LOADMATE

A jib crane is a type of overhead crane which consists of a horizontal boom or an arm (jib) connected to a monorail hoist and is mounted to a wall or a pillar. This type of crane is mostly used in smaller facilities due to its compact size and highly adaptable features. These cranes can also be mounted to a bridge crane and can lift loads weighing up to 5-10 tons. Types of jib cranes Depending on their requirement, jib cranes vary in shape and size and are categorized as per their function. Wall-mounted These jib cranes are mounted to a wall and can rotate up to 200 degrees to move and lift weights. Wall-mounted jib cranes need no footprints and can be placed anywhere due to their flexibility. The capacity of the load lifted by the crane also depends upon the strength of the wall to which it is mounted. Wall-Traveling Similar to wall-mounted jib cranes, wall-travelling jib cranes can be moved if required as they are connected via tracks to the walls. As these cranes can be moved, they...

Growing Lifting Work to New Heights, Safely! Presently, there are numerous examples where workers participating in lifting and hoisting operations will find themselves working at height. Many of the countries adopted a safe perimeter to their approach to reducing the risk in working at height. This approach has been largely respected for the last few years, and the majority of countries now follow a risk-based approach to reduce the risk so far. This now means that operations above ground level could require the provision of a safe working platform.  Hoist in the construction industry is getting bigger and faster Hoists are increasingly being customized for specific projects and used to enhance efficiency in the worksite. Hoist lift is requested to be wider, taller, longer, and faster every day as construction materials and technologies are constantly changing. The construction hoist lift has to support more weight and to go more rapidly because they go higher.  Features of Ho...
