High Capacity Jib Cranes

Custom Designed & Installed High Capacity Jib Cranes

Our MCI line of jib cranes are designed and installed to exacting specifications, easily meeting all of the current design and engineering regulations for quality, reliability and safety. Munck Cranes in Ontario, has a variety of solutions for all your material handling needs, from large capacity overhead bridge cranes, gantry and semi-gantry cranes to a full line of safe, reliable, high capacity jib cranes and extensions.

How a Jib Crane Works

Jib cranes operate by pivoting a horizontal arm (the jib) around a central mounting point, allowing for precise material handling within a defined circular or semi-circular area. Also known as folding jib cranes, they are ideal for both light and heavy duty applications in confined spaces, and give operators the ability to manage a wide variety of materials depending on how the jib is mounted.

In practice, a jib crane lifts and moves materials efficiently within its designated swing radius.

Wall or column mounted jib cranes are an elegant, cost-effective and reliable material handling solution without a requirement to add additional columns or footings during install. The Munck Cranes team is eager to assist you in selecting or customizing the ideal jib crane solution to align with your application and building requirements.

Jib Crane Components & Design Features:

Jib crane design features

Unique Power Drive with Built-in Clutch

Enhances operational control and safety by allowing precise movement adjustments. This mechanism helps prevent overload and wear during daily use.

Spherical Self-Aligning Roller Bearing

Facilitates smooth and consistent rotational movements, improving crane efficiency and load handling. These bearings reduce friction and extend mechanical lifespan.

Inspection Hole with Cover for Access to Collector Rings

Provides maintenance access, ensuring the crane remains in optimal working condition. Quick inspections can minimize downtime and spot wear early.

Machined Pressure Ring

Delivers smooth and accurate rotation, critical for precise positioning of loads. High-precision machining reduces vibration and noise during operation.

Torsion-Free Heavy Wall Column

Ensures structural integrity and stability, crucial for handling heavy loads. It resists twisting under stress, maintaining vertical alignment.

Special Gusset Flanges Designed for Strength

Enhances the crane's durability and load-bearing capacity. They distribute stress across wider areas for long-term structural support.

Compact Baseplate

Allows for efficient use of space and easier installation in various environments. This design is ideal for tight spaces or retrofit scenarios.

Anchor Bolts and Template Package Available for Pre-Installation

Simplifies the installation process, reducing setup time and potential errors. Pre-planned installation ensures better safety and alignment.

Removable Endplate

Offers flexibility in crane configuration and maintenance. This feature allows technicians to access internal components with ease.

Universal Adjustable Endstops

Provides customizable limits to crane movement, enhancing safety and preventing over-travel. You can adjust them to meet site-specific constraints.

Wire Rope or Chain Hoist

Offers versatile options for load handling, adaptable to different weights and environments. Each hoist type suits specific height or duty requirements.

Down Support with Torque-Free Design

Improves stability and reduces strain on the crane structure during operation. It eliminates unwanted twisting that can compromise safety.

Machined Roller Box Ensures True Rotation

Guarantees precise and consistent crane movements, essential for handling delicate operations. It plays a key role in repeatable positioning accuracy.

Lockable On/Off Switch

Enhances safety by providing an easy method to cease crane operations immediately when necessary. Prevents unauthorized or accidental activation.

Power Feed

Supplies continuous power to the crane, essential for consistent operation. A reliable feed avoids performance interruptions during use.

Foundation Distributes Overturning Loads

Optimizes load distribution, crucial for maintaining stability and preventing structural failures. Proper foundation design ensures safe, long-term operation.

The Different Types of Jib Cranes We Design and Install

Jib cranes come in several types, each designed for specific application needs and workspace configurations.

Here are the most common types of jib cranes:

Wall-Mounted Jib Cranes

Wall-Mounted Jib Cranes

These cranes are attached to a wall or vertical structure and do not require a floor base. They offer a 180-degree rotation and are ideal where space is limited. ​Benefits include exceptional boom clearance and they can be collapsed to avoid interference for other overhead cranes and equipment in your facility.

Free-Standing Jib Cranes

Free-Standing Jib Cranes

Mounted directly to the floor, these cranes don’t rely on building support. They allow 360-degree rotation, making them versatile across industries.

Mast-Style Jib Cranes

Mast-Style Jib Cranes

Floor-supported and top-stabilized, these cranes offer 360-degree rotation without a foundation. They provide higher capacity and reach.

Articulating Jib Cranes

Articulating Jib Cranes

Featuring two independently moving arms, these cranes offer excellent maneuverability in tight spaces and around obstructions.

Wall-Traveling Jib Cranes

Wall-Traveling Jib Cranes

Mounted on wall rails, this crane type travels laterally along long walls, ideal for extended workspaces with linear lifting paths.

Portable Jib Cranes

Cantilever Jib Crane

A cantilever jib crane is a hoisting crane with a swing or fixed cantilever (a long projecting beam or girder fixed at only on end, along which a hoisting trolley moves). Cantilever cranes are used primarily in shops of industrial enterprises and in closed warehouses. Load capacity of cantilever cranes ranges from 4 Tons to 10 Tons.
