Jib Cranes
Local lifting from 250 kg to 20 tons, in wall, column, pillar, mast, portable and davit mountings.
Six jib crane specifications covering the lifts that should never be waiting for the bay crane. Capacities run from 250 kg on the wall-mounted units up to 20 tons on the marine davit crane, with slewing ranges of 180, 270 or 360 degrees depending on the mounting, and electric, manual or pneumatic hoisting.

The problem
What This Group Is Built To Solve
A shared overhead crane is a queue. Every workstation that needs a lift competes for it, and the time lost is invisible because nobody measures it. A jib crane at the station that lifts most often usually pays back faster than any other piece of handling equipment in the building, and it costs a fraction of a bay crane plus its runway.
Who buys these
Who This Range Is For
Workshops and Machine Shops
A jib crane at a single workstation gives that operator their own hook, covering a circular working area without repositioning.
Warehouses and Loading Bays
Pillar cranes are floor mounted with no building support, so they stand where the container door or the truck bed is.
Marinas and Shipyards
The davit crane covers 2.5 to 20 tons with corrosion resistant materials, anti-sway control and a variable frequency drive for lifting over water.
Why these
What Makes This Range Different
Mounting Chosen by the Building
Wall and column mountings use no floor space; free-standing, pillar and mast types need no building structure; portable moves between temporary lifting points.
Three Hoisting Configurations
Electric for frequent lifts, manual for occasional, pneumatic where an electric hoist is not permitted. All three are available on the 3 to 6 ton range.
CE Certification on the Pillar Range
The pillar jib cranes are CE certified, which is what most European operations need before the crane can be put into service.
Low Maintenance by Design
Simple structures with few parts. Over a ten year life that usually matters more than the difference in purchase price.

Choosing a Jib Crane Mounting for Your Building
Six mounting types exist because the building constrains the crane more often than the load does. Wall, column, free-standing, articulating, mast and portable each solve a different constraint.
