1 Ton Jib Cranes for Sale

Yuantai Crane's 1 Ton Jib Cranes serve light-duty lifting needs in workshops, warehouses, repair bays, and shipyards. Designed for loads up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lb), these cranes combine compact form with reliable performance. A jib crane's horizontal boom rotates around a central support, allowing you to lift and position parts within a defined working zone. Our lineup includes articulating, floor-mounted, mobile, wall-mounted, and wall-travelling jib cranes—each tailored for specific space and workflow requirements.

Core Components

A jib crane's performance depends on the quality and design of its core parts. Below is a detailed look at each key component found on a 1-ton jib crane:

1. Boom and Pivot Assembly

The boom is typically a welded steel I-beam or box-section. It connects to a pivot bearing at the mast or wall bracket. Some models offer an articulating elbow with additional bearings. These pivot and slewing-ring bearings handle dynamic loads and provide low-friction swing. They are rated to withstand thousands of cycles without excessive wear.

2. Mast or Wall Bracket

For floor-mounted jib cranes, the mast is a heavy steel column welded to a base plate. The base plate bolts to a concrete pad to resist bending and torsion. Wall-mounted cranes use a gusseted bracket secured to a structural beam. Both support systems carry loads from the boom, hoist, and any side forces during operation.

3. Hoist and Trolley

Operators can choose an electric chain hoist—ideal for low lift heights and compact setups—or a wire rope hoist for taller lifts. The hoist hangs from a trolley that runs on the boom's track. Sealed roller bearings inside the trolley wheels ensure smooth travel. Depending on the model, the trolley may be manual or motorized for easier positioning.

4. Drive and Control Systems

Control options include a pendant station with festooned cables or a wireless remote with a rechargeable battery pack. The control cabinet houses contactors, overload relays, and the main emergency-stop switch. When pressed, the E-stop cuts power to all motions immediately.

5. Safety Devices

Built-in limit switches halt the hoist at its upper and lower travel ends. An overload limiter senses excessive loads and stops lifting to prevent strain. Emergency-stop buttons appear on the pendant, remote, and control panel. Warning lights and horns signal motion or fault conditions. An anti-two-block switch stops the hook block from contacting the boom or hoist assembly.

Yuantai 1 Ton Jib Crane

a. 1 Ton Floor-Mounted Jib Crane for Workshop and Warehouse

Our floor-mounted jib cranes bolt directly into a reinforced concrete pad, creating a permanent lift station in any bay. The steel mast and boom assembly rotate on a heavy-duty pivot bearing, covering a full circle under the boom or up to 360° when configured with end-stops. Boom lengths range from 2 to 10 meters, and the base flange hides flush with the floor, leaving little obstruction. These cranes shine where you need a central, fixed lift point—for example, at a central inspection station or along an assembly line where parts land repeatedly in the same area. With cable-festoon or busbar power, you can install an electric hoist and trolley, and the unit is ready for daily operation within hours.

Key Features

• Lifting Height: 1-10 m
• Span: 1-10 m
• Voltage: 220-440V 50/60Hz 3Phase
• Working Temperature: -20-+40 ℃
• Work DutyA3

b. 1 Ton Mobile (Portable) Jib Crane

When you need a lift point on the go, the portable jib crane answers the call. Mounted on swivel-caster or powered wheels, it travels to wherever you need it—be it a remote machine tool or an outdoor containment area. The mast folds down for storage, and an onboard battery or ground-power connection runs the hoist. Boom lengths typically sit between 1m and 3m, giving flexible reach in tight spots. Once in position, locking casters or outriggers secure the crane so you can lift with confidence. Portable jib cranes help maintenance crews, field technicians, and small shops avoid the expense of multiple fixed cranes.

Key Features

• Lifting Height: 1-3 m
• Span: 1-3 m
• Voltage: 220-440V 50/60Hz 3Phase
• Working Temperature: -20-+40 ℃
• Work DutyA3

c. 1 Ton Wall-Mounted Jib Crane

When floor space is at a premium, a wall-mounted jib crane moves the support to a building column or wall beam. A heavy steel bracket bolts to the structure and anchors a boom that swings out over the workspace in a 180° to 270° arc. Boom lengths usually range from two to five meters, giving ample coverage for light assembly, parts retrieval, or staging. Because the bracket and mast transfer loads to the wall, the floor needs no foundation work—an advantage in retrofit scenarios. Like our floor-mounted cranes, these units pair with an electric trolley hoist and feature high-capacity pivot bearings for smooth swing action.

Key Features

• Lifting Height: 1-10 m
• Span: 1-10 m
• Voltage: 220-440V 50/60Hz 3Phase
• Working Temperature: -20-+40 ℃
• Lifting Mechanism: Electric Hoist

d. 1 Ton Wall-Travelling Jib Crane

The wall-travelling jib crane expands on the wall-mounted design by adding a horizontal runway. The boom assembly rides on a powered carriage, letting you move the crane along the wall run in either direction. This combination of boom rotation and runway travel covers an extended work area without the need for an overhead bridge crane. Typical applications include long machine tool lines, paint booths, or maintenance corridors. You can customize runway length to your bay dimensions—runways up to 30 m are common. The carriage uses dual motor drives for steady travel, and safety gates at each end prevent over-travel.

