Pillar jib crane is supported by a column, and the cantilever can rotate around the column, so as to realize the lifting of heavy objects within a certain range. Its structural design makes it have unique advantages in space utilization, and it can flexibly lift objects in a limited space. For example, in some small factory workshops, the space is limited, and the pillar jib crane can give full play to its flexible lifting characteristics and accurately lift goods from one position to another.

 

Advantages

 

Efficient space utilization: The column mounted jib crane uses the column as the support point, and the arm rotates around the column, occupying less ground space. Compared with the overhead crane, it does not need to occupy a large area of factory space, especially suitable for places with limited space.

Easy operation: The control method of the crane is simple and easy to understand. Whether it is ground operation buttons or remote control operation, operators can quickly master the operating skills after simple training. Through these control methods, operators can easily realize the lifting, lowering, rotation and operation of materials.

High lifting flexibility: The arm can rotate within 360 degrees and can be adjusted in pitch according to actual needs. This enables the crane to approach materials from multiple angles, achieve precise lifting, and meet the handling needs of materials at different locations.

Obvious cost advantage: From the perspective of manufacturing and installation costs, the structure of the pillar jib crane is relatively simple, and the manufacturing and installation costs are lower than some large and complex crane equipment. Its installation process is relatively quick, does not require complex infrastructure and large-scale installation equipment, can be installed and put into use in a relatively short time, and reduces the production delays caused by equipment installation in enterprises.

Strong stability and reliability: It adopts high-strength materials and reasonable structural design, and has good stability and reliability. In the long-term working process, it can maintain stable performance, reduce the impact of equipment failure on production, provide strong guarantee for the production operation of the enterprise, and effectively improve production efficiency.

Safety Device

 

Overload protection: The pillar jib crane is equipped with a high-precision weight sensor. Once it detects that the hoisted weight exceeds the rated load of the equipment, the control system will immediately sound an alarm and stop the action of the lifting mechanism to prevent equipment damage or safety accidents caused by overloading.

Limit protection: Limit switches are set at key positions such as the rotation angle and lifting height of the cantilever. When the floor mounted jib crane runs to the limit position, the limit switch will automatically trigger to stop the equipment from running, avoiding equipment damage or collision accidents caused by excessive operation.

Emergency brake: In order to deal with emergencies, the floor mounted jib crane is equipped with an emergency brake device. Whether there is an abnormal situation during operation or the operator finds potential danger, the emergency brake button can be pressed to stop the equipment immediately to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

 

How to Choose Right Jib Crane

 

Weight range: According to the actual weight of the heavy objects to be lifted, select a column mounted jib crane with a suitable rated load. If heavier objects are often lifted, equipment with a larger rated load should be selected to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment.

Working radius: Considering the spatial layout of the workplace and the requirements of the lifting range, select a column mounted jib crane with a cantilever length and rotation angle that can meet the needs. For example, in some narrow and long workshops, it may be necessary to select equipment with a longer cantilever and a larger rotation angle.

Quality certification: Check whether the equipment has relevant quality certifications, such as ISO quality system certification. These certifications are a recognition of product quality and can increase product credibility.

After-sales service: Understand the supplier’s maintenance response time to ensure timely maintenance services when equipment fails to reduce downtime.

Accessories supply: Ensure that the supplier of the jib crane can provide sufficient equipment accessories to ensure normal maintenance and repair of the equipment.
