Portable Jib Cranes Product
IntroductionPortable jib cranes are a type of mobile cantilever crane designed for flexible and efficient material handling. Compared with fixed jib cranes, portable jib cranes offer superior mobility, wide adaptability, and fast deployment, making them an essential emergency lifting solution for automated production lines. With portable jib cranes, production flow can continue smoothly without interruption.
Each portable jib crane is equipped with an electric chain hoist or wire rope hoist mounted at the end of a 360-degree rotating jib arm, allowing safe and precise lifting of materials and workpieces.
A counterweight system is installed on the opposite side of the jib, rotating synchronously with the arm to provide excellent balance and operational stability. They are typically moved unloaded, with mobility options including manual push, electric drive, or trolley towing. Facility layouts can be flexibly adjusted, and boom relocation requires no foundation changes. Portable jib cranes are widely used in factories, workshops, warehouses, outdoor job sites, and industrial plants. They are ideal for small equipment installation, material loading and unloading, and workpiece handling, especially in low-height buildings or locations where overhead cranes cannot be installed.
Portable Jib Cranes Features
Mobile Design for Multi-Workstation Use
Unlike fixed column jib cranes, portable jib cranes are mounted on a mobile base and can be easily moved between workstations. One crane can serve multiple working areas, making it ideal for flexible production lines and temporary lifting tasks.
Optimized for Light-Duty and High-Frequency Lifting
Designed for light loads and short-distance handling, portable jib cranes are ideal for frequent lifting, positioning, and transfer of parts and workpieces. They are not intended for heavy continuous loads but excel in efficiency-focused operations.
No Foundation Required, Fast Deployment
The crane does not require a concrete foundation or permanent installation. It can be put into service quickly, making it suitable for workshops with limited space, temporary workstations, or frequent layout changes.
Manual or Electric Rotation Options
Available with manual or motorized rotation and compatible with electric chain hoists or wire rope hoists, allowing users to select the most suitable configuration based on load, frequency, and budget.
Portable Jib Cranes Configuration Options
Manual Portable Jib Cranes
- Used in conjunction with an electric hoist.
- When the portable jib cranes are moved to a fixed station, the feet need to be locked.
