Over Braced & Under Braced Floor/ Wall Jib & Portable Jib Crane
Jib cranes are classified as under-braced or over-braced jibs based on how the cantilevered arm is supported.
- With an over-braced jib, a tension member extends from the top of the king post to a position about two thirds of the way down the jib arm. This has the advantages of being a lighter structure and allowing the chain hoist to travel as far as possible while yet being as close to the supporting structure as possible. Moreover, it makes it easier to employ specialized track sections in place of rolling beams. The drawback is that for a given lift height, greater headroom is required.
- The cantilever support of an under-braced jib is located under the runway beam. This minimizes the amount of headroom needed while increasing the requirement for a heavier rolled beam and lowering the maximum effective travel.
The overbraced jib requires more headroom to install even though it provides good stability and beam access. An under braced type might be more suitable if there is a lack of room and low ceilings.

Top Braced Jib Cranes
Top braced jib crane -column mounted types
Top braced column mounted jib cranes is a type of pillar jib crane which offers an affordable method of moving materials. It is simple to use this solution. Jib cranes are space-saving, affordable, option for lifting objects.
If overhead cranes are not possible or practical, the over-braced, free-standing jib is beneficial. Jib cranes of this kind provide 270° floor coverage. To satisfy your unique needs, jib cranes can be paired with a vacuum lifter and an electric hoist.
Main specifications of standard column mounted top braced jib cranes
- Lifting Capacity: 250kg~2 t
- Span: 6m~9m
- Lifting Height: 6m~9m
Wall mounted top braced jib crane
Wall Mounted Overbraced Tie Rod Jib Cranes provide hoist coverage and 180 degree of rotation. Two brackets on this jib can be mounted to a building beam or wall. A tie rod is fastened to a bracket at the end of the bottom bracket's boom, which is perpendicular to the wall. The cheapest jib is also the one that requires the most headroom and pulls the hardest on whatever it is mounted to.
Application
For solitary usage in bays, along walls or planter columns, as a supplement to an overhead crane or monorail system, etc. When floor space is just not available, the Overbraced Tie Rod is ideal.
- Also available is our 2-3 Ton
- Wall mounted overbraced jib cranes.
Portable over braced jib crane
Due to its mobility and wide range of uses, it has become an important device in efficient emergency hoisting equipment. Mobile jib cranes can go where needed in any direction. The electric hoist can walk on the pillar, which is suitable for occasions where heavy objects need to walk and rotate. The lifting of heavy objects depends on the lifting of the electric hoist. The lifting equipment has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation, flexible operation, large operating space and wide application range.
- Lifting capacity: 0.1~0.5 ton
- Lifting height：3meter
- Cantilever：3m
- Rotating degree：Customized up to 360 degree.
Features of mobile jib cranes
- Light structure, easy operation and installation.
- Stationary jib cranes are limited by limited space, but mobile cranes do not have this weakness.
- The mobile crane can be manually pushed, and moves freely in a stable working space.
- It can match with wire rope hoist, chain hoist, chain hoist.
Why choose an over braced Jib crane?
Why would you choose an overbraced jib over an underbraced model? There are a few very good reasons! First, and possibly most significantly, the over bracing serves as the crane's primary support from above the jib arm and continues to do so all the way to the conclusion of its length. This is in contrast to an under braced jib, where just a small portion of the arm receives the major support. An over braced crane can be the best option if safety is a priority, as it should be for any lifting operations.
Another great benefit of selecting an over-braced jib is the ease with which the arm may be extended to its full length. There is no bottom bracing to prevent the load from moving freely. You can lift your loads over a broader range of space since a beam trolley can travel the entire length of the jib arm. Trolleys, clamps, and other accessories can be attached to any area of the beam without being constrained in their mobility or orientation thanks to overbracing.
- Enhanced safety.
- Cost efficient.
- Compact structure.
- Easy to operate.
- Secure and reliable.

Underbraced Jib Cranes
Under braced jib crane-column mounted types
Jib cranes with under- or top-bracing design offer a practical technique to handle objects at a reasonable price. Jib cranes are a practical and cost-effective way to lift objects. To maximize lift height, modular cranes top, bottom, or underbraced jib cranes.
Standard specifications of floor mounted under braced jib cranes
- Lifting Capacity: 250kg~16 ton
- Span: 6m~9m
- Lifting Height: 6m~9m
The over braced type of jib crane is the typical design for a space with no headroom limits. An under braced I beam jib crane is designed to hoist the most weight when there is a maximum amount of headroom available.
Under braced jib crane -Wall mounted
The Wall-Mounted Under-Braced I-Beam Jib Crane models come in a wide range of lifting capacities, ranging from 80 kg to 1000 kg (search "i-beam" in the search feature to see the full range). We also provide arm lengths ranging from 2 to 6 meters within this wide selection.
I-Beam Under Braced Jib Cranes are typically utilized when motorized travel is necessary along the length of the arm. They come standard with a powder-coated yellow finish, which is perfect for great visibility in interior applications. The lowest headroom is provided by under-braced versions, which are perfect for usage in spaces with little headroom since they are braced onto the underside of an I-beam beneath the arm.
The I-Beam Under-Braced Jib Cranes are built with a super-smooth and dependable integrated push trolley that can accommodate a hoist, vacuum lifter, or tool balancer - simply hook or shackle into place and you're ready to go.
Portable under braced jib cranes
A portable jib crane, also known as a mobile jib crane, mobile cantilever crane, or movable jib crane, is a lifting device that travels in any direction to the desired place using an electric chain hoist (or an electric wire rope hoist) as the lifting mechanism. When big things need to be transported, an electric hoist that operates on a cantilever is appropriate.
- Jib Capacity: 0.25t / 0.5t / 1t / 2t.
- Lifting Height: 1~3m
- Rotation radius: 1~3m
- Angle of rotation: 180° / 270° / 360°.
The mobile jib crane can be moved in any direction to the desired location, and the electric hoist can travel on the cantilever, which is useful for carrying or rotating heavy objects. The electric hoist lifts the heavy object in order to perform the up and down landing. einsteineruploading up to get together with.

Checklist to select a proper jib crane
- Identify the lifting capability, arm length, and total height of your jib crane.
- Selecting your Chain Hoist Option - No, Yes - electric, or Yes - manual.
- There is no need to add this as an additional since an integrated push trolley is installed as standard.
