Jib Crane by Hylo Lifting

Industrial Lifting Solutions

Jib Crane

Compact, efficient workstation lifting with up to 360-degree rotational coverage. Engineered for precision material handling at individual work cells across your factory floor.

Product Overview

What is a Jib Crane?

A jib crane is a type of crane that uses a horizontal boom (or jib arm) mounted on a vertical mast or wall bracket to lift and move loads within a circular area. Unlike overhead bridge cranes that cover an entire bay, jib cranes provide dedicated, localized lifting at specific workstations, assembly points, or machine centres.

Hylo Lifting manufactures a complete range of jib cranes designed for Indian industrial conditions. Whether you need a wall mounted jib crane to save floor space in a cramped machine shop or a free-standing pillar jib crane for open assembly areas, our engineering team delivers solutions tailored to your exact lifting requirements and facility layout.

Our jib cranes integrate seamlessly with electric chain hoists and can be combined with our KBK rail systems for complete material handling coverage across your production line.

Types of Jib Cranes We Manufacture

Each jib crane type is purpose-built for different facility layouts and operational demands. Choose the configuration that matches your workspace.

Wall Mounted Jib Crane

Mounted directly to structural columns, walls, or building frames, the wall mounted jib crane eliminates the need for a floor-standing mast. The boom arm swings in an arc of up to 200 degrees, providing generous coverage while keeping the floor completely clear for workers and equipment.

Best For

  • check_circle Space-constrained machine shops
  • check_circle CNC machine loading and unloading
  • check_circle Workstations along structural walls
foundation

Pillar Mounted Jib Crane

The pillar jib crane features a vertical steel mast secured to the floor with anchor bolts, supporting a rotating boom arm that achieves full 360-degree rotation. This free-standing design can be placed anywhere on the factory floor, independent of building structure, giving you complete flexibility in positioning.

Best For

  • check_circle Open assembly areas and bays
  • check_circle Central workstations needing full rotation
  • check_circle Heavy-duty lifting up to 2000kg
forklift

Floor Mounted Jib Crane

Floor mounted jib cranes use a heavy-duty base plate that sits on a reinforced concrete foundation, providing robust stability for demanding lifting tasks. Ideal for outdoor or semi-covered environments such as loading docks and storage yards where wall or column mounting is not feasible.

Best For

  • check_circle Loading docks and dispatch areas
  • check_circle Outdoor storage yards
  • check_circle Standalone installations without building support

Engineered Performance

Key Features of Hylo Jib Cranes

Every Hylo jib crane is built with precision-machined components and industrial-grade materials for years of reliable service in demanding environments.

360-Degree Rotation

Pillar and floor mounted models rotate a full 360 degrees on precision bearings, giving operators unobstructed access to every point within the boom radius. Wall mounted variants provide up to 200 degrees of smooth, effortless swing.

compress

Compact Footprint

Jib cranes occupy minimal floor space compared to overhead bridge cranes. The vertical mast or wall bracket design leaves the work area clear, maximizing usable shop floor real estate for operators and equipment.

Easy Operation

Lightweight boom construction with sealed bearings enables smooth manual operation. Motorized rotation and trolley traverse options are available for higher-capacity models, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive lifting cycles.

weight

Heavy Load Support

Rated capacities from 100kg for light tool handling up to 2000kg for heavy industrial components. Structural calculations are performed for every installation to ensure safety margins exceed IS and FEM standards.

straighten

Customizable Reach

Boom lengths from 2 metres to 6 metres are standard, with custom lengths engineered on request. The reach is precisely specified to match your workstation layout and load handling requirements.

height

Low Headroom Design

Optimized for factories with limited overhead clearance. The jib arm profile minimizes the headroom required while maintaining full load capacity, making installation possible even in older buildings with low ceilings.

Where They Work

Jib Crane Applications

Hylo jib cranes are deployed across diverse industrial settings where precise, repetitive lifting at fixed positions is required.

precision_manufacturing

Machine Shops

Loading raw material into CNC machines, lathes, and milling centres. The jib crane swings heavy workpieces into position without occupying valuable floor space around the machine.

conveyor_belt

Assembly Lines

Positioning components at assembly stations along the production line. Operators lift parts from pallets and place them precisely where needed for assembly operations.

local_shipping

Loading Docks

Lifting pallets, drums, and containers from trucks to the dock floor. Floor mounted jib cranes provide the reach and rotation needed to cover the unloading zone efficiently.

build

Maintenance Bays

Removing and reinstalling heavy equipment components during scheduled maintenance. The crane provides the overhead lifting point needed without a permanent overhead crane installation.

construction

Tool Rooms

Handling dies, moulds, and heavy tooling fixtures. Wall mounted jib cranes are particularly effective in tool rooms where floor space is limited and precise positioning is critical.

factory

Workshop Stations

General-purpose lifting at fabrication benches, welding stations, and inspection tables. Each workstation gets its own dedicated jib crane for independent, uninterrupted operation.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a jib crane used for?

A jib crane is used for lifting and positioning loads within a fixed arc or full circle at individual workstations. Common applications include machine tending, assembly line material handling, loading and unloading at docks, maintenance operations, and tool room lifting. Jib cranes provide localized lifting coverage without occupying floor space, making them ideal for repetitive short-distance material handling tasks in factories and workshops.

What types of jib cranes does Hylo manufacture?

Hylo Lifting manufactures three primary types of jib cranes: Wall Mounted Jib Cranes that attach directly to structural columns or walls, Pillar Mounted Jib Cranes with a free-standing vertical mast anchored to the floor, and Floor Mounted Jib Cranes with a heavy base plate for standalone installation. Each type is available in manual or motorized configurations with capacities from 100kg to 2000kg.

What is the maximum load capacity of Hylo jib cranes?

Hylo jib cranes are available with load capacities ranging from 100kg to 2000kg. The exact capacity depends on the crane type, boom length, and mounting configuration. Wall mounted jib cranes typically handle up to 1000kg, while pillar and floor mounted models can support loads up to 2000kg. Custom capacities can be engineered for specific industrial requirements.

Can jib cranes be combined with KBK rail systems?

Yes, jib cranes work exceptionally well alongside KBK light crane rail systems. A jib crane can serve as a dedicated workstation lifting point that feeds into a larger KBK rail network for material transport across the facility. Hylo Lifting designs integrated material handling solutions combining jib cranes with both steel and aluminium KBK rail systems for seamless workflow coverage.
