Fixed and slewing jib cranes Gujarat
Introduction — Fixed and Slewing Jib Cranes in Gujarat
Hindustan Cranes & Hoist Co., Ahmedabad, designs and manufactures fixed and slewing jib cranes for efficient spot handling across workshops, warehouses, machining bays, and assembly lines. Jib cranes enable radial lifting within a defined arc, freeing up overhead cranes and improving workflow near pillars, columns, and workstations. With robust fabrication, precise bearings, smooth slew mechanisms, and safety-first electrics, our jib cranes deliver reliable rotation, accurate positioning, and long service life in demanding Gujarat industries.
Working Principle and Operating Flow — Jib Cranes
A jib crane comprises a vertical pillar or wall-bracket, a horizontal jib arm, slewing arrangement, hoist-trolley, and controls. The hoist lifts the load while the jib provides radial reach; the operator positions the load by slewing the arm and traversing the trolley. Fixed jibs offer rigid, maintenance-light performance; slewing jibs rotate manually or electrically for 90°–360° coverage. This localized, repeatable handling flow reduces material travel time, eliminates bottlenecks, and increases workstation productivity.
Types of Jib Cranes We Offer
- Pillar Mounted Fixed Jib Crane — Floor-anchored column with rigid jib arm for precise lifting at a single bay.
- Pillar Mounted Slewing Jib Crane — 180°–360° rotation via manual push or motorized slew for wide-area coverage.
- Wall Mounted Fixed Jib Crane — Compact solution using building columns to save floor space near machines.
- Wall Travelling Jib Crane — Jib mounted on a rail to serve multiple stations along a wall line.
- Articulated Jib Crane — Two-piece arm for reaching around obstacles and tight work cells.
Key Features and Specifications
- Capacity Range — Configurable from light tool handling to heavy components as per duty class.
- Slewing Options — Manual slew with low-friction bearings or motorized slew with soft start/stop.
- Arm Options — I-beam, box-girder, or fabricated arm optimized for deflection and reach.
- Hoist & Trolley — Electric chain/rope hoists with pendant or radio remote controls.
- Safety — Overload protection, limit switches, earthing, fail-safe brakes, and guarded cabling.
Applications of Fixed and Slewing Jib Cranes
- Machine Shops — Loading chucks, dies, and fixtures at lathes, VMCs, and grinders with quick turnaround.
- Fabrication & Welding — Positioning plates, sub-assemblies, and jigs at welding bays with fine control.
- Warehousing — Pallet transfer, packing station feeding, and last-mile loading near dock areas.
- Assembly Lines — Ergonomic pick-and-place for motors, gearboxes, and modules at stations.
- Chemical & Pharma — Drum and vessel handling in localized, clean work zones.
Benefits for Gujarat Industries
- Higher Throughput — Serves the point of use, reducing crane wait time and travel distance.
- Operator Ergonomics — Light push effort, smooth slew, and precise micro-positioning.
- Space Efficiency — Pillar or wall options to preserve floor area in tight layouts.
- Low Lifecycle Cost — Simple mechanisms, standardized spares, and easy maintenance.
- Scalable — Modular capacities, arm lengths, and rotation angles tailored to each bay.
Selection Guide — How to Choose Your Jib Crane
- Define maximum load, average load, and duty cycle for the hoist class and brake sizing.
- Measure required radius, hook height, and slewing angle to optimize arm length and column height.
- Check foundation strength or wall integrity for pillar base plates or wall brackets.
- Select manual or motorized slew based on frequency of rotations and load inertia.
- Choose control mode — pendant near the load or radio remote for better visibility and safety.
