Jib Crane UAE - 1 Ton Jib Crane for Sale in UAE Assembly Lines

Project Overview

DQCRANES designed and installed a 1-ton pillar jib crane for a manufacturing workshop specializing in packaging machinery assembly. The electric jib crane enhanced workflow efficiency by enabling safe, precise handling of components across a 4.5-meter reach, with 360-degree rotation and optimized lifting speeds.

Customer Background

The client operates a high-volume workshop producing custom packaging machinery. Their assembly line required a solution to lift and position heavy components (up to 1 ton) such as motors, conveyor belts, and structural frames. Manual handling caused bottlenecks, safety risks, and worker fatigue, necessitating a robust workshop lifting system.

Challenges and Requirements

• Limited Workspace: The assembly line had space constraints, requiring a lifting solution that wouldn't obstruct workflow.
• Precise Positioning: The assembly of packaging machinery demanded precise positioning of components to ensure accuracy and quality.
• Increased Productivity: The customer aimed to reduce assembly time and increase productivity.
• Worker Safety: They wanted to minimize the risk of worker injuries associated with manual lifting.
• Capacity: 1-ton lifting capacity for medium/heavy parts.
• Coverage: 4.5m arm length to span multiple workstations.
• Maneuverability: 360° rotation to access the entire assembly area.

1 Ton Jib Crane Design - DQCRANES Solution

DQCRANES proposed and supplied a pillar-mounted 1 ton workshop jib crane tailored to the customer's specific needs. The key specifications of the slewing jib crane were:

1. Lifting Capacity: 1 ton
2. Arm Length: 4.5 meters (hot-rolled steel beam for durability).
3. Lifting Height: 3 meters (sufficient for workstation vertical clearance).
4. Rotation: 360° smooth rotation via slewing bearing (tangential speed: 0.8 m/min at arm end).

Hoist Specifications:

• Lifting Speed: 6.6 m/min (electric chain hoist for controlled vertical movement).
• Traveling Speed: 11 m/min (along the arm for rapid horizontal positioning).
• Safety Features: Overload protection, emergency stop, limit switches, and corrosion-resistant coating.

Design Features

• Pillar Mounting: The pillar-mounted crane design provided a freestanding solution that could be installed without requiring support from the building structure, optimizing space utilization.
• 360-Degree Rotation: The 360-degree rotation capability allowed for maximum flexibility in handling materials across the assembly line.
• Electric Chain Hoist: An electric chain hoist was included for efficient and precise lifting and lowering of components. The specified lifting and traveling speeds ensured smooth and controlled movement.
• Customization: DQCRANES customized the jib crane's arm length and lifting height to match the specific requirements of the assembly line.
• Safety Features: The jib crane for sale UAE was equipped with safety features such as overload protection, limit switches, and emergency stop buttons to ensure safe operation.

Installation & Implementation

• Site Assessment: DQCRANES engineers evaluated floor strength, workflow patterns, and obstacle clearance to optimize pillar placement.
• Pillar Foundation: A reinforced concrete base ensured stability without disrupting existing layouts.
• Detailed Drawings: Detailed technical drawings and specifications were provided to the customer for approval.
• Integration: The workshop crane was positioned to serve 4 assembly stations, with rotation paths cleared for unobstructed movement.
• Professional Installation: DQCRANES' experienced technicians handled the installation of the pillar jib crane, ensuring proper alignment and functionality.
• Training: Operators received instruction on load dynamics, speed controls, and safety protocols.

Results & Benefits

• Productivity Boost: Component transfer time reduced by 40%, accelerating assembly line throughput.
• Safety Compliance: Zero handling-related incidents reported post-installation.
• Ergonomic Improvement: Eliminated manual lifting, reducing worker fatigue.
• Versatility: The jib crane’s 360° rotation and 4.5m reach enabled multi-station service without repositioning.
• ROI: Payback achieved in 8 months via reduced labor costs and downtime.
