Jib Cranes
Up to 6 Ton Jib Crane
A jib crane range for 3 to 6 ton duty with a rated loading capacity of 0.25 to 10 tons and a 360 degree slewing range.
Product Overview
A jib crane range for 3 to 6 ton duty with a rated loading capacity of 0.25 to 10 tons and a 360 degree slewing range. Arms are adjustable to the application, the boom is horizontal so the hook covers a circular working area, and electric, manual and pneumatic hoisting configurations are all available. Six mounting types are offered: wall-mounted, column mounted, free-standing, articulating, mast type and portable.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Six Mounting Types Against One Duty
Wall-mounted saves floor space, column mounted is space efficient, free-standing gives accurate positioning, articulating gives precise positioning, mast type provides a stable base, and portable moves easily. The mounting, not the tonnage, is usually what the site actually constrains.
Full 360 Degree Slew
A complete circle of rotation means the crane can pick from a delivery point and place on a machine without the load being handed over or the crane repositioned.
Three Hoisting Configurations
Electric, manual and pneumatic. Pneumatic matters where electric hoists are not permitted; manual is often the right answer for a few lifts a day.
Adjustable Arms
The arms adjust to fit the required reach rather than forcing the workstation layout to match a fixed boom length.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Machine loading and unloading at a single workstation
- Feeding parts onto and off a production machine within a circular reach
- Workshop repair bays lifting assemblies off equipment
- Goods-in areas unloading heavy items from pallets
- Confined cells where an overhead crane cannot reach
- Temporary lifting points using the portable mounting type
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Workstations With Repeated Lifts
A jib crane covering a circular area is faster than a shared overhead crane for a single operator doing the same lift all shift.
Plants Where Electric Hoists Are Restricted
Pneumatic hoisting configurations are available where compressed air is preferred to an electric hoist.
Sites Without Suitable Wall or Column Steel
Free-standing and mast type mountings do not rely on building structure.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Waiting for the Overhead Crane
A single workstation competing for a shared bay crane loses time on every lift. A jib crane gives that station its own hook.
Reach That Does Not Match the Cell
Adjustable arms and six mounting types mean the crane fits the cell rather than the cell being rearranged.
Operator Fatigue on Repeated Lifts
Wireless remote control is available, which removes the pendant and the walking that goes with it.

Sourcing And Inspection
This product is supplied through TrueGlow Imaging, working with manufacturing partners whose facilities are visited and verified rather than taken on trust. In-process quality control and delivery supervision are available so goods are inspected before the container is sealed. Certifications quoted on this page are those stated on the product specification and belong to that product range rather than to our trading entity, so ask for the certificate covering your specific item.
Handling guide
Getting It Right First Time
Step 1
Fix the mounting type first from the building and floor: wall, column, free-standing, mast or portable.
Step 2
Measure the working radius needed, then set the arm length inside that.
Step 3
Choose the hoist configuration: electric for frequent lifts, manual for occasional, pneumatic where required.
Step 4
Check the wall, column or foundation can take the overturning moment at full reach.
Step 5
Confirm whether wireless remote control is required before the electrical package is fixed.
Comparison
How It Compares In Our Range
Which mounting type suits which constraint.
| Wall-Mounted | Saves space. Needs a wall or structure able to carry the moment. |
|---|---|
| Column Mounted | Space efficient. Mounts to an existing building column. |
| Free-Standing | Accurate positioning without relying on building structure. |
| Articulating | Precise positioning, with a jointed arm that reaches round obstacles. |
| Mast Type | Stable base, no building structure required. |
| Portable | Easily moveable to temporary lifting points. |

Guides That Cover This Product
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.
