Jib Cranes

Richards-Wilcox Cranes

Structural Beam Jib Cranes

Free Standing Jib Cranes

Jib Cranes work well underneath large bridge cranes, in open areas where they can serve several work stations, in outdoor applications such as loading docks, or in machining and assembly operations where they can be overlapped with other jib cranes to provide staged coverage.

- Available in floor mounted, insert mounted and sleeve insert mounted styles.

- Capacities from 500 to 10,000 lbs, with spans to 20'.

- Use I-beam boom assemblies for heavier

 

Wall Cantilever Jib Cranes

Wall Mounted Jib Cranes offer hoist coverage and 200 degree rotation for individual use in bays, along walls, or columns of plants, or as a supplement to an overhead crane or monorail system.

This jib has the advantage of providing maximum lift for the hoist, since it can be installed very close to the underside of the lowest ceiling obstruction.

It is composed of a vertical mast mounted to 2 brackets on a wall or vertical building beam with a boom that cantilevers out, perpendicular from the wall at the top.

- Capacities from 1/4 ton to 5 tons

- Spans to 20' * Requires very little head room and exerts less force on the structure it is mounted to

- Requires a structurally adequate wall or column to support the jib, and needs sufficient clearance above the boom

Jib Cranes - Articulating Arm

When adapting Ergonomic Lifting Products to existing work spaces or trying to save valuable floor space in new work spaces we often find ourselves trying to fit equipment into a small obstructed area that was simply not designed to allow adequate space for traditional types of equipment. With the ability to operate in constrained spaces and around obstructions the Articulating Arm Jib Crane can provide a simple and economical solution to these problems. In addition the design of the Articulating Arm Jib Crane requires minimal headroom and the end of the outer boom can be notched for even lower headroom requirements. With four mounting styles including Wall Bracket, Base Mount, Top Mount, and Portable Base and a variety of Spans and Capacities available, the Systems Design Articulating Arm Jib can be combined with a Vacuum Lifter, Electric or Pneumatic Hoist, or Tool Balancer, to provide simple solutions to complex lifting problems. We can also provide customized units to meet your specific requirements.
