Jib Cranes

Spanco has a wide variety of jib cranes that offer durability and reliability. Our jib cranes include:

• Articulating jib cranes: These jibs can precisely navigate loads around obstacles in work areas, like columns, machinery, corners, and containers.
• Foundationless jib cranes: These slab-mounted systems can be installed anywhere in your facility because they don’t require a special foundation pour.
• Freestanding jib cranes: This crane has the flexibility of being installed with other crane systems or on its own in an open area or small workstation, indoors or outdoors. They offer higher lift capacities, greater rotation, and longer spans.
• Mast-style jib cranes: The mast-style jib cranes mount to building columns or a 6-inch thick reinforced concrete floor. With 360-degree rotation, this jib crane allows you to access any part of your work area.
• Portable base jib cranes: The Spanco 500-Series portable crane offers the lifting capacity of a jib crane with the advantage of mobility. These cranes are ideal for repetitive load transfers to reduce manual labor.
• Wall-mounted jib cranes: A wall-mounted jib crane is mounted to your building’s existing support beams. Since these models don’t need a foundation or floor space, you can maximize space utilization under and above the boom.
• Wall-traveling jib cranes: Our wall-traveling jib cranes have a cantilever frame with or without a trolley and are fixed on a side wall or columns in the building. The crane moves along a runway, so it can “travel” wherever you need along the wall or column. Like the wall-mounted options, wall-traveling jib cranes require no floor space.

Benefits of a Spanco Jib Crane

Jib cranes are among the most versatile cranes, and they support various capabilities and design options. Industrial jib cranes are used in facilities with limited space available. They are easy to operate, low-maintenance, and offer more ergonomic lifting capabilities.

Jib cranes offer several advantages for your operations, including:

• Enhanced worker productivity: Jibs effectively lift and move heavy items to reduce manual labor and increase efficiency. They are practical for transferring materials short distances between workstations.
• Seamless operation: They offer precise movement control when transporting loads in confined or tight spaces where other lifting equipment fails.
• Cost savings: Jib cranes are a versatile, cost-effective option for outdoor applications. They can supplement large overhead cranes to provide flexibility and adaptability.
• Quality control: They assist in the precise placement of parts and tools for seamless machine assembly.
• Improved safety: They facilitate the smooth transfer of heavy objects, reducing the risk of accidents and workplace injuries.

Industrial Applications of Jib Cranes

Jib cranes have many potential applications but are mostly used for repetitive lifting in small work areas of production environments or moving materials to nearby workstations in outdoor and indoor locations. They streamline production lines in these sectors:

• Automotive industry: Handle and assemble heavy automotive parts while reducing risk and manual labor.
• Construction: Lift heavy materials such as steel beams.
• Manufacturing: Move raw materials and finished products and load and unload trucks.
• Shipping: Load boats and transfer items between docks or trucks.
• Warehousing: Stack, restack, and load and unload trucks.
• Mining: Navigate narrow passages to load ore on carts, lower tools into shafts, and precisely place beams.
