Jib Cranes Jib cranes consist of a rotating arm with a hoist that runs along its length. The arm usually revolves on an axis which can be a fixed, ground-mounted post, or can be a wall or ceiling-mounted pin. Wall bracket mounted jib cranes are usually the least expensive jib cranes, but they require the most headroom and exert more force on their mounting wall. Cantilever jib cranes place the arm at the top, allowing for maximum lift when used in situations with limited headroom. They also exert less force on the wall on which they’re mounted. Jib lifts are sold that slip onto the forks of a forklift, turning it into a mobile crane. More inexpensive jib cranes feature manually operated chain hoists, while more sophisticated cranes use an electric chain hoist. Optional jib crane features are available depending on the model and manufacturer, including portability, telescoping arms, articulating arms, motorized rotation, motorized trolley movement etc.
