Jib cranes

 

What are jib cranes?

Jib cranes are used to manipulate loads in rotation (e.g. 180, 220, 270, 360 degrees) during handling.

 

 

What are the different types?

There are several types, including wall-mounted, freestanding and articulated jib cranes.

 

 

How to Choose the Right Jib Crane?

Jib cranes are often used to make operators’ work easier. Since boom rotation and trolley movement are usually manual, ergonomics should be a key consideration to reduce fatigue and the risk of injury.
 
Here are three elements to consider:
 
Jib Height
A jib that’s too tall makes maneuvers more difficult. In general, it’s best to stay below a height of 16 feet.
Beyond this height, movements become more strenuous; it may then be worth considering motorization for rotation or trolley movement.
 
Ease of Rotation
The boom should rotate without excessive effort. The farther the load is from the rotation axis (hinges), the easier the boom will be to maneuver.
Proper positioning of the jib will help operators work more efficiently.
 
Boom Weight
A boom that is too heavy or too long will require more effort during maneuvers.
It’s therefore important to assess the actual lifting capacity needed without oversizing unnecessarily, and to choose the jib crane model best suited to the task.
Lighter booms, especially those equipped with ergonomic rails, enhance operator comfort.
