Articulating jib arrangements help reach around workstation constraints using a jointed arm. Check the usable movement with the joints in the positions required by the task.
Define the configuration
Selection item | What to provide |
|---|---|
Coverage | Every pickup and placement point relative to the mounting. |
Obstructions | Machines, columns, guards and storage that restrict arm movement. |
Joint positions | Required approach and withdrawal with the load and tool installed. |
Mounting | Support arrangement, structural information and available headroom. |
Check the installation boundary
Maximum reach is not the same as unobstructed access to every point within a circle. Review the arm and load envelope through the movement, including the intended operator position.
Move from a layout to equipment
Prepare a workstation drawing and the required load/movement information. Review the actual model specifications and identify included hoist, controls and attachments before requesting the final installation and quotation scope.

Further questions for your purchasing review
What affects the cost of an articulating jib workstation?
Capacity, span, height, slewing or travel, lifting equipment, structural work and installation affect the total cost.
Draw the usable articulating jib working area
A jointed arm can approach a workstation around constraints. The important drawing shows both arm segments through the intended movement, not only the outer reach circle.
Layout item | What to mark |
|---|---|
Joints | Positions at pickup, travel and final placement. |
Obstacles | Columns, guards, machine roofs and stored material. |
Operator | Standing position and clear access to the load/tool. |
Services | Hose/cable routing through movement without snagging. |
