How to Choose the Right Jib Crane for Your Application
Selecting the right jib crane starts with understanding how and where it will be used. The goal isn’t just to add equipment, it’s to solve a specific material handling challenge efficiently.
Structural Mounting Options for Jib Cranes
Wall or Column Mounted Jib Cranes
Mounted directly to an existing structural column or engineered wall, they work exceptionally well for individual workstations, corners, or assembly areas along facility walls.
Freestanding or Mast Style Jib Cranes
When wall mounting isn’t possible, freestanding cranes offer up to 360° rotation and can serve multiple central work points.
Key Technical Specifications
- Capacity: Specify the maximum load. Jib cranes typically handle 250 lbs to 5 tons.
- Span (Reach): Ensure the boom covers your work area safely without overextending.
- Rotation: Choose 180° for wall-mounted or 360° for freestanding cranes based on layout.
- Duty Cycle: Higher usage requires more robust components for continuous operation.
Jib Crane Solutions by Crane Depot for Your Industrial Applications
Crane Depot offers a complete range of jib crane solutions, all engineered to meet CMAA standards for safety, durability, and performance.
Wall-Boom Jib Cranes
Designed to maximize usable floor space, these cranes mount directly to existing columns or engineered wall supports. They are ideal for fixed workstations and repetitive lifting tasks.
Best for repetitive workstation lifts along walls or columns. Avoid if the supporting structure cannot handle the required moment loads.
Freestanding Jib Cranes
Installed on any proper foundation, designed for maximum flexibility, these cranes provide 360° rotation and can ber foundation, making them ideal for open production areas and multi-station zones.
Best for open floor layouts that require unrestricted coverage across multiple workstations.Avoid if the foundation installation or floor space is limited.
Mast Type Jib Cranes
A lighter-duty freestanding option, mast-type jib cranes are well-suited for capacities up to 1 ton. They offer easier installation while maintaining excellent reach and maneuverability.
Best for quick-to-install lifting solutions up to 1 ton in lighter-use applications. Avoid if higher capacities or heavy-duty cycles are required.
Articulating Jib Cranes
Engineered for precision, these cranes use hinged booms to provide flexible “reach-in” and “fold-away” movement around obstacles and confined workspaces with ease and control.
Best for tight spaces with obstacles requiring flexible reach. Avoid if straight-line lifting meets all operational needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Jib Cranes
My facility has low ceilings. Can I still use a jib crane?
Yes. We offer low-headroom jib crane designs that maximize lift height while staying within your facility’s clearance limits.
What kind of foundation is needed for a freestanding jib crane?
Freestanding cranes typically require a reinforced concrete pier. We provide detailed engineering drawings with all dimensions and specifications for your contractor.
Can I add a jib crane to my existing overhead bridge crane system?
Absolutely. Jib cranes can serve as complementary “spot” lifters, handling smaller tasks and freeing your bridge crane for major moves.
What capacity jib crane do I need?
The required capacity depends on the heaviest load you plan to lift, including rigging and safety margins. Jib cranes are commonly available from 250 lbs to 5 tons, and selecting the correct capacity ensures safe and efficient operation.
Do I need an engineer to approve a wall or column-mounted jib crane?
Yes. Wall and column-mounted jib cranes require structural review to confirm that the supporting wall or column can handle the crane’s loads and moments. Engineering approval helps ensure safe installation and long-term performance.
How often should jib cranes be inspected?
Jib cranes should be visually inspected before regular use and undergo periodic inspections based on usage, duty cycle, and applicable safety standards. More frequent inspections are recommended for cranes in heavy or continuous operation.
