What Are Jib Cranes?
Jib cranes are a type of overhead lifting device often used for repetitive tasks. They are widely used in the automotive and construction industries because of their versatility and cost effectiveness.
Jib cranes have a simple 3 component structure: the arm, the trolley, and the lifting device. The arm provides horizontal movement for the trolley, which supports the lifting device and the weight of the load. It rotates around an axis to give radial movement. The operator can slide the trolley along the arm of the jib crane, which is connected to the lifting device. It enables the lifting device to move along the arm to complete the handling operation.
Typical lifting devices include electric chains hoists, pneumatic chain hoists, or vacuum tube lifters. These can also have additional end effectors, like bespoke grippers.
As one of the most versatile cranes available on the market, jib cranes offer a low-cost, easy-to-use and reliable manual handling solution.

Why Are Jib Cranes Used?
Jib cranes are optimal for lifting loads in small, tight areas. They can lift loads by themselves or support a larger crane system. Highly durable, versatile, and powerful jib cranes are an ideal solution for a wide variety of applications.
Industries like automotive or pick-and-packing often have manual handling problems that are not easily solved with a standard product. Bespoke lifting equipment like grippers can be devised to work with a jib crane thanks to their functional design.
This design also makes jib cranes suitable for repetitive handling tasks. They safely and efficiently lift and move loads for workers, improving health and safety and boosting productivity.
The Benefits Of Using Jib Cranes
Jib cranes can increase production efficiency and reduce injuries in the workplace. They can benefit your workers and business and can help in various ways:
- Lifting something too heavy for a person to handle manually.
- Raising an item to a location that is not easily accessible for the person.
- Reducing the risk of Musculoskeletal injuries and repetitive strain injury through incorrect manual handling.
- Avoid employee fatigue.
- Improving the efficiency of the production line.
- Reducing the risk of workplace accidents and damage to products
This material handling equipment is a good long-term investment for any business. As a cost-effective and reliable solution, jib cranes are a great first step to reducing the risk of injury for your workers.
