Free Standing Column Jib Crane

What is this?

The free standing column jib crane is a jib crane supported by an independent column with a rotating arm that can rotate 360°. Through the lifting and traversing movements of an electric or manual chain hoist along the rotating arm, combined with the arm's rotation, it achieves fast lifting and handling of materials around the workstation. If you are looking for a crane that does not rely on building structures, offers large coverage, and provides flexible operation for a production line workstation, mold workshop, maintenance station, or warehouse, this product is designed for you.

Why choose a free standing column jib crane over a wall-mounted or portable jib crane?

Compared to wall-mounted or portable jib cranes, the free standing column solution offers four core advantages:

First, independent of building structure – completely self-supporting, no wall load bearing required, suitable for light steel structure workshops or buildings without load-bearing walls.

Second, largest coverage – the rotating arm can rotate 360°, covering a complete circular working area, with one crane serving multiple workstations.

Third, stronger load capacity – the free standing column with a large base plate and concrete foundation provides lifting capacity from 0.25 ton to 10 tons.

Fourth, flexible installation position – installation position can be determined arbitrarily according to process layout, not restricted by wall location.

Achieve more flexible workstation coverage with an independent structure.

What can we do for you?

We understand that every customer has different capacity requirements, different arm lengths, and different rotation methods. Therefore, we offer flexible customization options: lifting capacity from 0.25 ton to 10 tons; rotating arm radius from 3 meters to 12 meters; rotation methods of manual or electric; hoist options of manual chain hoist, electric chain hoist, or electric wire rope hoist; control options of pendant or remote radio. Whether your workstation is in the center of the workshop or against the wall, we can match the most suitable arm length and lifting height.

Unsure? Don't know?

Not sure whether to choose manual or electric rotation? Don't know how long the rotating arm needs to be or what size foundation is required? No problem. Just tell us: your maximum lifting capacity, the working area radius to be covered, and your required lifting height. Our engineers will provide you with an accurate quote, CAD drawings, and foundation construction drawings within 24 hours.
