A jib crane is a lightweight workstation lifting device known for its efficiency, energy-saving design, space-saving structure, and ease of operation and maintenance. It consists of several key components, including the column, rotating arm, support arm with reducer, chain hoist, and electrical system.
Column
The column serves as the main support structure, securing the rotating arm. It uses a single-row tapered roller bearing to withstand both radial and axial forces, ensuring the crane’s stability and safety.
Rotating Arm
The rotating arm is a welded structure made of I-beam and supports. It enables the electric or manual trolley to move horizontally, while the electric hoist lifts and lowers loads. The rotating function around the column enhances flexibility and operational efficiency.


Support Arm and Reducer
The support arm reinforces the rotating arm, enhancing its bending resistance and strength. The reducer drives rollers, enabling smooth and controlled rotation of the jib crane, ensuring stability and reliability in lifting operations.
Chain Hoist
The electric chain hoist is the core lifting component, responsible for lifting and horizontally moving loads along the rotating arm. It offers high lifting efficiency and flexibility, making it suitable for various lifting tasks.
Electrical System
The electrical system includes a C-track with a flat cable power supply, operating at a low-voltage control mode for safety. The pendant control allows precise operation of the hoist’s lifting speeds, trolley movements, and jib rotation. Additionally, a collector ring inside the column ensures a continuous power supply for unrestricted rotation.
With these well-designed components, jib cranes are ideal for short-distance, high-frequency lifting operations, providing efficient and convenient solutions in various workplaces.
