customized according to different working environments and needs, and is suitable for the lifting of various materials.
● The structural design is simple and maintenance is also very convenient.
● Equipped with multiple safety protection systems, such as overload protection, limit switch and emergency stop device, it can effectively prevent accidents caused by improper operation or equipment failure.
