Tie Rod Free Standing Jib Cranes with C-Beam Product Introduction
Tie rod free standing jib cranes with C-beam utilizes a strategic tie-rod connection between the pillar and the boom to distribute loads based on triangular stability principles. By adjusting the rod’s length and angle, operators can achieve precise compensation for the boom’s height and levelness. While it does not reach the maximum tonnages of electric free standing jib cranes (which can lift up to 5,000kg), this design offers superior effective reach and ergonomic maneuverability within the lightweight crane category. The main beam features the industry-proven KBK hollow track, ensuring exceptionally low travel resistance for rapid material handling via manual adjustment in confined workspaces. With a lifting capacity of up to 1,000kg, it is an ideal solution for workstations requiring frequent, effortless movement. However, operators must strictly follow relevant safety specifications and requirements to ensure secure operations at all times.
Tie Rod Free Standing Jib Cranes with C-Beam Features
- Detailed Load & Span Grading: The boom lengths and lifting capacities are precisely graded to meet specific operational requirements with high accuracy.
- Precise Working Radius Control: Integrated slewing limit stops allow for the accurate adjustment and restriction of the rotation range to suit the workspace.
- Versatile Hoist Options: A wide range of hoists is available to match different lifting speeds and positioning precision needs.
- Customized Control Systems: Control modes can be tailored to your needs, supporting either pendant cable connection or wireless remote control.
- Comprehensive Electrical Package: The delivery includes a full set of integrated electrical equipment for a “ready-to-use” installation.
- Weather-Resistant Configuration: Cranes for outdoor installation can be equipped with specialized weather protection accessories to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
C-Beam vs I-Beam: Key Differences in Tie Rod Free Standing Jib Cranes

The primary difference between these two tie-rod free standing jib cranes lies in the track profile: one features a hollow enclosed C-Beam, while the other utilizes a solid structural I-Beam.
| Параўнальны памер | C-Beam | I-Beam |
|---|---|---|
| Track Structure | Ω-shaped hollow steel: Cold-rolled and bent to shape, lightweight and dust-resistant. | I-section solid steel: Hot-rolled solid steel with high rigidity. |
| Manual Resistance | Smoother operation: Cold-rolled inner walls are smooth, resulting in reduced rolling resistance. | Steady operation: The roller runs along the flange, providing a more solid load-bearing feel. |
| Performance Ceiling | Lightweight and responsive: Designed for high-frequency ergonomic handling of loads under 1000kg. | High rigidity: Withstands loads up to 2000kg, offering superior torsional resistance. |
Choose tie rod free standing jib cranes with C-beam when your application involves loads under 1000 kg, high-frequency manual operation, and clean indoor environments where smooth movement and low resistance are priorities.
Choose I-Beam when handling heavier loads (up to 2000 kg), requiring higher structural rigidity, stronger torsional resistance, or planning for electric hoist upgrades and heavy-duty industrial use.
Tie-Rod vs Column-Mounted Free Standing Jib Cranes

Параўнальны памер | Tie-Rod Free Standing Jib Cranes with C-Beam | Электрычныя асобнастаячыя кансольныя краны |
|---|---|---|
| Track / Beam Type | Hollow enclosed C-beam, lightweight with low rolling resistance. | Typically I-beam or heavy box beam structure for higher rigidity and load bearing. |
| Грузападымальнасць | Up to 1,000 kg, designed for light-duty workstation lifting. | Up to 5,000 kg, suitable for medium- to heavy-duty industrial handling. |
| Max. Boom Length | Up to 8 m, optimized for lightweight outreach. | Up to 10 m depending on load configuration. |
| Кут павароту | Up to 270°. | 180° / 270° / 360° optional. |
| Slewing Method | Manual rotation. | Electric motor-driven rotation. |
| Handling Efficiency | Best for high-frequency, short-distance manual handling with precise positioning. | Higher efficiency for repetitive lifting and larger material flow operations. |
| Column Load & Foundation | Tie-rod shares load stress, reducing column force and foundation requirements. | Column is the primary load-bearing structure; requires reinforced foundation and anchor bolts. |
Choose a tie rod free standing jib cranes with C-beam when your application involves loads under 1 ton, high-frequency manual handling, and workstation-level precision where smooth movement and low rolling resistance are critical.
Choose an electric free standing jib crane when handling heavier loads (up to 5 tons), requiring motorized rotation and lifting, higher structural rigidity, and greater efficiency for repetitive or large-scale industrial operations.
