Jib Cranes
Jib cranes represent an interesting member of the crane species of heavy equipment. The jib crane has a horizontal boom (otherwise known as a jib) on it that supports sizeable loads. This jib can be fastened to a column that rotates vertically, and can be attached to a wall or even extend from the floor up to the ceiling. When the column is fixed only at the bottom, the jib crane becomes a “pillar” crane.
A jib crane that is mounted in an upright position can lift heavier loads than jib cranes that are mounted on walls. Cantilevered jib cranes can rotate fully or partially, depending on their construction.
The Manitowoc crane company offers all kinds of luffing and fixed jibs for all of its crane products, which makes for a great variety of jib cranes. Manitowoc's luffing jibs can be as long as the crane itself without giving up performance.
Since 1979, SPANCO has been selling thousands of crane models, including several basic styles of jib cranes and over 7,000 jib crane models. You can also have SPANCO provide a customized jib crane just for you.
