Select a jib crane by coverage, mounting and the complete suspended load. Then choose the hoist or lifting device and end tool for the workpiece.
Define the configuration
Selection item | What to provide |
|---|---|
Mounting | Compare floor, wall and articulating arrangements against the workstation. |
Radius and height | Define reachable pickup/placement points and usable hook height. |
Movement | Review the documented slewing/travel and any powered options. |
Complete equipment | Identify crane, hoist, trolley, gripping tool and utility interfaces. |
Check the installation boundary
A crane structure, vacuum lifting station and bare hoist are different supply scopes. Keep capacity definitions, installed equipment and responsibilities aligned when comparing models or prices.
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
Which equipment and installation items affect a jib crane quotation?
Capacity, span, height, slewing or travel, lifting equipment, structural work and installation affect the total cost.
Compare mounting arrangements and alternatives
Arrangement | When to review it |
|---|---|
A local lifting area around a column. Start with working radius, usable hook height and the proposed foundation. | |
A local working area supported from a suitable wall or building column. Review structural support and fixing reactions. | |
Access around workstations or obstructions. Check the joint positions and reachable area throughout the task. | |
Transfers across a defined production area. Establish coverage, supports, travel path and headroom. | |
A working span between supporting legs. Establish clear width, height, access and permitted relocation conditions. |
Draw the usable jib crane working area
Select mounting and movement before ordering the lifting device. The jib structure and the load-handling assembly must have a defined compatible interface and complete load scope.
Layout item | What to mark |
|---|---|
Coverage | Working radius and usable arc at every task position. |
Complete suspended load | Workpiece, tool, lifter and relevant rigging. |
Lifting arrangement | Hoist, vacuum tube or cylinder and required stroke. |
Supply boundary | Structure, tool, utilities, foundations and installation responsibilities. |
Documented equipment route
ET-CR-POST-500 — Jib Crane Column & 3 m Arm
Model / configuration | Rated load | Jib length | Scope of supply |
|---|---|---|---|
500 kg | 3 m | Column and jib; lifter excluded |
ET-CR-CYL-500 — Pneumatic Cylinder & Vacuum Pad Frame Assembly — The 500 kg pneumatic cylinder/pad-frame assembly excludes the column. Specify the compatible complete assembly, rather than treating these separate records as a universal kit.

Responsibility | Agree in the proposal |
|---|---|
Structural design | Selected arrangement, loads/reactions and support/foundation requirements. |
Lifting equipment | Device, trolley/connection, tool and full suspended mass. |
Utilities | Electrical/air arrangement and moving supply path. |
Site work | Installation, access, commissioning and required records. |
Check all pickup and placement positions with the proposed arrangement before acceptance. Do not use another crane’s foundation, anchor dimensions or load chart for this installation.
