Electric Jib crane is a small lifting equipment that is commonly found in workshops and warehouses and outdoor applications with raincover, etc. Its working range is limited, but it has a clear advantage during production: it can rotate electrically and manually from 180 degrees to 360 degrees, with a circle or sector working area or coverage area. The motorized Jib cranes are popular among clients due to their small body size, small footprint, and ease of installation and operation.
Floor jib crane - fixed vs.movable jib hoist design
Floor mounted or column mounted fixed jib crane
As for the floor mounted electric jib crane, the most important aspect is to construct the foundation. We will provide the foundation drawing and detailed procedure to clients, and the foundation will not be a problem if the drawing and procedure are followed.

If you want to know more about the fixed jib crane,please feel free to contact us.
Roller travelling movable jib crane
There is another type of electric jib crane that doesn't require foundations but performs the same function as a pillar jib crane; it is called a Movable Jib Crane and has wheels and a base plate; when it is lifting or handling, the wheels must be fixed; when it is moving, the lifting or handling work must stop; in other words, use the wheels in place of a foundation. Movable Jib Crane is required by some special working conditions.
Main Parameters ofMovable jib crane
- Rated load: 0.125- 2 ton
- Base width:1200-1400mm
- Stand bar width: 1018-1218mm

Comparison of floor mounted fixed jib crane v.s.Movable jib crane
Fixed jib crane
Beforepurchasing an slewing jib crane, it is important to note that the maximum lifting capacity of acolumn mountedfixed jib crane is 16 tons, and that the lifting height and arm length should not exceed 6 meters.
Furthermore, nonstandard fixedjib cranes can be customized to meet specific requirements.
Movable jib crane
- The maximum lifting capacity is 2 tons, and the lifting height and arm length cannot exceed 4m.
- Movable jib cranes are less popular than fixed jib cranes due to their limited lifting capacity, but because they solve the foundation problem, they are a better choice for most small workshops.
Wall jib crane- fixed and rail movable jib cranes
Wall mounted or column mounted fixed jib crane
Wall-Mounted Jib Cranes, also known as Wall Bracket Jib Cranes, can be utilized as an addition to an existing monorail or overhead crane, in individual bays, along structurally sound walls, or along building support columns. The ability to save space is the key benefit of adopting a wall-mounted fixed jib crane system. They may be positioned extremely close to the bottom of the smallest ceiling impediment and don't need any kind of floor or foundation support, giving the boom the most space possible both above and below it.
- Lifting Capacity: 0.5-3 ton
- Lifting Height: 1-10 m
- Span: 1-10 m
- Voltage: 220-440V 50/60Hz 3Phase

Wall mounted rail travelling movable jib crane
The wall mounted rail travelling jib crane belongs to the second level of material handling system which operates independently from overhead crane on a workshop level. Wire rope hoists or chain hoists series can be selected for jib hoisting . Wall jib control modes include button control or remote radio control. Wall-mounted rail traveling jib cranes are frequently used in production halls where several workplaces are linked, where the travelling rail or tracks can be mounted on the wall,such as the tightest assembly line, warehouse, or other industrial areas, etc.

Comparison ofwall mountedfixed jib and movable jib crane
Wall-mounted fixed jib cranes
- The rotation provided by this wall mounted fixed jib crane is slightly greater than the 180 degrees you might expect.
- Electric Jib cranes mounted on the wall can be designed to rotate 200 degrees and have no floor footprint. These electric wall cranes store easily and have a large lifting capacity range. The strength of the wall on which the jib crane is mounted will, of course, play a role in jib crane design and installation.
Wall mounted rail travelling movable Jib cranes:
- Wall-traveling jib cranes move on tracks from one side of the wall to the other.
- This type of jib crane allows for greater location flexibility and covering large working area of rectangle shape..
How to get your customized electric jib crane for your particular application?

Our technical team and crane specialists are ready and willing to provide one stop crane service and best solution to clients based on your particular applicaiton and uses.
Which to do you choose, fixed jib crane or movable jib crane ? In the following, the main factors that affect electric jib crane and jib hoist designing are as the following:
Overhead jib crane application
The electric jib hoist crane you need is determined by a variety of factors, and selecting the right crane necessitates a thorough assessment of your requirements and applicationconditions. Here are some considerations to consider when choosing a proper material handling crane.
Lifting capacity of jib crane
Never test the upper limit of the weight scale. That is to say, you should never try to exceed a capacity or design weight that is specified as 5 tons.
It's dangerous to do that. Manufacturers base their capacity ratings on a design load that comprises the crane's capacity rating plus 15% of the capacity for the weight of the hoist and trolley, as well as 25% of the capacity to account for additional impact. Therefore, the weight load indicated represents the actual load.
The Height Under The Boom (HUB) and Rotation
The required distance from the floor to the underside of the boom must be considered when selecting an overhead jib crane. Some cranes allow for greater variation in lifting distance than others.
Boom rotation is also an important consideration. While freestanding and mast-type jib cranes can rotate 360°, wall-mounted and articulating jobs can only rotate 200°.
Power supply of electric jib crane
Another important factor to consider when choosing a jib crane is the amount of power required. Different jib crane models necessitate different power sources (electric or air), which can be connected via the top or bottom entry. Jib cranes can also be completely manual.
If your jib crane is located outside, it may need to be weatherized to protect it from the elements and ensure that your power supply remains uninterrupted.

The client is from the Philippines, and we initially sent the column mounted fixed jib crane quote. After a few emails, we learned that the client will install the electric jib crane on the roof of the building. In this case, we must consider the jib foundation, because the Ffixed jib crane foundation is at least 1m deep, and digging holes on the roof is impossible.
ElectricJib crane design step 2. Jib crane design based on application:Movable jib crane is not safe?
Our jib crane specialist requested site photos for further investigate; after discussion with the client, we recommended the movable jib crane, which does not require foundation. It showed up that a movable jib crane would solve the problem, but the client raised another concern: he believed that a movable jib crane would not be as safe as a fixed jib crane because it would be installed on the building top roof , and he needed to consider safety first. Because of this our engineer proposed another solution even though the roller jib crane also can be very safe with proper operation.
ElectricJib crane design step 3. Suitable Jib crane solution: Take advantages of your existing having!
With over 34 years of crane manufacturing experience, we understand our clients' concerns, and safety is always prioritized for all working staff. Following further discussion, we propose another solution, which is to use existing columns to ensure the safety of the electric jib crane. We designed a new foundation using the building column dimensions provided by the client, and it has been approved by the client.
