A jib crane is a type of crane that is mounted on a wall, floor, or a column. It consists of a horizontal beam, known as the jib, which is supported by a vertical steel column or a wall.
The jib rotates around this supporting structure, providing a circular work area. At the end of the jib, there is a hoist that can move along the jib to lift and move loads.
Jib cranes are versatile and can be used in various settings, including factories, warehouses, and workshops.
They are particularly useful in areas where there is limited floor space, as they can be mounted on walls or columns, and they offer a great deal of flexibility in terms of load positioning. Jib cranes can be operated manually, electrically, or hydraulically, depending on the specific model and requirements.
