In order to effectively lift and maneuver unwieldy and extremely heavy materials and objects around the workplace, wall mounted jib cranes are probably the best available solution, and offer a great deal of flexibility and high performance to ensure maximum wallproductivity gains are enjoyed.
There are a number of material benefits of a wall mounted jib crane over other similar alternatives, and these benefits vary between accessibility issues to the level of weight that can be moved, as well as the overall stability offered by the unit when it is in use as a lifting agent. Perhaps the most important benefit of mounting a crane on a wall rather than having it set as a floor based movable gantry is that when mounted on a wall, and secured into place, the space that is required on the floor is minimized.
By allowing operators and machinists to have 360 degree access to materials on their benches, you can ensure that they are able to carry out tasks much more quickly, and thereby improve their work productivity.
Different cranes are required for different tasks, and wall mounted jib cranes are most useful in situations where your staff need to be able to lift extremely heavy objects into place in order to work on them or carry out eye level inspections.
A wall mounted jib crane must be securely installed, and when properly fitted and tested, weights of around 2,000 pounds can be lifted by the arm. Rotation of 180 degrees is possible where space allows, and with a jib length of up to 89 inches available, these units offer a wide range of access to make manipulation of otherwise unwieldy objects a much simpler proposition.
The ideal method of mounting one of these units for optimal security is on a vertical girder. The actual height can be set appropriate to your business needs, but it is recommended that for safety the minimum height of the jib should be well above head height. The jib must be fitted horizontally, and is supported by an 85 inch cable for stability. The actual lifting gear can be moved along the jib, as required, and both electrically powered and manual lifting is possible depending on the individual installation.
Where a lower roof space precludes the use of a cable staying system, a wall mounted jib crane with a cantilever is recommended. Thanks to a back weighting, similar levels of stability are possible, although the overall weight of the unit is marginally higher. Performance levels are identical, with lifting capabilities up to 2,000 pounds possible, while a 90 inch jib length means excellent access to a wider area of the work shop floor and more flexibility for staff.
Regardless of the exact system that you opt to install in your workplace, you will find that the wall mounted jib cranes are both efficient and hardwearing and will serve you well in the long term. Purchasing one of these fine lifting systems should be seen as an investment in, rather than a cost to, your business.
