Jib Cranes
Jib Cranes: Wall or Pillar Mounted, Covering the Workstation
Where one machine, one bench or one loading point does the same lift all day, a jib crane covers it — without tying up the bay crane or building a runway.
The configuration decision
Wall or Pillar: Where Does the Crane Stand?
The arc the arm sweeps and the floor space it costs — that is the trade between the two mountings.
Wall-Mounted Jib
Bolted to a wall or column you already have — rotating 180° to 200° across the workstation.
Choose it when
- The workstation sits against a wall or structural column
- Floor space is too valuable to give up to a pillar base
- A half-circle of coverage genuinely covers the work
Pillar-Mounted Jib
Free-standing on its own baseplate and foundation — a full 360° of rotation, positioned wherever the work is.
Choose it when
- The lift point sits away from any wall — mid-floor, by a machine
- The work needs the full circle — load on one side, set down on the other
- No structure nearby is fit to carry a wall bracket
Repetitive lifts are exactly where a jib earns its keep — the free site visit confirms reach, arc and mounting before anything is ordered.
Sizing it properly
Four Things Decide the Right Jib
-
Capacity
The heaviest piece the station handles — with the margin the duty deserves.
-
Reach
Arm length from the pivot to the furthest pick point. Every extra metre is leverage the mounting must resist.
-
Rotation arc
180°–200° against a wall, 360° on a pillar — the arc has to cover pick-up and set-down.
-
Mounting structure
The wall, column or foundation takes the whole moment — it gets engineered, not assumed.