Key Features

• Lifting Height: 1-10 m
• Span: 1-10 m
• Voltage: 220-440V 50/60Hz 3Phase
• Working Temperature: -20-+40 ℃
• Work DutyA3

e. 1 Ton Articulating Jib Crane

The articulating jib crane features a multi-section boom that folds neatly against its mast when not in use. Two or three pivoting sections let you extend the boom to reach overhead machinery or retract it to clear the aisle. When fully extended, the boom typically spans one to four meters, offering a semi-circular coverage of 180° or a full 360° at the mast. Spring-assisted joints make it easy to swing each section, and locking pins secure the rig in place once you find the right position. This model uses an electric chain or wire rope hoist on a trolley, giving you smooth lifting for machine-tending or loading applications. Because the articulating boom tucks away against the mast, it's ideal in cramped cells where a fixed jib would block other equipment.

Features and Benefits

Yuantai's 1 Ton Jib Cranes deliver safe, efficient lifting in confined areas. Their compact design lets you install them in niches and overhead obstructions where larger cranes will not fit. You'll save on installation costs because floor-mounted and wall-mounted models bolt in place with minimal civil work. Operators appreciate the smooth swing and hoist control, which reduce fatigue and speed up repetitive tasks. Mobile jib cranes add the flexibility of a moving lift point, and wall-travelling cranes cover long spans without an overhead runway. Every crane is built for low maintenance: hoist chains, pivot bearings, and gearboxes have easy-access lube points. Designed for shops, light assembly lines, maintenance bays, and small-scale load-in/out operations, our 1 ton jib cranes help you move parts safely and quickly—day after day.

Precautions for Safe Use

Always assign trained, authorized personnel to operate the jib crane. Before each shift, inspect the chain or rope for wear, test the limit switches, and verify that the hoist brake holds the rated load. Clear the swing radius of all personnel and objects before moving a load. Never exceed the 1 ton capacity or side-pull the load; always center it directly under the hoist. In articulating models, lock the elbow when in use to prevent inadvertent folding. For outdoor or dusty environments, keep the pivot bearing and boom track clean and lubricated. If your model uses a battery or generator, monitor charge and fuel levels to avoid unexpected shutdowns.

Choosing the Suitable 1 Ton Jib Crane

If you are buying your first jib crane, the best place to start is by understanding your daily lifting work. Think about what materials you need to lift, how often you lift them, and how far the load needs to move. You should also look at the working area. Measure the available floor space, ceiling height, and the distance the load needs to travel. These basic details help determine which jib crane type will work best for your environment.

1. Considering Flexibility and Mobility

Another important factor is how flexible the lifting solution needs to be. Some workshops perform lifting tasks in different locations rather than in one fixed spot. In these situations, a mobile jib crane can be a good option. It can be moved around the workshop and positioned wherever lifting is required. This type of crane is commonly used in maintenance areas, repair shops, and temporary workstations. If the lifting point changes frequently or the work area is shared by several departments, mobility can significantly improve efficiency and reduce the need for multiple fixed cranes.

2. Lifting Task and Load Handling Style

Different lifting tasks require different types of movement and precision. For example, when working around machines, assembly tables, or obstacles, a traditional rigid jib arm may not always reach the desired position easily. In these cases, an articulating jib crane is often a better solution. Its jointed arm allows it to move around corners, machinery, or tight spaces. This makes it very useful in assembly lines, maintenance work, and precision positioning tasks.

3. Installation Conditions and Building Structure

The building structure also plays an important role when selecting a jib crane. A pillar or floor-mounted jib crane requires a strong concrete foundation because the base must support both the load and the rotation force. If the floor cannot support this load, a wall mounted or wall traveling jib crane may be a better option because the building column carries the weight instead. Before making a final decision, it is important to check the strength of the floor or wall structure to ensure safe installation and long-term stability.

4. Getting the Right Engineering Support

Finally, the best way to choose the right 1 ton jib crane is to work with experienced engineers who understand different industrial environments. At Yuantai, we help customers evaluate their workspace, lifting tasks, and installation conditions before recommending the most suitable jib crane type. By combining the right crane design with the correct hoist, rotation range, and mounting method, we ensure the equipment fits the job perfectly and delivers reliable performance for years.

Maintenance Practices

Maintain your jib crane to ensure safe, reliable operation. Perform a daily walkaround to check for loose bolts, chain wear, and smooth pivot action. Once a week, lubricate pivot bearings, trolley wheels, and hoist gears using the grease points provided. Monthly, tighten mast anchor bolts and inspect welds for cracks. Test limit switches and the overload limiter under no-load and test-load conditions. For articulating cranes, verify spring tension and joint locking pins. Annually, schedule a certified inspection that includes a load test at 125 % of the rated capacity.
