Jib Cranes

Hoists Direct offers many different brands, capacities, types, sizes and options of jib cranes used in overhead lifting. Industrial jibs can be portable, wall-mounted, floor mounted or articulating and are ideal for overhead lifting in a workstation environment.  Wall mounted jibs come in two options: full cantilever, which is ideal for maximizing headroom; and wall bracketed, which is mounted to the wall but has a steel tie rod supporting the end of the jib. Floor mounted jibs (also known as base mounted jibs) offer full 360 degree movement, and if a 360 degree movement is not required, accessories such as rotation stops can be added to narrow the degree of rotation. Articulating jib cranes offer a rotating jib system for positioning loads in repetitive manufacturing environments. Stainless steel jib cranes are corrosion resistant and ideal for bulk ingredient pouring or food grade applications. The jibs we carry range in capacity from 300 lbs to 5 tons with multiple spans available including common sizes of 10 feet, 12 feet and 16 feet.  We also offer packaged jib crane kits with the hoist, trolley and festooning.  All jib crane systems can be customized with top or bottom entry collectors, motorized booms and tagline assemblies.  If you need more than a 5 ton jib or if you need a crane template or drawing, give us a call at 866-464-7871. We have crane specialists available to assist you.
