Jib crane concept, features, & classification

 Jib crane is a kind of cantilever crane. The fetch device of the jib crane is spined on the arm or hang on the lifting car which can run along the spiral arms, the arms can be rotating, but cannot be luffing.

Jib crane characteristics

Jib crane is small and medium-sized lifting equipment, developed in recent years. Jib crane has the features of unique structure, safe and reliable, with the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, save time and effort, flexible, can be operated randomly in three-dimensional condition, in the period of distance, intensive dispatching, it is better than other conventional lifting equipment.

Jib crane is widely used in various industries. Jib crane works for light intensity, composed by post, rotating arm and electric hoist, column bottom fixing on the concrete foundation with anchor bolt, slewing driven by cycloidal pinwheel reducer, electric hoist running from left to right along the slewing beams as a straight line running , and lifting heavy objects. The jib crane’s cantilever is hollow steel structure, light weight, big span, lifting weight, economic and durable, Built-in line type slewing crane is MODE institutions, made of special engineering plastics with rolling wheel, friction small, brisk walking; The structure is small size, especially to improve hook trip.

Jib crane duty classification

With different designs, there are various types of jib cranes. And according to different applications, jib cranes also can be divided into different types. However, most commonly jib cranes are grouped into the following types: Pillar jib crane, Mobile jib crane, and Wall jib crane, Wall traveling jib crane and Crack jib crane, etc.

Pillar jib crane

The pillar jib crane, also known as column cantilever crane, lifting capacity ranged from 125 kg to 5000 kg, is developed by kaili. According to the use of steel material, pillar Jib crane can be divided into: BZD type and BZD-JKBK type. As a special lifting equipment, the pillar jib crane can be designed and customized according to customer specific demand.

Pillar jib crane has a novel structure, reasonable, simple, easy to operate, rotating flexible, large work space, etc. This type of jib crane is energy-efficient material lifting equipment, which can be widely used in factories, workshops production lines, assembly lines and machine tools, working warehouses, docks and other occasions of heavy lifting.

Mobile jib crane

Mobile jib crane has the characteristics of more flexible, wide adaptability. The mobile jib crane is indispensable emergency hoisting equipment for high-efficient automatic production line, ensuring the production line running smoothly, with the lifting capacity from 125 kg to 500 kg.

Mobile jib crane

Wall jib crane

Wall jib crane, also known as wall hanging, pilaster cantilever crane, can be divided into: BX wall type slewing crane and BX – JKBK wall type slewing crane, lifting capacity from 125 kg to 3000 kg, lifting height is 3 m.

Wall mounted jib crane

Wall traveling jib crane

Wall traveling jib crane, also known as wall hanging crane, is developed from the pilaster cantilever crane which is based on a new type of material handling equipment. Wall travelling jib crane traveling rails are installed on the workshop cement column, which could make the longitudinal motion along the crane rails, simultaneously the electric hoist could make lateral movement and vertical lifting along the selected slewing.

Wall travelling jib crane

This type of jib crane expands the work scope greatly, making the most of the workshop space, having high efficiency in material handling, with lift capacity from 1000 kg to 5000 kg. The lifting height of the jib crane could be customized as customer’s requirements.

Crank arm jib crane

Crank arm jib crane is also called the crank arm crane, with the advantages of novel structure, flex freely, flexible operation, high efficiency and energy saving features.

During operation, the press of the button, it will load heavy goods, using the beam bending and rotation motion, avoiding the objects in the control area, to maximize the working area. With the hand push and pull gently, it can achieve any position in operational areas.

Crack arm jib crane

Crank arm crane is suitable for machinery manufacturing, railway, chemical industry, light industry and other industries production or maintenance of occasions, especially in dense short lifting equipment, frequent operation on the production line, it can improve production efficiency greatly with the lift capacity 125 kg to 500 kg.
