Manual Free Standing Jib Cranes Product Introduction
The manual free standing jib crane is a versatile lifting device designed for light to moderate material-handling tasks. It operates entirely by manual force:
- Manual lifting and lowering are performed through a hand-operated trolley or hoist.
- Manual horizontal travel is achieved by pulling the load or the trolley along the boom.
- Manual rotation of the boom allows the operator to position loads precisely within the working area.
These manual functions make the system ideal for short-distance, high-frequency lifting in environments where power supply may be limited or unnecessary. The crane can be configured with a single-arm or double-arm boom, and optional features such as internal cable routing and rotation limiters can be added to enhance safety and define the working envelope.
Mounted on a floor-anchored column, the manual free standing jib crane provides stable rotation and controlled lifting, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. High-quality bearings ensure smooth boom rotation and improved ergonomic performance.
Manual Free Standing Jib Cranes Structural Composition
The manual free standing jib crane consists of the following major components:
- Column: A vertical steel structure that serves as the primary support. It is anchored to the concrete foundation using chemical bolts to ensure stability during manual rotation and lifting operations.
- Boom (Jib Arm): A horizontal beam connected to the column, providing the working radius for load handling. The boom can rotate manually and is designed to accommodate different working angles and space constraints.
- Tie Rod / Bracing: The tie rod connects the column and the boom, maintaining structural balance. Adjusting its angle and length helps achieve proper boom alignment and load distribution.
- Manual Trolley or Manual Chain Hoists: Manual chain hoists are compact lifting devices used for short-distance handling of small equipment and goods, operated by pulling a hand chain to raise or lower the load. Their key components are made of alloy steel for strength and durability. The load chain uses 800 MPa high-strength 20Mn2 steel, heat-treated for enhanced wear and corrosion resistance. Forged alloy-steel hooks feature a controlled-lift design to reduce the risk of overload. All models comply with CE safety standards. Manual chain hoists are available in multiple types—round, triangular, and mini designs—and in materials such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and explosion-proof options. Proper selection depends on the application, space constraints, lifting capacity, and required lifting height.
The manual free standing jib crane is widely used in workshops, production lines, assembly areas, CNC machine loading/unloading, warehouses, small factories, and port-side material-handling tasks. It is particularly suited for:
- Limited-space work areas
- Repetitive lifting tasks
- Situations that require precise manual control
- Low-energy or power-restricted environments
Manual Free Standing Jib Cranes Features
A manual column-mounted jib crane is typically used for simple lifting and material-handling tasks in smaller sites or confined workspaces. Its operation is relatively straightforward, and tasks can be completed quickly through manual adjustments.
The column is manufactured using square tubing or round steel pipe, with a base plate and an arc plate welded to each end, and a ring-type track installed at the top. The base plate is anchored to the concrete floor using chemical bolts to ensure the stability of the manual rotating jib crane.
The arc plate is punched with shaped openings to allow concealed cable routing inside the column.
When using the jib crane, safe operating procedures must be strictly followed, including compliance with relevant safety standards and the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
The equipment features a simple structure, convenient manual operation, flexible rotation, and a spacious, safe working area.
