Key Features and Benefits:

Space Efficiency:
Takes up minimal floor space, making it ideal for tight or congested work areas.
Versatility:
Can be used in various settings, including manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance.
Ease of Installation:
Relatively straightforward to install compared to other types of cranes.
Flexibility:
Can rotate 180 to 360 degrees, providing a wide range of motion for handling materials.

Components:

1.) Pole/Column:
The vertical structure to which the jib arm is mounted. It can be floor-mounted or fixed to an existing support structure.

2.) Jib Arm:
The horizontal beam that supports the hoist and can rotate around the pole. It may be a single or double girder design.

3.) Hoist:
The lifting mechanism attached to the jib arm, used to raise and lower loads. It can be manual, electric, or pneumatic.

4.) Rotation Mechanism:
Allows the jib arm to rotate around the pole, providing the crane's range of motion. It can be manual or motorized.

5.) Control System:
Can include pendant controls, push-button controls, or radio remote controls for operating the hoist and rotation mechanism.

Types:

a.) Free Standing Pole Mount Jib Crane: A standalone unit with its own base plate, anchored to the floor.
b.) Wall-Mounted Jib Crane: Attached to an existing wall or column, saving floor space.
c.) Mast Type Jib Crane: Uses a mast that extends from the floor to a ceiling or other overhead structure, providing additional support.

Applications:

Safety and Maintenance:

Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to ensure the crane operates safely and efficiently.
Safety features such as overload protection, emergency stop buttons, and warning devices should be in place.
Operators should be trained in the safe use of jib cranes and aware of load limits.
