Freestanding jib cranes for Workstations
A free standing jib crane is a type of crane that is supported by a floor-mounted column and does not require support from the building's structure. This makes it an ideal solution for workstations where space may be limited or the need for flexibility in positioning the crane. The jib crane can lift and move heavy machinery and equipment within the workstation, facilitating maintenance and repair tasks.
Background
Our client in Saudi Arabia operates a manufacturing facility with multiple workstations where machinery maintenance is a critical aspect of their operations. The current process might involve manual lifting or cumbersome mobile equipment, posing safety risks and hindering productivity. With a focus on improving efficiency and safety, the client sought a reliable lifting solution that could streamline their maintenance processes and enhance productivity.
Requirements
The client has specific requirements for their
workstation jib crane:
- Lifting Capacity: 2 tons to handle various machinery components effectively.
- Reach: Adequate reach to cover the designated work area for complete access during maintenance.
- Ease of Use: The 2 ton jib crane should be easy for technicians to operate, minimizing training time.
- Safety Features: Safety is paramount, so the freestanding jib crane must incorporate overload protection and emergency stop functionality.
- Durability: The jib crane should have robust materials to withstand demanding industrial environments.
DQCRANES, a leading provider of lifting solutions, proposed a tailored design solution to meet the client's requirements. The 2 ton free standing jib crane with a
wire rope hoist was identified as the optimal choice for the client's workstation. This jib crane design offered the necessary lifting capacity while allowing for the precise positioning of heavy machinery components during maintenance procedures.

- Versatility: The 360-degree rotation of the jib arm and the flexible positioning of the freestanding crane make it versatile for a wide range of maintenance tasks. It can easily reach machinery and equipment located in different areas of the workstation.
- Safety Features: The crane is equipped with safety features such as limit switches, emergency stop buttons, and overload protection to ensure safe operation and prevent accidents in the workplace.
- Space-Saving Design: The freestanding design of the crane allows for efficient use of space within the workstation, making it an ideal solution for workstations with limited floor space.
- Durability: The crane is constructed with high-quality materials and finishes to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
Benefits
- Improved Efficiency: The 2 ton freestanding jib crane with wire rope hoist can significantly improve the efficiency of machinery maintenance operations by providing a reliable means of lifting and moving heavy loads within the workstation.
- Reduced Risk of Injury: By providing a safe and controlled method for lifting heavy machinery and equipment, the crane helps reduce the risk of injury to maintenance personnel, resulting in a safer work environment.
- Cost-Effective Solution: The versatility and durability of the crane make it a cost-effective solution for machinery maintenance, offering long-term value and reliability.
- Enhanced Productivity: With its ability to easily reach and maneuver heavy loads, the crane can help increase overall productivity in maintenance operations by streamlining lifting and moving tasks.
At DQCRANES, in addition to freestanding jib cranes, we offer a wide range of jib cranes for sale to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
Wall-mounted jib cranes are designed to be installed on existing walls or columns, making them a space-saving solution for workstations with limited floor space. These cranes provide 180-degree rotation and are available in different configurations to suit specific lifting needs. Wall-mounted jib cranes are commonly used in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and assembly lines where efficient material handling is essential.
Articulating jib cranes, also known as knuckle jib cranes, offer a high degree of flexibility and precision in material handling. These cranes feature a knuckle boom design that allows for both horizontal and vertical reach, making them suitable for workstations with complex layouts or obstacles. Articulating jib cranes are often used in machining centers, welding stations, and other industrial environments that require precise load positioning.
Mast-type jib cranes are designed for heavy-duty lifting applications in workstations where high-capacity loads need to be handled. These cranes feature a vertical mast that provides support and stability for lifting heavy materials. Mast-type jib cranes can be customized with various boom lengths and capacities to accommodate specific workload requirements. They are commonly found in foundries, shipyards, and other heavy industrial settings.
Portable jib cranes are an excellent solution for workstations that require temporary or occasional lifting tasks. These cranes are designed to be easily transported and set up in different locations as needed. Portable jib cranes offer quick and convenient lifting capabilities without the need for permanent installation. They are often used in construction sites, maintenance facilities, and outdoor work areas where mobility is essential.
