What Advantages Do Jib Cranes Offer in Industrial Settings?

Antony Smith II • April 19, 2024

There are a number of advantages that jib cranes can offer in industrial settings. Learn more about these advantages below.

Great Range of Movement

Jib cranes are capable of providing a 360-degree radius of movement, enabling operators to easily maneuver heavy materials and objects in their arc of motion. This arc of motion enables them to maneuver those materials around corners and within limited working areas and confined spaces. This increased maneuverability can decrease the chances of an accident while hauling heavy objects and materials.

Compact

Jib cranes are smaller than most other types of cranes; as a result, they can be installed and utilized in smaller work areas and spaces. They can be mounted on columns, walls, and floors, thus saving on both space and time during installation.

Affordable

Jib cranes are more affordable than most other crane types. Thus, they are a great choice for both small- and medium-sized businesses with more limited budgets. Yet, these cranes are still very efficient and effective, while requiring less manpower to operate.

More Operational Control

Jib cranes enable the operator to have better control over the load. Their closeness to the material enables them to have better control over it in tight spaces, while the adjustability of the lifting speed can help to limit accidents and damage.


Stable

Due to the fact that jib cranes can be secured and anchored to a column or wall, this provides increased stability as compared to other crane types. Thus, there is more stability and safety during lifting operations.
