Jib Cranes

Street wall travelling jib cranes are available in capacities up to 20 t incorporating the Street ZX wire rope hoist or in capacities less than 5 t incorporating the Street LX chain hoist. The travelling cantilever structure with hook coverage over a continuous work area makes this type of crane ideal for servicing a line of machines or workstations especially where loads must be moved from one to another. Wall travellers are ideal for overlapping use with overhead cranes where the travelling jib services the work stations down one side of a bay and the overhead crane provides general service of the whole bay. Generally speaking building structures for wall travelling jib cranes need to be specifically designed to take the crane loads.

Advantages of Street wall travelling jib cranes with ZX hoists.

• Extra hoist brake safety.
• Additional protection against overloading.
• No external hoist gears.
• Double band rope guide.
• Hoist gear inspection facility.
• Unique fail-safe hoist drum.
• Variable speed travel and traverse.
• No external trolley gears.
• Sturdy trolley side rollers.
• Trolley reaction roller obviates the need for counter weight.

Street slewing jib cranes are available in capacities up to 15 t incorporating the Street ZX wire rope hoist or in capacities up to 5 t incorporating the Street LX chain hoist. Jib arms may be specified with a working hook radius of up 10 m. Our slewing jib cranes are available with either manual or power slewing mechanisms.

Street pillar slewing jib cranes are floor mounted and available with either 270° of slew in which case the jib arm rotates about a pivot post mounted one side of the pillar or up 360° of slew with the jib arm rotating about the pillar itself. In this second case it is an option to limit slew to less than 360° by positioning end stops. Street wall slewing jib cranes are mounted on a wall or building column providing 180° of slew.

Slewing jib cranes are cost effective individual work station cranes and often operate under an overhead crane which provides general hook coverage.
