Jib Cranes

A jib has a mast, cantilevered boom and can typically rotate 360°.  The role of the jib is to support a movable hoist fixed to either a wall or pillar mounted on the floor.

  • 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
    Spanco Articulating Jib Cranes support nearly any type of manipulator, balancer, or hoist. 400-Series Jib Cranes can mount directly to your facility ceiling or to a specially designed bridge system for flexible coverage over a large area.
  • 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.

    • 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
  • Spanco Freestanding Jib Cranes install almost anywhere, including outside. These foundation-mounted, freestanding jibs offer higher capacities, longer spans, and greater rotation than our wall-mounted jib cranes:

    Features of Spanco 100 Series Freestanding Jib Cranes—Base-Plate Mounted

    • Easiest to install
    • Base plate is secured by 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
  • Spanco Wall-Mounted Jib Cranes require no floor space or foundations. They quickly swing out of the way of overhead cranes.

    Features of Spanco 300 Series Wall-Mounted Jib Cranes—Cantilever

    • Our Wall-Mounted Cantilever 300 Series cranes offer the greatest amount of clearance, both under and above the boom
    • Full-cantilever design
    • All swivel connections have bronze bushings and grease fittings to ease rotation, promoting long life and low maintenance
  • 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 Workstation Jib Cranes offer easy, ergonomic lifting and transfer of repetitive loads. These small, nimble cranes are faster than motorized jibs and are very affordable. 500-Series Portable Base Jib Cranes have all the features of the 500-Series Freestanding Jib Cranes, except with portable counterweight bases. With their forklift pockets, they’re ideal for facilities needing flexible workflows and/or modular workstations. Spanco Workstation Jib Cranes feature our smooth-running enclosed track and trolleys. The self-cleaning enclosed track protects the trolley from dust, debris, and other environmental factors and ensures accurate trolley wheel alignment to minimize friction and wear.

    • 360-degree rotation
    • Standard crane heights to 12 feet (floor to bottom of boom); taller designs available
    • Smaller capacity cranes use square mounting plates with welded gussets connected to the mast; each plate uses four anchor bolts
    • Larger capacity cranes use hexagonal mounting plates with welded gussets connected to the mast; each plate uses 6 anchor bolts
    • Up to 500-pound capacity with 16-foot span
    • Up to 1,000-pound capacity with 10-foot span
    • Custom bases are available
  • Spanco Wall-Mounted Jib Cranes require no floor space or foundations. They quickly swing out of the way of overhead cranes.

    Features of Spanco 301 Series Wall-Mounted Jib Cranes—Tie-Rod Supported

    • Wall bracket with tie-rod supported boom
    • Design uses a standard I-beam and single tie rod to eliminate off-center loading problems
    • Top and bottom wall brackets utilize a formed steel channel, with two bronze bushings, bronze thrust washers, and formed tie-rod clevises
    • All bolted connections are in double shear
    • All swivel connections have bronze bushings and grease fittings to ease rotation, promoting long life and low maintenance
  • Spanco Workstation Jib Cranes offer easy, ergonomic lifting and transfer of repetitive loads. These small, nimble cranes are faster than motorized jibs and are very affordable. Our workstation jibs can be permanently foundation-mounted, portable with counterweight bases, wall-mounted, or foundationless to best suit your needs:
