500kg Jib Crane Types and Specifications

There are kinds of 500kg jib cranes for different working conditions and industries. Yuantai Crane mainly supply these 500kg workstation jib cranes as follow.

Which type jib crane is suitable for my factory?

The type of jib crane that is suitable for your factory depends on various factors such as the lifting requirements, available space, and the type of material that needs to be lifted. 

If you're looking at overhead cranes for the purpose of covering particular workstations, supplementing a larger overhead crane, or merely to generate a circular coverage area in one small section of your facility, there are three basic jib types that are commonly used: wall-mounted jibs, floor-mounted jibs, and articulating jibs. Wall-mounted jib cranes can be installed easily on walls and do not need a strong foundation. Cantilever wall-mounted design offers the greatest amount of clearance - above and below the boom. Floor-mounted jib cranes are ideal for outdoor use and can be used to transport material indoors or outdoor areas or mainly in assembly tool rooms. Articulating jib cranes are used when a larger area needs to be covered.

Depending on your factory layout, lifting requirements, and budget, you may choose one or more types of jib cranes to suit your needs. You may also consider the type of hoist, trolley, controls, electrification, and rotation assistance that you need for your jib crane system.
