Unified Articulating Jib Crane

The Unified Articulating Jib crane is the best choice for applications that require use of the complete jib workspace. As opposed to a standard jib crane where most of the workspace needed is at the end of the boom; the Unified Articulating Jib has an over-under boom design with two 360 degree pivots. This design allows the operator to utilize the complete workspace without losing any ergonomic benefits.

Features and Benefits

  • Over-Under Boom Design with Dual 360° Pivots
    The crane features an articulating arm with two full-rotation pivots. Maximizes the usable workspace by allowing full coverage of the jib area, unlike standard jib cranes that are limited to the end of the boom.
  • Ergonomic Load Handling
    Designed to maintain ergonomic benefits even with full workspace utilization. Reduces operator fatigue and improves safety and efficiency during repetitive lifting tasks.
  • Compact and Versatile Installation
    Floor-mounted design with minimal footprint. Ideal for tight workspaces or areas where overhead cranes are impractical, offering flexibility in layout and workflow.
  • Durable Construction
    Welded steel structure with a powder-coated finish. Provides long-lasting durability and resistance to wear, corrosion, and industrial environments.
  • Upgradeable Configurations
    Options for main and secondary brakes, Zero-G position tracking, and pneumatic lift assists. Allows customization for specific applications and future scalability as operational needs evolve.

FAQs

What is an articulating jib crane, and how is it different from a standard jib crane?

An Articulating Jib Crane features a two-part arm with pivot points that allow for smooth, flexible movement around obstacles and within confined spaces. Unlike standard jib cranes, which rotate on a single axis, articulating models can reach around corners and into work cells with greater precision.

 

Where are articulating jib cranes typically used?

These cranes are ideal for workstations, assembly lines, and areas with limited headroom or obstructions. Their lightweight design and ergonomic operation make them perfect for repetitive lifting tasks in manufacturing, packaging, and maintenance environments.

 

Do Articulating Jib Cranes offer full 360-degree rotation?

While the base of a floor-mounted articulating jib crane may offer 360-degree rotation, the articulating arms themselves provide multi-directional movement through their pivoting joints. This allows for more precise and controlled positioning of loads compared to traditional jib cranes.
