Freestanding Jib Cranes require a foundation anywhere from 3 ft deep to 4 ft square and up to 5 ft deep to 11 ft square. If columns or walls are not available, a Freestanding Jib Crane will provide an optimal range of capacity and span compared to a wall mounted or column mounted crane.
Freestanding jib cranes have three installation capabilities:
- A Standard concrete mount is a permanent installation
- A sleeve mount installation allows for future relocation of the jib crane
- A base plate mount requires extra space
Features

IMPORTANT NOTE:
A SPANCO Free Standing Jib Crane is designed to be mounted to a permanent concrete foundation. The recommended foundations for a free standing jib crane are based on a soil pressure of 2,500 lbs. per sq. ft. It is solely the customer's responsibility to provide the proper foundation for the jib crane; there should be no deviation from the recommended foundation size without first consulting a qualified professional. The jib crane's boom or I-beam is designed to meet all specifications utilizing a 25% factor of rated load for impact and 15% of rated load for hoist and trolley weight. The pipe mast or column of the jib crane is designed to give maximum strength and minimum deflection to resist bending, buckling, and crushing, as well as wear by the trunnion roller assembly. The bearings in this jib crane are designed for a 5000 hour B-10 design life.
