Wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted jib cranes do not require a foundation or floor space, but instead mount to the building’s existing support beams. Wall-Mounted and Ceiling-Mounted Jib Cranes
Spanco has several jib cranes for sale to lift and transport materials at your jobsite. These machines can be used alone or with other overhead cranes to increase their capabilities. Jib cranes are a type of crane that does repetitive lifting tasks in tight work areas. Material Handling Overhead Jib Crane Options Installation: Your Spanco distributor can review your application and, together with our engineering team, make expert recommendations.Power requirements: Will you need power for your jib crane’s motor drive, its trolley, its hoist, or all three? Will the power supply be electric or air? Bottom or top entry? Indoor or outdoor use?.Actual working span needed: The working (or hook) distance is roughly the length of the boom minus ½ trolley length at each end.
Overall jib crane height: Factor in any attachments, such as electrical entry, so that the crane will be free from overhead obstructions.Height Under Boom: The distance from floor to underside of jib crane’s boom is the height under boom. Also factor in hoist size and lifting height needed.Area of rotation: Freestanding and mast-style jib cranes offer 360-degree rotation wall-mounted cranes offer 180-degree rotation.Capacities: from 100 pounds to 10,000 pounds standard and up to 30,000 pounds depending on span and jib series, with hundreds of pre-engineered models.Freestanding jibs can be weatherized for outdoor use.On some designs, you can use your building’s existing columns or overhead beams to mount our jib cranes, saving you money.We offer models with unrivaled clearance, both above and under the boom. Spanco Jib Cranes maximize space utilization: Wall-mounted jib cranes, ceiling or wall-mounted articulating jib cranes, and wall-traveling jib cranes require no floor space.All of our jibs quickly fold out of the way of overhead cranes.
Our articulating jib cranes have booms with two axes so they can reach around obstacles, such as columns. Hoists, manipulators, or balancers can be installed on the jibs’ booms. These jib cranes can also be used to “hand off” materials to adjacent workstations.
Spanco Jib Cranes lift and transport materials in semi circles (180 degrees) or full circles (360 degrees) around their support structure.
