The Advantages Of A Jib Crane

Jib crane is an industrial equipment, which is a new generation of light hoisting equipment made to adapt to modern production. It is suitable for short-distance, frequent use and intensive hoisting operations.

The basic mechanism of the jib crane is composed of a column, a rotary arm rotation drive device and a main machine hoist. The lower end of the column is fixed on the concrete foundation by anchor bolts, and the cantilever rotation is driven by a cycloidal reducer. It is light in weight, large in span, large in lifting capacity, economical and durable. The built-in running mechanism adopts special engineering plastic running wheels with rolling bearings, which has low friction and fast rotating speed; the small structure size is especially beneficial to improve the hook stroke.

The basic classifications of jib cranes is as follows:

1. Fixed column type, it also known as floor mounted jib crane. It can lifting and transporting heavy objects in lower workshop, wharf and other occasions.

2. Wall mounted type, this type of jib crane is more suitable for workshops with small space. It has four install methods depends on the different site scenario: installed on steel columns, installed on concrete columns, installed by pre-embedded slabs on the concrete walls, installed by wall bolts on reinforced walls.

There is also an extended type of the wall travelling jib crane. The moving track is added along the wall to increase the space range of the lifting.

3. Telescopic type, it comes with telescopic column or cantilever. It is more conducive to moving in a narrow space and has a wider application range.

Choosing the right type of jib crane means that it can save your a lot of labour and material cost in the work area. The material handling work that originally required multiple people to operate can be completed with a single person with the cooperation of the jib crane.

In summary, there are following four advantages of jib cranes:

First of all, the jib crane is light in structure, easy to operate, flexible, adaptable and affordable, which greatly saves the input cost, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and improves work efficiency.

Second, the jib crane solves the weakness of the fixed crane that is easily limited by the site, and it is an ideal equipment for repairing and installation.

Third, the jib crane can move freely on a smooth work site by manually push.

Fourth, the jib crane is both economical and efficient. Whether it serves part or all of the workshop, it can simply and reliably serve the work of each single equipment, and it can rotate 360°to complete the work tasks conveniently.

So how to choose a jib crane?

In addition to the above basic classification choices, the jib crane also needs to be determined according to many factors, such as the choice of stainless steel or carbon steel, the weight of the frequently handled material and the drive type. After given the above conditions, you can choose a jib crane that is suitable to your own factory. Of course, there are many non-standard jib crane designs that need to be considered according to the actual situation on the site. This requires an professional crane company with rich design and installation experience like Kinocranes to give a perfect solution. We are waiting for your inquiry.
