Ergonomic Lifting Where You Need It.
Don't tie up your facility's overhead bridge crane for localized tasks. Jib cranes provide dedicated, ergonomic lifting power right at the workstation. Whether you need a 360° freestanding mast or a space-saving wall-mounted system, we engineer the setup for your assembly line.
Why Install a Jib Crane?
Dedicated lifting at the workstation, sized to the boom length and capacity your job needs rather than the one the catalogue leads with.
Up to 360° rotation: Freestanding models offer a complete circular coverage area, allowing a single operator to move heavy materials effortlessly between multiple adjacent workstations.
Zero floor footprint: Maximize tight shop floors by utilizing your existing building columns or walls. Wall-mounted tie-rod and cantilever designs provide heavy lifting without taking up valuable floor space.
Ergonomic load handling: Easy-swing enclosed track booms let operators push and pull heavy loads with minimal exertion, drastically reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
Seamless integration: Outfit the trolley with electric chain hoists, pneumatic balancers or intelligent vacuum lifters to make a complete material handling solution.
Versatile capacities & spans: From lightweight 50 lb enclosed track aluminium systems to 5-ton structural I-beam cranes, we size the boom length and capacity to your exact needs.

Freestanding vs. Wall-Mounted
Coverage and floor space pull in opposite directions — the building usually decides this, not the load.
| Feature | Freestanding (Pillar) | Wall / Column Mounted |
|---|---|---|
| Rotation radius | 360° full circle | 180°–200° arc |
| Floor space required | Yes (base plate) | None (zero footprint) |
| Foundation requirements | Concrete assessment | Wall / column check |
| Max capacity potential | Up to 5+ tons | Up to 5 tons |
| Relocation difficulty | Hard (foundation bolted) | Moderate (unbolt from column) |
