Weiyuan 1-5 Ton Column Mounted Slewing Jib Crane

Product Overview
The Weiyuan 1-5 Ton Column Mounted Slewing Jib Crane is an economical and highly efficient lifting solution, perfect for supplementing larger overhead crane systems or for providing dedicated lifting in a specific work area. This BZ-type pillar crane features a robust column mounted directly to the floor, providing a solid, stable base for the slewing jib arm. It offers a versatile lifting capacity from 1 to 5 tons and a full 360-degree rotation, making it ideal for repetitive, localized lifting tasks in workshops, manufacturing plants, and assembly lines. Paired with a reliable electric hoist, this jib crane enhances productivity by making material handling faster, safer, and more precise.
Product Advantages
- High Efficiency and Low Cost: Provides a dedicated lifting solution for a specific zone at a much lower cost than a full overhead bridge crane. It improves workflow by freeing up larger cranes for heavier lifts.
- 360-Degree Work Area Coverage: The slewing arm can rotate a full 360 degrees around the pillar, providing complete and flexible access to the entire circular work area beneath the crane, boosting operational efficiency.
- Sturdy, Freestanding Structure: As a column-mounted design, it is completely self-supporting and does not rely on any building structures. This allows for flexible placement anywhere a suitable concrete foundation can be laid.
- Customizable for Your Application: Weiyuan can tailor the crane to your exact needs, with options for lifting capacity (1-5 tons), arm length, lifting height, and choice of electric hoist (chain or wire rope) and controls.
- Durable and Reliable Performance: Engineered with a high-strength steel pillar and I-beam, along with quality motors and gearboxes, this jib crane is built for durability and requires minimal maintenance for a long service life.
Application Scenarios
- Assembly Lines: An excellent choice for lifting and transferring components along an assembly line, reducing manual effort and speeding up the production cycle.
- Machine Loading: Ideal for positioning next to lathes, mills, or other machine tools to load and unload heavy workpieces or change out tooling and dies.
- Fabrication and Welding Bays: Allows for the easy lifting and rotation of heavy parts for welding, grinding, or assembly, improving both safety and ergonomics.
- Packing and Shipping Areas: Streamlines the process of lifting finished goods from the production floor and placing them into crates or onto pallets for shipping.
- General Workshops: Serves as a versatile lifting tool for various tasks in repair shops, maintenance departments, and small manufacturing facilities.

FAQ
1. What is the difference between a jib crane and an overhead crane?
A jib crane provides lifting coverage in a circular area around its pillar and is used for localized tasks. An overhead crane runs on elevated runways and can cover the entire rectangular area of a building bay, making it suitable for moving materials over longer distances.
2. Can the rotation of this jib crane be stopped at specific angles?
Yes, we can install rotation limit stops if you require the crane’s movement to be restricted to a specific arc, for example, to avoid a nearby wall or machine.
3. What does “working duty A3” mean?
Working duty class A3 signifies that the crane is designed for light service, including relatively infrequent lifts with loads that are typically well below the rated capacity. We can design cranes for higher duty cycles (A4, A5) if your application involves more frequent or heavier lifting.
4. How is the crane controlled?
The standard configuration includes a wired pendant control that hangs from the hoist for managing lift, travel, and rotation. An industrial wireless remote control is also available as an option for greater operator freedom and safety.
5. How do I get a price for this jib crane?
To get an accurate price, please contact our sales team with your required lifting capacity, arm length (span), lifting height, and any other specific operational needs. We will quickly provide you with a detailed, competitive quote.
