The
jib cranes, with manual or electric
rotation, in both column or wall-mounted
models, are designed to handle the goods
inside a plant, in a yard or next to
a processing machinery. The jib cranes
have three functions:
- Lifting a load vertically using the
hook of the lifting unit, generally
consisting of a chain hoist;
- Traveling of the load with the help
of a hoist-carrying trolley, electric
or manual, which runs along the jib
of the crane (except for the crane with
an articulated jib where the hoist is
fixed at the jib end);
Slewing the load, around the constraint
axis, pushed by hand or electrically
by means of a motor reducer, covering
the circular area underneath it, bound
by the slewing range of the jib.

Key parameters to be observed when
choosing a jib crane are:
Functional dimensions: height of the jib,
which determines the hook path of the hoist,
and its length must be selected so as to guarantee
the functional covering of the area to be served
in consideration of the surrounding obstacles.
Capacity: It is determined by the
heaviest load to be lifted.
Type of movement: manual or electric, in relation
to the features of the load to be handled and the type of jib chosen
(channel profile – cantilever – overbraced – articulated jib).
Nature of the load: delicate or not, determines for its
positioning the choice of the most suitable speeds of lifting
and traveling. Two speeds hoists can be used, with slow positioning speed.
Area of use:
the jib crane can be used inside and/or in a covered area,
sheltered from bad weather and wind. In case of use outside, measures
must be taken in relation to the surface treatment (sandblasting – painting)
as well as a system of stopping brake and an adequate protection covers.
