Jib Crane - Flexible and Powerful

-

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 can cover more area than wall-mounted jib cranes.

Freestanding

Freestanding jib cranes are mobile; they can easily be moved around or in and out of a facility. These cranes provide a rotary span of 360 degrees as they are not mounted on a wall.

Mast-Style

They are less flexible as they are mounted to the floor but are available at a much lesser cost than that of freestanding jib cranes.

Workstation

Workstation jib cranes are used for repetitive lifting and motion activities. They are preferred for their efficiency as they can be mounted to the floor, on the wall, or can be portable.

Advantages of a jib crane

• A jib crane is much simpler in design than a bridge crane. Installation and operations with them come in handy.

• Jib cranes are very efficient and are used for lifting repetitively; such efficiency of the machine leads to a great production.

• Jib cranes very little space to operate and are safe, which decreases the chance of accidents or injuries.

• Jib cranes are ergonomic and require very little maintenance. 

• Offering very high durability, jib cranes can easily lift and move loads from one place to another.

• Despite being very agile, jib cranes are exceptionally strong and can lift loads weighing up to 5 tons. 

• Jib cranes can rotate for 180 to 360 degrees as they have a pivoting head that is supported by the floor.

Hence jib cranes are effective and convenient machines that save time and boost production.

LOADMATE offers jib cranes that need no space and footprints. Their wall and pillar mounted jib cranes provide rotary motion up to 270 degrees and can lift loads weighing 5 tons (or higher). Visit the website for more information.

The Basic Structure Commercial quality trolleys generally have sturdy frame plates. Manufacturers use heavily sectioned rolled steel for their bodies. With spaces and bolts, the different parts of the product are held together. The wheels of a well-made trolley would be made from durable materials like cast iron, which stay mounted carefully on ball bearings. The machine cut axles and shafts are generally made from carbon steels. If you physically visit a local trolley hiring company and find that their products have these above features, then you can ensure that the company is offering quality products.

In the heavy industries sector, sometimes goods or equipment need to be taken to some places. In these cases, a trolley can lift the goods to those places or handle them in the factories. There are different types of trolleys, and each one has its own set of pros and cons. One can select a trolley that meets the requirements at that time. There are a lot of trolley manufacturers in India, and they supply trolleys with different specifications. However, one needs to keep a few points in mind before purchasing a trolley such as – 1. For what use the trolley is to be used? 2. The number of spares handlebar a trolley has 3. Is the trolley suitable for all seasons? 4. Check the quality, size, and type of trolley to be used. The motorized trolley is the most cost-saving solution for in-house heavy load transport with reduced fatigue. The equipment is so designed that it moves in a straight line on the designated rails. The good thing is that length of the rail can be fully customized.  T...

A girder crane is used for medium to heavy fabrication needs. In a low-rise building, where a high hook lift height is required, an overhead girder crane is ideally suited for the lifting. A European type single girder crane is fitted with a Europe type hoist lifting mechanism that is advantageous because it is light and safe, with a compact structure, big lifting capacity, high lifting speed with efficiency, easy maintenance, smooth low lifting speed and precise positioning.  It is a good-looking piece of machinery with the humanized design of a control pendant and a completely novel appearance. However, the double girder cranes have a space-efficient configuration, with a top running crane system and ample headroom. Designed for Better Working The features of an overhead double girder industrial crane are: 1. They are built on a gantry to straddle an object or workspace. 2. They can be operated from the ground with a radio remote, cable-connected control pendant or from the cabi...
