Free standing jib crane is a type of material handling equipment
that consists of a horizontal beam, called a jib, mounted on a
vertical column, or pedestal. The jib can rotate about the pedestal,
allowing it to reach different areas within a workspace. The jib is
typically equipped with a hoist and trolley, which can move along the
length of the jib and lift and transport materials.
Free standing jib cranes are used in a variety of settings, including
warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and construction sites. They are
particularly useful in situations where a traditional overhead crane
is not practical, such as when there is not sufficient headroom or
when the ceiling cannot support the weight of the crane.
One of the main advantages of a free standing jib crane is its
flexibility. It can be placed and positioned anywhere within a
workspace, as long as there is sufficient floor space and the
structure can support the weight of the crane. This allows the jib
crane to be used in a variety of applications, such as loading and
unloading materials from trucks, moving materials within a workshop,
or assembling products.
Another advantage of a free standing jib crane is its ease of
installation. Unlike an overhead crane, which requires significant
structural modifications to a building, a free standing jib crane can
be easily assembled and disassembled, making it an ideal solution for
temporary or mobile applications.
There are several different types of free standing jib cranes,
including wall-mounted jib cranes, column-mounted jib cranes, and
freestanding jib cranes.
