A Mobile Jib Crane is a flexible lifting device designed for material handling in workshops, warehouses, assembly lines, and maintenance areas. Unlike fixed jib cranes, this type of crane can be moved to different workstations, which makes it a practical solution for facilities that require lifting in multiple locations. At Yuantai Crane, we design and supply mobile jib cranes that support safe and efficient lifting for loads typically ranging from 0.25 ton to 5 ton. If you need a portable lifting solution, a mobile jib crane with electric chain hoist or wire rope hoist can improve workflow and reduce manual handling risks.

  • Lifting Capacity: 0.25t / 0.5t / 1t / 2t.
  • Lifting Height: 1~3m
  • Rotation radius: 1~3m
  • Angle of rotation: 180° / 270° / 360°.

Portable Jib Crane Structure and Design

A portable jib crane is built to give you both strength and flexibility. Its structure is simple but very practical. Each part works together to provide stable lifting, smooth movement, and easy positioning. Whether you use it in a workshop, warehouse, or maintenance area, the design focuses on safety, convenience, and efficiency.

1. Base Structure Portable Jib Crane

The base of a mobile jib crane is built to provide strong support while still allowing easy movement across your workspace. It usually uses a heavy-duty steel frame that resists bending and keeps the crane stable during lifting. A well-designed counterweight system helps balance the load, especially when you lift near the rated capacity.

2. Column and Boom of Mobile Jib Crane

The column and boom form the main working structure of a mobil jib crane and directly affect how smoothly you can handle loads. The vertical column supports the boom and allows it to rotate, while the boom extends outward to give you the reach you need. Most designs offer rotation ranges from 180° to full 360°, giving you flexibility in tight or open spaces. Reinforced steel construction improves durability and reduces deflection under load. A smooth slewing mechanism ensures the boom moves easily, which helps you position loads accurately and reduces operator effort during repeated lifting tasks.

3. Hoisting Mechanism

The hoisting mechanism is the core lifting component of a mobile jib crane, such as chain hoists and wire rope hoist, and its selection depends on the purpose of your crane. Electric chain hoists are a popular option for frequent lifting because they are efficient and easy to control. Wire rope hoists are better suited for heavier loads and longer lifting heights. Manual chain hoists are a cost-effective choice for lighter tasks or areas without power supply. By selecting the right hoist, you can match the crane's performance to your daily workload and improve both productivity and safety.

4. Mobility System of Portable Jib Crane

The mobility system is what makes a Portable Jib Crane stand out compared to fixed lifting equipment. High-quality polyurethane wheels help the crane move smoothly while protecting your floor from damage. Lockable casters keep the crane securely in place during lifting, which is important for safety. This flexibility of movement allows you to use the crane in multiple work areas.
