Key Points of Designing a Jib Crane for a Singapore Client

When we design a jib crane for a client, we need to adjust it to the client's individual requirements, it is important to consider your type of operation, facility structure, installation and installation costs, as well as any necessary options such as motorized swivel, box Shaped track suspension and rotation stop.

More specifically, the following factors should be considered when choosing the right jib crane for your specific application:

Capacity: The maximum weight of the application should never exceed the rated capacity/design weight. Ensure your manufacturer is using design criteria that allows the least amount of deflection so as not to hamper the performance of the crane.
Height Under Boom: The distance from the floor to the underside of the boom. It’s important to consider the size of the hoist and the amount of lifting distance when deciding on your HUB.
Overall Height: The height to the highest point on the crane after installation. Any attachments, such as electrical entry, should also be considered to provide full rotational potential and freedom from overhead obstructions.
Working Span: Distance from the floor to the underside of the jib crane’s boom.
Boom Rotation: Freestanding and mast-type jib cranes provide 360-degree rotation. Wall-mounted jibs offer 200-degree rotation, and articulating jibs provide 360-degree rotation on the inner and outer arm (freestanding and ceiling-mounted) and 360-degree rotation on the outer arm and 200-degree rotation on the inner arm (wall-mounted).
Power Requirement: How much power is necessary? Is the power for rotation, trolley, hoist, or all three? How will the power be supplied? Bottom or top entry? Electric or air?
Weatherization: Does the system or its electrical components need to be weatherized for outdoor use?
Installation: Freestanding jibs require reinforced concrete foundations which insure proper installation.
