Jib Crane

A jib crane is a type of crane that consists of a horizontal arm (jib) that is mounted on a vertical mast or support structure. The jib can rotate horizontally, allowing the crane to move materials in a circular motion. Jib cranes are commonly used in industrial settings for lifting and moving heavy loads within a limited area.

There are different types of jib cranes, including:

1. Wall-mounted jib crane: This type of jib crane is attached to a wall or column and can rotate 180 degrees or more. It is ideal for applications where floor space is limited.

2. Floor-mounted jib crane: This type of jib crane is mounted on a freestanding column or pillar and can rotate 360 degrees. It provides a larger working area and can handle heavier loads compared to wall-mounted jib cranes.

3. Articulating jib crane: Also known as a knuckle boom crane, this type of jib crane has multiple sections that can be articulated or folded. It provides greater flexibility and reach, making it suitable for applications where precise positioning is required.

Jib cranes are commonly used in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and shipping yards. They are designed to improve efficiency and safety in material handling operations by providing a reliable and versatile lifting solution.
