what is jib crane?

Home > Blog >
Jib crane is a crane whose jib can rotate but cannot pitch. The load handling device of jib crane is hung on the end of jib, or on the trolley which can run along the jib of crane.

Jib crane is a small and medium-size lifting equipment developed in recent years, with the characteristic of unique structure, safe and reliable, high efficiency, energy saving, time saving, labor saving, and flexible, etc. It can be operated freely within three - dimensional space. In some occasions that need intensive transportation in short distance, jib crane is more superior than other conventional lifting equipment. This kind of crane is widely used in various industries of different places. The working strength of jib crane is light intensity. The crane consists of column, rotating arm rotation driving device and electric hoist. Lower end of the column is fixed on the concrete foundation by anchor bolts, and cycloidal reducer drives the jib to rotate. Electric hoist on the slewing beams runs from left to right as a straight line and lifts the heavy objects. As the crane jib is hollow steel structure, it has the advantages of light weight ,large span, large lifting weight, economic and durable. Built-in jib crane traveling mechanism adopts the special plastic engineering wheel with rolling bearings, this kind of travelling mechanism is particularly beneficial for improving the hook stroke, as its small friction force and size structure, and it can run lightly.

How many types can jib crane be divided into?

Jib crane can be divided into several types: column mounted jib crane, mobile jib crane, wall mounted jib crane, wall jib crane, portal jib crane, articulated jib crane, double arms jib crane.

The jib crane is a new generation light lifting equipment in order to meet modern production. Equipped with high reliability chain electric hoist, jib crane is especially suitable for short distance, frequent operation, and intensive lifting operations, it has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, convenient, small occupation area, easy operation and maintenance, etc.

What is column mounted jib crane?

Column mounted jib crane is a energy saving and efficient material lifting equipment, it has the advantages of novel and reasonable structure, simple and convenient operation, flexible rotation, large work space, etc. Fixed column jib crane can be widely used in factories, workshop production line, assembly line, machine tools, warehouse, wharf and other occasions to lift weight. Anson column jib crane can be divided into BZD - JKBK type and BZD type according to the different steel used in the jib, the capacity comes from 125kg to 5000kg, custom-designed special lifting equipment is available according to customer demands.

What is mobile jib crane?

Mobile jib crane has the characteristics of flexible, and wide adaptability, etc. It is a necessary separate emergency lifting equipment for high efficient automatic production line to ensure uninterrupted production.

What is wall mounted jib crane?

Wall mounted jib crane can be divided into BX wall mounted jib crane and BX-JKBK wall mounted jib crane. The lifting weight of Anson wall mounted jib crane is from 125Kg to 3000Kg. The lifting height is 3 meter.

What is wall  jib crane?

The walking track of wall jib crane is installed on the concrete column of the workshop, it can do the longitudinal motion along the rails, at the same time the electric hoist can complete the horizontal and vertical motion along the rotation jib. The crane greatly expands the working range, utilizes the workshop space more effectively, and the using effect is more ideal. The lifting weight is from 1000Kg to 5000Kg, and the lifting weight can customize by the customer.

What is articulated jib crane?

Articulated jib crane has characteristics of the novel structure, stretch and bend freely, operation facility, high efficiency and energy saving. During operation, just press the button to lift the load objects, avoid the objects in the controlling of the work area through the beam bending and rotation motion, maximizing the work area. With the hand push and pull gently, can achieve operational areas at any position. The articulated jib crane is suitable for the production and maintenance in machinery manufacturing, railway, chemical industry, light industry and other industries, particularly in equipment dense, short lifting, frequent operation on the production line of application of this product can improve production efficiency. The lifting weight is from 125Kg to 500Kg.
