Articulating Jib Crane

Unlike other jib cranes, articulating jib cranes have a hinge or joint at the center of the horizontal section that lifts the load. This feature enables the user to bend or fold the arm if required. Since it can be folded, articulating jib cranes are easy to maneuver in small areas with space restrictions. Mostly used in warehouses, large departmental stores and in the food industry, to name a few, articulating jib cranes are excellent equipments for lifting heavy loads in confined and small spaces. However, the articulating jib crane has its share of faults – the most prominent one being the fact that it is incapable of lifting loads as heavy as the ones that are lifted by the wall mounted or the floor mounted jib cranes. This versatile crane can move loads around corners, reach into machines or doorways, and swing under obstructions. This crane is perfect in applications that require an operator to rotate the jib in close to the pivot point. Capacities from 50kg to 1000kg with spans up to 5 metres.
