Following the detailed case to learn more about floor mounted jib crane and mobile jib crane.
Flloor mounted jib crane is a small lifting equipment generally installed in workshop and warehouse, the working range of jib crane is limited but it has a very obvious advantage during production, it can rotate motorized and manually from 180 degree to 360 degree, the working area is a circle. Due to its small body, take up little space and easily installation and operation, floor jib crane is popular with clients. As for freestanding jib crane, the most important is to make foundation, DQCRANES will provide the foundation drawing the detailed procedure of making foundation to clients, according the drawing and procedure, the foundation is not a problem.
There is another type of jib crane which doesn’t need to make foundations, but it has the same function as jib crane, it is portable type mobile jib crane with a base plate and wheels, the wheels are fixed when it is lifting can handling, when it is moving, the lifting and handling work should be stopped, in other words, moving, stop lifting; lifting, stop moving; use wheels to instead of foundation, mobile jib crane is in need by some special working condition; DQCRANES ever service one client who want install the jib crane on the roof building, following are the detailed case:
Before introduce the case, DQCRANES need to emphasize that the max lifting capacity of stationary jib crane is 16 ton, generally, the lifting height and arm length is not more than 6m, of course DQCRANES can customize the nonstandard jib crane according to different needs; while the max. Lifting capacity of portable jib crane is 2 ton, the lifting height and arm length not more than 4 meter.
The client is from Pakistan, at first, DQCRANES sent the stationary jib crane quotation, after few emails communications, knowing that the client will install the jib crane on the roof building, in this case, DQCRANES needs to considering the foundation, because the stationary jib crane foundation is at least 1m deep, it is impossible to dig holes on the roof.
DQCRANES asked for site photos to study more, after negotiating with client, we recommend a mobile jib crane, which doesn’t need to make foundation. It seemed portable and movable jib crane solve the problem, but client proposed another question, he thought portable jib crane is not save as stationary jib crane, because it is installed on the roof, he need to consider the safety firstly. With more than 30 years manufacturing experience, DQCRANES understand clients' concern and safety always come first in every DQCRANES' workers. Further discussions, we suggest another solution, which is to make use of existing columns to ensure the safety of jib crane. With the building column dimensions provided by client, we designed a new foundation and it is approved by client side.
Due to limited lifting capacity, portable jib crane is not as popular as floor mount jib crane, but it solves the foundation problem, for most small workshops, it is a better choice.
DQCRANES technical teams are willing to provide any service and best solution to clients, the exact site working condition is very important during crane design.
