Product Description
Industrial jib cranes are lifting devices commonly used in manufacturing, construction, and other industrial settings to move heavy loads horizontally and vertically within a limited workspace. These cranes are designed with a horizontal boom (jib) that supports a movable hoist and trolley assembly. The jib is attached to a vertical mast or a fixed structure, allowing the crane to rotate, providing flexibility in positioning loads.
Applications of Industrial Jib Cranes:
1. Material Handling:
a. Workstations: Jib cranes are often installed at individual workstations to assist workers in lifting and positioning materials during assembly or fabrication processes.
b. Tool Handling: They are used to move heavy tools and equipment within a workshop or production area.
2. Machine Loading and Unloading:
Jib cranes facilitate the loading and unloading of heavy machinery, components, or raw materials onto and off production lines or workstations.
3. Assembly Lines:
Integrated into assembly lines, jib cranes help in the efficient handling and placement of components, improving overall productivity.
4. Warehousing:
Jib cranes are employed in warehouses for lifting and moving heavy items, such as pallets, crates, and machinery parts.
5. Vehicle Maintenance:
