FAQs About Free Standing Jib Crane
A free standing jib crane, also known as a pillar jib crane, is a type of overhead material handling equipment consisting of a vertical column (pillar) and a horizontal boom (jib) that can rotate 360°. It is designed to provide efficient lifting and load positioning in a defined work area without requiring support from the building structure.
Most free standing jib cranes are equipped with a slewing mechanism that allows the boom to rotate 360° manually (by hand) or electrically (with a motorized rotation system), depending on the model and user preference.
Free standing jib cranes are compatible with various hoist types, including:
- Manual chain hoists
- Electric chain hoists
- Electric wire rope hoists
- Air hoists (for explosive or hazardous environments)
The hoist typically travels along the boom via a trolley for horizontal load positioning.
Yes. A properly designed foundation is essential to ensure stability and safety. The foundation typically consists of a reinforced concrete base with anchor bolts to secure the column. MecBase provides foundation design drawings and installation manuals with each crane.
Yes. We offer full customization, including:
- Lifting capacity
- Boom length
- Lifting height
- Rotation type (manual or motorized)
- Hoist type and brand
- Control method
- Corrosion protection for outdoor or harsh environments
- Special colors or coatings
To select the appropriate crane, consider:
- Maximum load weight
- Working radius (distance from column to load)
- Lifting height
- Frequency of use
- Environmental conditions (indoor/outdoor, temperature, corrosive factors)
- Power availability (electric or manual)
Our engineering team can assist with selection and provide a tailored solution.
