Since you have many lathes or CNC machines in your warehouse, and you only have one large overhead crane to load them all, this results in people waiting to be “next up” on the overhead crane. Why spend time until everyone has their own crane on which to depend?
for many reasons. First, if your overhead crane fails, your entire production line can be shut down, leaving you completely reliant on a crane service technician to get you back up and running.
This may be more difficult than you had hoped, as spare parts may need to be ordered, putting you out of production for even longer than expected.
If everyone has their own Jib Crane, if one break, just one machine is out of commission, allowing the rest of your crew to continue production as usual.
New jib cranes are also an excellent option since they come with a complete manufacturer’s guarantee and may be customized to your specific demands, such as requesting a dual-speed electric hoist for handling goods that need more accurate motions.
The latest jib cranes are capable of lifting weights of up to 10,000 kg (10 tons). Electric or manual slewing, as well as an electric or manual chain or wire rope hoist, provide total versatility with slewing up to 360 degrees of rotation. Jib cranes are made to the highest standards.
Considerations to make when purchasing a swing jib crane include the following: the safe working load, which is the maximum weight you will be lifting and to which the hoist and jib will be rated.
The distance between the load and the bottom of the crane arm is measured as the height of the lift. Is there any obstruction such as ceilings, trusses, or other structures above the jib?
If this is the case, you may need an under-braced Engine Jib Crane to reach your maximum lift height. Will the jib be wall-mounted or freestanding? If your safe working load is wall-mounted, you must confirm that the wall is physically capable of lifting it.
If your floor is freestanding, it must be technically capable of lifting your maximum capacity or safe working load, which may be assessed by a structural engineer’s inspection. If you want to use an electric hoist-driven slew, a three-phase power source close to the crane will be required.
