Portable Jib Cranes: choosing a mobile jib crane for workplace

Advantages of mobile jib crane:

• Time-saving procedure.
• More comfortable to operate.
• Cost-effective. 

Choosing a jib crane for workplace use:

• Reach/Boom – the horizontal beam on which the trolley moves back and forth on.
• Movable Hoist – the Hoist is utilized for lifting, lowering and holding a load.
• Travelling Trolley – the motion of the trolley can be manual, or motorized.
• Rotation – on freestanding, movable type and mast type jib cranes, the boom rotation can be 360°—180 ° of rotation for on wall and column-mounted jib cranes.
• Electrification/Power – electric collector rings can be added to the top or bottom of the mast to give rotation assistance and enable for continuous 360° boom rotation.
• Controls – on motorized jib systems, you can utilize a push-button controller to handle the up-down motion of Hoist, cross travel motion of trolley and the rotation of the boom. Multi-speed or variable speed controls are also available for the Hoist and trolley.
• Hook Height – This determines the height you can go or want to go with your lifts. You’ll have to know the lowest overhead impediment to know how tall your jib crane can be.
• Rotation Stopper – if the crane is placed near to a wall or other barrier, a rotation stopper will limit the crane’s motion before it collides with a nearby object.
• Environmental Considerations.
