Construction Cranes
-
Overhead bridge cranes are permanently installed cranes within a facility that are used to lift and move material from one location to another in a safe and efficient manner. The bridge crane provides lift coverage within its full dimensional envelope which typically prevents the need for multiple lifting devices or multiple transfers. Overhead bridge cranes are typically designed and manufactured per application so that they can meet the exact needs of the user and fit within the facility’s dimensional parameters.

Crane Rotation: 360° Capacities: up to 5 tons on standard models; up to 10 tons custom Spans: up to 20’ standard; up to 40’ custom Heights: up to 20’ standard; up to 40’ custom (distance from floor to overhead support) Spanco Mast-Style Jib Cranes provide 360-degree crane rotation and can be rotated manually or by power. They bolt to floor and building’s steel beams, eliminating costly special foundations. The full cantilever 200-Series features a cantilevered boom mounted at the top of the mast to provide maximum clearance.

Spanco Mast-Style Jib Cranes provide full 360-degree rotation while eliminating the cost of a special foundation, which can cost more than the crane. As a lower cost alternative to freestanding jib cranes, these full-feature mast-style cranes:
- Are bolted to the floor and existing overhead support structure (e.g., steel beams)
- Require no special foundation, but only a standard 6-inch reinforced concrete floor
- Are available with power rotation on all models
Mast-Style Jib Crane Features
- Uses wide-flange beam or I-beam for the boom and a wide-flange beam for the column
- The top assembly has self-aligning spherical bearings
- The bottom assembly has bronze bearings and bronze thrust washers
- Both bearing assemblies are provided with grease fittings for lubrication to aid rotation
-
400 Series Bridge-Mounted and Ceiling-Mounted Articulating Jib Cranes
- Offer more headroom and more clearance—both below and above the boom
- Outstanding headroom permits installation in tight locations, such as low ceilings or crowded shops
-
401 Series Wall-Mounted Articulating Jib Cranes
- Offers 360-degree rotation for outer arm and 180-degree rotation for inner arm
- Perfect for individual workstations where each worker needs complete access to one jib crane
- Outstanding headroom permits installation in tight locations and crowded shops
- Provides a clear work area with no floor obstructions and requires minimal overhead clearance for installation
-
402 Series Freestanding Articulating Jib Cranes
- Easy installation at nearly any location
- Offers 360-degree rotation for inner and outer arms
- Anchor bolts are used to secure the baseplate to a reinforced concrete foundation for ultimate stability under load
- The pipe mast’s connection to the hexagonal baseplate is reinforced with six equally spaced gussets
-
402 Series Portable Base Articulating Jib Cranes
- Easy installation at nearly any location
- Offers 360-degree rotation for inner and outer arms
- Anchor bolts are used to secure the baseplate to a counterweight base for portability and stability under load
- The pipe mast’s connection to the hexagonal baseplate is reinforced with six equally spaced gussets

Spanco Foundationless Jib Cranes are industrial slab-mounted systems that are bolted to reinforced concrete. These systems do not require a special foundation, which can sometimes cost more than the system. By not requiring a special foundation, you don’t have to wait for concrete to cure, meaning you can have your system installed sooner. Spanco Foundationless Jibs can be installed almost anywhere within your facility and be easily relocated if needed.
Capacities (Pounds) HUB (Feet) Span (Feet) 500 8-20 8-13* 1,000 10-20 8-9* - 360-degree rotation
- Base plate is secured by chemical anchor bolts to a prescribed reinforced concrete foundation
- The pipe mast’s connection to the hexagonal base plate is reinforced with six equally-spaced gussets
