Jib cranes are known for their asymmetrical jib arm design and are utilised to vertically lift and horizontally manoeuvre light to medium loads, improving the effective productivity, technical capability, and safety of any material handling operation.

With their jib arm (sometimes referred to as a boom) configured to operate within a set circular area, a jib crane is a great solution for tighter workspaces where a dedicated lifting capability in a specific work area is required. Jib cranes can be fixed in place as wall mounted jib crane or freestanding column mounted jib crane variants, or portable, depending on the intended application and design.

Often found sharing the same workspace as larger gantry bridge cranes and workstation overhead crane systems, jib cranes have a comparatively small footprint, and can be used in conjunction with gantry cranes, attached and deployed under the gantry bridge itself.

Highly customisable, jib cranes can be outfitted with a variety of attachments to meet the requirements of the task at hand, including hoists, tool balancers, air balancers, and vacuum lifters, to name but a few.
