Structure & components

A movable jib crane is a small crane that moves around and is made up of a cantilever, column, rotating arm device, manual or electric hoist, and a broad mobile base. The hoist is suspended from the jib cantilever, which is supported by the column and mounted on a broad base with wheels and rollers. The movable jib crane with hoist trolley can lift loads up and down and travel horizontally on the jib arm. The movable jib crane, with its wheels and broad base, can be moved stably and smoothly to any designated location in any direction. With the use of movable jib cranes, you can improve your working efficiency, reduce handling time, and reduce worker labor intensity.

• Structure of moveable jib crane-The main components of the mobile jib are: mobile base, counterweight, column, cantilever, electric chain hoist (here we use electric chain hoist as the default lifting device, other lifting devices can be selected), electrical control box, etc.
• Structure of mobile jib crane base - The base of the mobile jib crane is mainly divided into: mobile steering wheel, base, rolling bearing, etc., which are mainly used for load-bearing parts. The three components are determined by the tonnage and the length of the rotating arm of the required mobile jib crane. The specific diameter of the steering wheel is subject to the actual drawing. The force of the base is mainly the force of the load, and the base structure will also be equipped with fasten feet and, movable feet, etc.
• Jib / Cantilever design of mobile jib crane - The jib arm or cantilever part of movable crane is generally grouped into I-beam jib, KBK track jib and folding jib. Usually, when the capacity of mobile jib crane is 150kg 250kg 500kg, the kbk jib design will be adopted. When the capacity of movable crane is 1t 2t, the I-beam jib arm will be adopted, etc. The jib arm design will be selected based on the lifting capacity or load weight, the length of jib arm or cantilever, depending on your specific application conditions.
• Slewing design of movable jib crane- the rotation angle of movable floor jib crane can be divided into 180°, 270°, 360°, etc., and the rotation method is divided into manual or electric rotation. if electric rotation is used, the additional supporting rotary motors, electric control boxes, and other parts are required.
• Movable roller design of the small jib crane - The built-in running mechanism adopts special engineering plastic running wheels with rolling bearings, which has low friction force and travels briskly; the structure size is small, which is beneficial to improve the hook height.
• Column part- The supporting column part of the mobile jib crane is generally made of round pipe or square pipe. The specific size is determined according to the tonnage, which can achieve the characteristics of light weight, large span, large lifting capacity, and economical efficiency;
• Counterweight- The counterweight is a unique accessory part of the mobile jib crane. It is mainly used for counterweight to balance the overall balance and ensure the safe use of the cantilever crane.
• Electric chain hoist (hoisting mechanism)- The optional design of electric chain hoist is generally divided into single-speed, double-speed, traveling trolley hoist, fixed type hook suspension hoist, etc. As for kbk type mobile jib crane, the hook suspension electric chain hoist is usually used. If I-beam is used as the rotating arm, an electric trolley traveling chain electric hoist needs to be used.

The above is a simple analysis of main structural parts of the mobile jib crane. The different jib structures and construction materials will be selected based on the different tonnages and arm lengths. The small jib crane has a high degree of versatility and can be used at a variety of sites, reducing the cost of crane construction in different locations and freeing up workshop floor space. The jib crane is highly adaptable, as it can be detached from the base and mounted to the floor.As for your customized mobile jib crane, please feel free to contact us.

Features and advantages of Mobile Jib Crane

• Cost-saving - Because of its simple structure, the moveable jib crane can be processed at a lower cost than an overhead traveling crane with few mounted structures installed around your workshop, and it can also be a good complement to the stationary type overhead crane system.
• Space saving- mobile jib cranes are designed with a self-supportive jib column mounted on a broad base to ensure stability, but without a concrete foundation or being bolted to the ground, which saves workshop floor space and allows the portable crane to be moved easily and flexibly from site to site.
• High flexibility - The moveable jib crane on wheels with wheels and a broad base can be moved smoothly and safely in any direction to the designated location.
• 360°rotation -With a 360°rotation design, the cantilever or jib arm of the movable floor jib crane can rotate around the supporting column with a wide working coverage area, going beyond the limitations and obstacles on the workshop floor.
• Simple operation - These units require no formal training or certification to operate, and their design is purposefully simple to encourage accessibility.
• High efficiency - By using movable jib cranes, you can improve your working efficiency, reduce handling time, and reduce worker labor intensity.
• High safety - Various protection divers are used to ensure the portable crane's safety. Overload safeguards, High-quality, long-lasting polyurethane materials buffer, Crane movement and a cross-limit switch, Lowering the voltage protects the function and reduces energy consumption.
• Various configurations, wide applications - The portable roller jib crane can be designed with a variety of lifting hoists to meet a variety of needs, such as manual hoists or air hoists, or electric hoists, such as electric chain hoists, electric wire rope hoists, or European standard overhead hoists, and so on. The roller movable jib crane can lift loads in any direction up and down, traveling horizontally on the cantilever forwards and backwards, using the suspended hoist.

Small movable jib cranes, with their distinct advantages, can be excellent choices for light duty material handling. With specific applications and requirements, customized jib crane solutions can be provided at a low crane price. Whatever type of jib crane is required, we can provide a customized design at a reasonable price, including mast-style jib cranes, wall traveling cranes, wall mounted cranes, column mounted cranes, freestanding cranes, and so on.

Jib hoists

There are various jib hoists available for different jib crane designs and application requirements. Jib hoisting systems include electric hoists, manual hoists, chain fall hoists, and wire rope hoists, among others. Swing jib cranes designed specifically for your application are ideal.

Mobile Slewing Jib Crane Application

Because of its movable jib crane design, the cantilever jib crane is commonly used as a lifting solution for short distance and concentrated material handling, or in workshops where overhead travelling crane systems are not possible. Small movable jib cranes, in particular, can be a good alternative lifting equipment for automatic production lines with high efficiency in an emergency. Regular rolling jib cranes, on the other hand, are not permitted to lift molten metal, toxic substances, flammable and explosive materials.
Mobile jib cranes are commonly used in factories, mines, workshops, the field, warehouses, workshop production lines, assembly lines, mechanical processing, small equipment installation, and light lifting of warehouses, docks, and other locations.
