A jib crane has an electric chain hoist (or wire rope hoist) mounted on one end of its rotating jib for lifting goods or workpieces; a counterweight is installed at the other end, rotating simultaneously with the jib for balance. This lifting equipment features simple structure, convenient operation, flexibility, large working space, and wide applicability. It is widely used in factory production lines, assembly lines, warehouses, docks, and other fixed locations for short-distance, frequent material handling.

The jib crane is a light to medium duty system, with rated working capacities of 0.25T, 0.5T, 1T, 2T, 3T, 5T, 10T, and 16T. The jib length and column height are customized according to the work requirements. The slewing angle of the rotating jib can be selected from different angles such as 180กใ, 270กใ, and 360กใ, depending on the application.
