The 2-ton fixed-column jib crane is a versatile lifting tool for light- to medium-duty tasks in workshops, warehouses, and docks. It handles loads up to 2 000 kg with a horizontal reach of up to 10 m and a lift height of up to 10 m. You can swing its arm through 180°, 270° or a full circle to place goods with precision. Jib cranes have various types of jib cranes such as articulated, floor-mounted, wall-mounted, and wall traveling jib cranes.

Overview of 2 Ton Jib Crane

A jib crane has a horizontal boom (jib) that pivots on a mast or wall bracket. The hoist moves along the boom to cover a defined area. For a 2 ton jib crane, you gain a sturdy lift station that handles heavier loads than 1 ton models. Jib cranes excel at repetitive lifts in a fixed zone. They reduce block-and-tackle setups and free up forklifts for other tasks.

Model Variations

Core Components

A jib crane relies on several key parts working together to deliver precise and reliable lifting. Below is a breakdown of each major component and its role in the crane's performance.

1. Boom and Pivot Bearing

The boom is built from a welded I-beam or box-section steel profile to resist bending under load. Articulating models include an elbow bearing that adds a second pivot point for greater reach. The top pivot uses taper-roller or slewing-ring bearings rated for dynamic loads. These bearings let the boom swing smoothly and handle side forces without binding or wear.

2. Mast or Wall Bracket

Floor-mounted cranes feature a plated steel mast bolted into a concrete foundation. The mast transfers bending and torsion from the boom and hoist safely to the ground. Wall-mounted cranes anchor to structural beams using gusseted brackets. Both support types are engineered to absorb the crane's lateral and vertical loads without shifting or twisting.

3. Hoist and Trolley

You can install chain hoists or low headroom hoists in areas with restricted headroom, or wire rope hoists for higher lifting heights and smoother operation. The hoist is suspended from a trolley which rolls along the boom track on sealed roller bearings. Trolleys are available with manual, gear-driven or electric drives. This flexibility allows you to customize the crane to meet your lifting height and cycle requirements.

4. Controls and Power Supply

Operators guide the crane via a pendant station, wireless remote, or cabin-mount console. Pendant cables run on festoon systems for floor-mounted cranes. Mobile jib cranes carry their own battery packs and chargers. Wall cranes draw power from the building using cable reels or busbar conductors. Each control scheme keeps power lines clear of snag hazards.

5. Safety Devices

Limit switches prevent the hoist from over-traveling at top and bottom positions. An overload limiter stops lifts above 2 t to protect the crane and load. Emergency-stop buttons appear on pendants, remotes, and control panels. Audible horns and flashing beacons warn bystanders of motion. An anti-two-block switch cuts power if the hook block nears the boom tip, avoiding cable damage or collapse.

Features and Benefits

A 2 t jib crane brings practical lifting power to small work cells and maintenance bays. Its design balances capacity, reach, and ease of use to boost safety and productivity without high infrastructure costs.

  1. With a 2t safe working load, this crane handles parts, molds, and assemblies that exceed 1 t limits. That extra capacity means fewer load-splitting steps and faster cycle times when moving heavier items between stations.
  2. The mast or wall bracket mounts directly to floor or beam with minimal space taken up. You keep aisles clear for foot traffic and forklifts while adding lifting capability where you need it.
  3. Installation bolts the crane mast or bracket into place with only minor concrete drilling or beam attachments. There’s no need for new runway rails or major structural changes, so you start lifting sooner.
  4. Boom lengths up to 10 m cover most work zones. You can select the right length to span between machines or loading docks. In multi-station areas, a longer boom cuts down on repositioning.
  5. The single-girder boom and compact trolley fit under low ceilings or existing pipework. Freestanding models maximize hook height without sacrificing clearances in tight spaces.
  6. Electric hoists on the jib crane lift and lower loads quickly. The trolley moves at variable speeds for rough travel or fine positioning. This responsiveness shortens handling times and improves workflow.
  7. Pendant or wireless remotes place controls at the operator’s fingertips. Simple up/down and swing commands reduce bending or reaching, cutting fatigue over long shifts.
