Jib Cranes
Strength, reach, and control
Jib Crane Systems
Designed to enhance material handling efficiency, workplace safety, and productivity in industrial environments. Jib cranes provide a flexible lifting solution where overhead cranes are impractical or unnecessary, while still enabling precise horizontal reach and vertical lifting in workshops, production halls, warehouses, and outdoor facilities.
Custom-Configured to Your Needs
Each jib crane is designed and manufactured according to specific customer requirements, allowing flexibility in capacity, span, orientation, and installation. Uniman can tailor the crane to fit your building layout and operational needs.
Indoor and Outdoor Use
These cranes can be installed in both internal workspaces and open-air production or storage areas, offering flexibility depending on your operational environment.
Comprehensive Delivery Package
Every jib crane order includes transport, professional installation, and full documentation, giving you a turnkey solution ready for immediate use.
What Is a Jib Crane?
A jib crane consists of a supporting column or wall bracket with a horizontal arm (the jib) that pivots to serve a defined circular area. A lifting mechanism — either manual or powered — is mounted on the jib to lift, move, and position loads efficiently within the work zone. Compared with fixed lifting devices, jib cranes deliver targeted material handling close to workstations or machinery.
Robust Load Capacity
Uniman’s jib cranes are engineered for reliable lifting of loads up to 2 000 kg (2 t), making them suitable for a wide range of industrial handling tasks.
Versatile Hoist Options
Manual Hoist: Simple, reliable, cost-effective solution for lighter or infrequent lifting tasks.
Electric Hoist: Ideal for heavier loads or repetitive lifting, improving efficiency and reducing operator effort.
Typical Jib Crane Configurations
Uniman’s jib cranes are generally offered in two primary types:
Column-Mounted Jib Cranes
- Mounted on a vertical support column fixed to the floor.
- Provides a wide range of movement around the base.
- Ideal for central workshop areas.
Wall-Mounted (Bracket) Jib Cranes
- Installed on structural walls or building columns.
- Saves floor space while still delivering effective material reach.
- Suitable for production lines or stations near walls.
(Note: Specific part series like SJER and SJR-K are examples of models produced by Uniman, but exact frame profiles and configurations are defined during project design)
Benefits for Your Operations
1. Enhanced Productivity
Jib cranes accelerate lifting and positioning tasks by eliminating unnecessary movements or rigging adjustments. Workers can efficiently move parts or materials within reach without relocating heavy equipment.
2. Improved Safety
Ergonomic handling reduces strain on personnel, and engineered load paths improve safety for both operators and nearby equipment.
3. Space-Optimized Ergonomics
The pivoting jib arm allows material to be lifted and swung within a defined radius, minimizing the workspace disruption compared with larger crane systems.
4. Tailored to Industrial Needs
Whether you need a simple manual solution or an electrically driven system for frequent operations, Uniman delivers tailored engineering backed by manufacturing expertise.
When to Use a Jib Crane
Uniman jib cranes are ideal for:
- Machine shop lifting and positioning
- Assembly line feeding
- Warehouse loading and unloading
- Workstations requiring repetitive vertical lifts
- Areas where overhead cranes are not feasible due to space or budget constraint
