Types of Jib Crane for Warehouse Applications

Jib cranes are a versatile material handling solution commonly used in warehouse applications. They are designed to provide efficient lifting and maneuvering of heavy loads within a limited area. At DQCRANES, Jib cranes for sale come in various types, each suited for specific warehouse requirements. 
  • Free Standing Jib Crane
Free standing jib cranes are standalone units that do not require support from the building structure. They are mounted on a concrete foundation and can rotate a full 360 degrees, providing coverage to a large area within the warehouse. Free standing jib cranes are ideal for applications where overhead support is limited or when the building structure cannot accommodate a wall or column-mounted crane. 
  • Wall-Mounted Jib Crane
Wall-mounted jib cranes are fixed to the existing structure of the warehouse, typically to a vertical wall or column. They offer 180-degree rotation and are suitable for lifting and moving loads along a specific path within the warehouse. Wall-mounted jib cranes are space-saving solutions, as they do not occupy floor space, making them ideal for warehouses with limited space availability. 
  • Articulating Jib Crane
Articulating jib cranes, also known as knuckle jib cranes, feature a secondary arm that provides additional flexibility and reach. This type of jib crane is designed to maneuver around obstacles or reach into confined spaces within the warehouse. Articulating jib cranes are beneficial for handling loads in tight or hard-to-reach areas, making them a valuable asset in warehouses with complex layouts. 
  • Mast-Type Jib Crane
Mast-type jib cranes are characterized by a vertical mast that supports the horizontal boom. They offer both 360-degree rotation and lateral movement along the mast, providing extensive coverage and flexibility in load handling. Mast-type jib cranes are suitable for warehouses requiring versatile lifting capabilities and the ability to reach multiple workstations within the facility.  Portable jib cranes are designed for mobility and can be easily relocated to different areas within the warehouse as needed. They are typically mounted on a movable base with casters, allowing for quick deployment and repositioning to accommodate changing workflow requirements. Portable jib cranes are ideal for warehouses with dynamic operational needs or those requiring temporary lifting solutions. 
  • Workstation Jib Crane
Workstation jib cranes are compact units designed to serve specific workstations or production areas within the warehouse. They offer precise load positioning and ergonomic handling, making them suitable for repetitive lifting tasks or assembly line operations. Workstation jib cranes contribute to improved efficiency and safety in localized work areas, enhancing overall warehouse productivity. 

Select a Jib Crane for Your Warehouse!

When selecting a jib crane for your warehouse applications, it is essential to consider factors such as load capacity, reach, rotation range, and operational environment. With the right selection of jib crane type, warehouses can efficiently manage material handling tasks while maximizing space utilization and workflow efficiency.
