STREET JIB CRANES - Slewing Jib Cranes
Street slewing jib cranes are available in a wide range of standard formats in capacities from 125kg to 6300kg. Larger specially designed options are available on request. Street Crane offer two formats of jib crane, the pillar or post-mounted jib and the wall or column mounted. Each of these may be equipped with chain hoists or wire rope hoists with the additional options of electric travel and electric slewing gear. The jib arm may be under or over braced to maximise height of lift or travel. Post-mounted jibs can be constructed to provide a slewing angle 360°. Fixed jibs and monorail solutions may be appropriate for other applications.

More Info on Jib Cranes
This type of crane consists of a pivoting head and boom assembly which carries a hoist and trolley unit. The pivoting head is supported either by a floor-mounted mast providing 360 degree boom rotation or by an existing building column which provides 180 degrees of boom rotation.
- Capacities to 10 tons
- 360 º or 180º rotation
- Motorized or manual rotation
- Baseplate, pipe, wall or column mounted systems
- simpler and less expensive than bridge or gantry
- precise spotting for light loads (e.g. a few hundred kilograms or less)
Common Applications:
The most common applications for jibs are individual workstations; e.g., machine tools, welding/fabrication stations, and some small assembly stations. They are also often used in simple loading / unloading operations where it is not necessary to spot a load precisely.
Jib cranes most often handle lighter loads at lower duty cycles than their bridge and gantry crane counterparts. A "classic" application for jibs is to outfit an assembly floor with a series of jibs at individual workstations, which are then supported by an overhead crane to lift / carry full assemblies. The hook coverage is limited to the boom length (typically a maximum of 5m.). The hook operates along a boom which rotates about a fixed point.
If there is a need for precise locating of heavy loads, a large area of hook coverage, or frequent use for heavy loads, the jib crane may not be the best solution.
