Column Mounted Jib Crane for Sale in Saudi Arabia

Specifications

Column Mounted Jib Crane is a series of jib crane which has a column fixed on the ground. According the structure type, it can be divided to freestanding jib crane, foundationless jib crane, mast type jib crane and articulated jib crane. Below we will discuss these 4 types column jib cranes one by one, you will know more about these jib crane and make right choice for your project.

Freestanding Jib Crane

Freestanding jib crane is the most popular type of jib system because they can be installed virtually anywhere including indoors or outdoors. Freestanding jib crane systems can be used underneath large bridge crane systems, or in open areas where they can support individual work cells. They can be used outdoors at marinas or loading docks, and indoors for machining and assembly operations where multiple jibs can be used in conjunction for staged operation.

Standard Configuration

• Lifting capacity: 0.5-10 tons
• Lifting height: according your needs
• Span: 1-12m

Customized Configuration

• Lifting capacity can be up to 16 tons, and lifting height can be up to 50 meters.

Advantage and Disadvantage of Freestanding Jib Crane

To maintain its stability, freestanding jib cranes are fixed to a square foundation base. Advantage of this type of crane is it doesn't need a support wall or structure and provides optimal range of span and control. Compared to other jib crane systems, freestanding systems offer the highest capacities, longest spans, and greatest amount of rotation. However, freestanding jib cranes are among the most expensive systems and the most permanent setup due to the special foundation that is required to anchor and secure the crane and support the load during a lift.

Foundationless Pillar Jib Crane

This is a type of freestanding jib crane that is mounted on a slab. This crane is used indoors, and it does not require any unique foundation. It, therefore, can be installed anywhere within your facility and be easily relocated if needed. A foundationless jib crane can accommodate up to 4m and 360-degree rotation. They are easy to install, cost-efficient, and very portable.

Standard Configuration

• Lifting Capacity: 250kg-2 tons
• Span: 1-4 m
• Lifting Height: 1-4 m

While their ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, and portability make freestanding jibs attractive for certain applications, they do have a much lower capacity than typical freestanding jib cranes with a poured foundation.

Mast type Jib Crane

Mast type jib cranes are a cost-effective alternative to freestanding jib crane systems because they don't require a special foundation. Mast type jib cranes only need 6'' of reinforced concrete to support the crane because they require additional support from an existing overhead support beam or structure.

Standard Configuration

• Lifting capacity: 0.5-2 tons
• Span: 1-12m
• 360° rotation
• Boom heights up to 40' (distance from floor to overhead top support)

Mast type jib cranes are similar to freestanding systems and can be used for the same type of heavy-duty/high-productivity applications. However, they do require an overhead beam or support structure to provide support in addition to the foundation.

Articulating Jib Crane

Articulating jib crane systems can be floor-mounted, wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, or mounted on a bridge or track system. The variety of configurations allows for precise load positioning and spotting loads around obstructions, through open doors, or rotating in close to the mast or building column - an area where it can be more difficult to maneuver traditional jib cranes.

Compared to traditional jib cranes with one boom, articulating jib cranes have two swivel arms that can lift loads around corners and columns, and reach into or under machinery and containers. The primary boom arm allows for 200° swivel and the outer arm allows for up to 360° of rotation - providing a greater coverage area and more flexibility closer to the mast or column.

Standard Configuration

• Capacities up to 1 ton
• Span up to 5 m
• Lifting height up to 4 m
• 360° rotation for freestanding and ceiling-mounted systems
• 180° inner arm/360° outer arm for wall-mounted systems

For heavier duty and more frequent lifts, an articulating jib crane might not be the best choice. Their design won't allow for higher capacity lifts and their span is somewhat limited.
