FAQ
1. What is the ideal application for a 500kg jib crane?
A 500kg capacity is perfect for smaller workshops, maintenance bays, or individual workstations. It’s ideal for lifting tasks that are too heavy for manual handling but don’t require a large-capacity crane, such as lifting small engines, tools, or machine components.
2. Can I install this crane on my existing workshop floor?
This crane requires a new, dedicated concrete foundation to ensure its stability. While it cannot be bolted directly to a standard workshop floor, the foundation can be installed within an existing building, making it a great option for retrofitting.
3. For a 3-ton capacity, is motorized rotation recommended?
Yes. For capacities of 2 tons and above, especially with longer arm lengths, motorized rotation is highly recommended. It provides better control, reduces operator fatigue, and ensures safer, more precise positioning of heavy loads.
4. What is the difference between a wire rope hoist and a chain hoist for this crane?
A wire rope hoist generally offers faster lifting speeds and is ideal for longer lifting heights. An electric chain hoist is typically more compact and can be a more economical choice for standard lifting heights and applications where a low-headroom design is beneficial.
5. How do I get a price for a column-mounted jib crane?
Contact our sales team with your lifting requirements, including the capacity (e.g., 2 tons), arm length, lifting height, and any special features like motorized rotation or a wireless remote. We will provide a customized quote tailored to your plant’s needs.
