Advantages of Jib cranes :
The advantage is the strength, stability and flexibility of the device. It is ideal for lifting a product to or from one material handling system to a work station or machine. It should be a
repetitive process.
Another advantage is that jib crane is commonly used for workstation and simple loading / unloading operations where it is not necessary to spot a load precisely. Also, Jib cranes most often handle
lighter loads at lower duty cycles than their bridge and gantry crane counterparts.
Jib crane is a crane having an arm guyed at a fixed angle to the head of a rotating mast and it consists of a pivoting head and boom assembly which carries a hoist and trolley unit. The pivoting
head is supported either by a floor-mounted mast providing 360 degree boom rotation or by an existing building column which provides 180 degrees of boom rotation.
