Cantilever crane

Fixed‑position workstation, "on‑call" personal lifting assistant
Lifting capacity: 0kg~2000kg (pillar‑mounted / wall steel‑column hoop‑mounted), meeting frequent fixed‑point lifting requirements at workstations.
Scope of application: Jib length normally ranges from 2m to 6m; slewing angle reaches 180° or 360°, covering a fan‑shaped or circular area centered on the pillar.
Operation mode: The jib can rotate manually or electrically, with electric hoist travelling horizontally along the jib; lifting, slewing and traversing are independently controlled. Intuitive operation allows one‑person fast transfer of heavy loads from ground to workstation.
Application sites: Material loading/unloading beside machine tools, mould handling, narrow workstations inaccessible to forklifts, and outdoor temporary lifting points.
Core value: No long‑distance rails required, simple foundation work. Investment cost is only 1/4~1/2 of overhead crane systems. Ready for operation right after installation; workstation lifting response improved by over 50%, greatly cutting workers’ waiting time for overhead cranes or forklifts. It is the most cost‑effective "workstation‑level" lifting solution.

Quick Detail:
Jib crane is a light‑duty workstation lifting equipment assembled from modular components including pillar, jib, slewing drive and electric hoist (or manual hoist). Rated lifting capacity covers 0.125t~2.5t, jib length 2m~7m, slewing angle 180°~360° customizable. The pillar is fixed to concrete foundation via anchor bolts for stable and reliable structure. The jib adopts hollow steel structure or I‑beam structure, featuring light self‑weight, large span and high cost‑effectiveness. Widely used for light‑load material handling at fixed working points in machinery manufacturing, automobile assembly, mould processing, warehousing & logistics and other industries

Description:
Jib crane is a light‑duty lifting equipment for short‑distance and frequent‑use scenarios. It features simple structure, flexible operation, small footprint, easy installation and smooth rotation with 180°~360° slewing range. The crane consists of pillar, slewing jib, slewing drive and electric hoist. The bottom of pillar is fastened to concrete foundation by anchor bolts. The jib is driven for rotation by cycloidal pinwheel reducer, while the electric hoist travels horizontally on the jib I‑beam to lift loads.
As a newly‑developed medium‑small lifting equipment, jib crane has unique structure, high safety and reliability with advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, labor‑saving and great flexibility. Its hollow‑section jib is light‑weight, large‑span, high‑capacity and durable. The built‑in travelling mechanism adopts special engineering‑plastic travelling wheels with rolling bearings for low friction and smooth movement; compact dimension helps maximize hook travel.
This new‑generation light‑duty lifting equipment is developed for modern production. Matched with high‑reliability chain electric hoist, it is especially suitable for short‑distance, high‑frequency and intensive lifting operations. It outperforms conventional lifting equipment in short‑range and intensive material handling, and allows flexible operation within three‑dimensional space.
Light‑duty jib crane has lifting capacity of 125kg~2500kg for light‑to‑medium working class. Non‑standard customization is available per customer requirements. Stable operation is guaranteed within ambient temperature from ‑20°C to +40°C.

Applications:
Automobile manufacturing & assembly lines: Flexible rail layout enables accurate transportation of engines, chassis and other components for synchronous production‑line operation.
Electronics & precision manufacturing: Smooth travelling and precise positioning ensure safe handling of vulnerable parts such as precision circuit boards and LCD panels.
Machining & equipment manufacturing: Realize efficient material flow and hoisting between workstations.
Warehousing & distribution centers: Build handling systems on warehouse rooftops for fast goods sorting and turnover, significantly improving space utilization.
Food, pharmaceutical & chemical industries: Stainless‑steel versions or models with special anti‑corrosion treatment are available for applications with strict hygiene and anti‑corrosion requirements.
General industrial workshops: Replace traditional overhead cranes for precise and efficient light‑load material handling.

Specifications:

Competitive Advantage:
Compact Structure & Small Footprint: The pillar‑mounted type only requires 1‑2 ㎡ foundation; wall‑mounted version takes zero floor space; mobile type needs no pre‑embedded foundation. It can be installed close to walls or equipment to maximize floor space for production activities.
Flexible Slewing & Wide Coverage: Multiple slewing angle configurations including 180° and 360° are available to meet various scenario requirements. The jib covers fan‑shaped working zones with a maximum working radius of 27 meters, adapting to diverse workstation layouts.
Cost‑effective & High Performance: Its cost is only 30%‑40% of that of overhead cranes with the same lifting capacity. Short installation cycle and low deployment cost for single workstation. After equipping jib cranes, factories can cut average material loading‑unloading time by 40%.
Easy Installation for Fast Commissioning: No modification to plant structure is required. Installation can be completed by drilling holes on the foundation. Complex civil foundations are not needed. Modular assembly enables professional teams to finish installation and commissioning rapidly.
Easy Maintenance & Long Service Life: Simple structure for easy upkeep and long service life. Modular design simplifies maintenance procedures, with significantly lower long‑term operating cost compared with fixed cranes. Equipped with overload protection device, service life can reach more than 10 years.
Strong Compatibility & Custom‑built Solution: Compatible with various types of electric hoists. Jib length can be adjusted according to site and operation requirements. Custom‑designed special lifting equipment is available upon customer requests.
Simple Operation & High Safety: Novel, reasonable and simple structure with convenient operation and flexible slewing. Multiple safety devices including overload protection and upper‑lower limit protection are built‑in. Free manipulation within 3‑dimensional space to satisfy precise material handling demands.
